Omega 3 and its Nootropic Properties
Description
Omega 3 is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that is essential for human health. It is also known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega 3 is found in many foods, including fish, nuts, and seeds. It is also available in supplement form.
