Turn on your brain
It's interesting how we never stop discovering more about how the human body works. Every day, impressive progress is made by scientists who have a thirst for knowledge and discovery. These advances therefore allow us to be able to better take care of our body and provide it with what it needs to keep it in good shape. The same goes for nutrients. While fats were all perceived negatively, today we make many distinctions. There are always lipids which belong to the bad clan, but there are many others essential to our health. For example, omega 3, these fats which increasingly confirm their beneficial, even essential, nature.
The big family of omega 3
Omega 3s come in different 'kinds'. The most popular are DHA (or ADH in French) and EPA. Both have different functions in the body. In short, DHA, which will be discussed in this article, will be more effective in the brain, while EPA acts in the rest of the body. That's a very crude way of explaining it. The functioning of the body is not so categorical!
DHA for the brain
DHA is isolated mainly from the oil of certain cold sea fish, rich in fats including omegas. Note that fish do not produce DHA but obtain it from the phytoplankton (plant plankton) that they consume.
What is the advantage of switching to a DHA supplement rather than a standard fish oil blend with EPA and DHA? Science shows that our brain is made up primarily of one fat: DHA. Consuming a DHA concentrate will therefore have a direct impact on it: improvement of cognitive functions, including memory, improvement of attention disorders, concentration and focus. Sorry! That's a lot of people, big and small (and yes, school-age children and students benefit greatly from it!) who, through regular consumption of omega 3 DHA, will feel the benefits.
DHA on the market
The Renew Life company offers Cerebrum , a product composed of 2 major constituents:
– 540 mg of DHA (for 27g of EPA)
– an American ginseng extract (Cereboost) having clinically proven its ability to increase cognitive functions by 10%
Concretely, this means that a Cerebrum capsule will increase your cognitive performance during the 6 hours following its consumption (allow 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes for digestion).
This supplement is available in the form of an enteric-coated capsule containing the lipase enzyme, all of which ensures the release of oil at the intestinal level, promoting its digestion and preventing fishy-tasting reports. Additionally, rosemary extract provides antioxidant protection for this highly sensitive blend. All is said. All that remains is to check that this product is well suited to your condition.
