EPA

“There's now a lot of data showing that ingesting one to three grams of EPA in particular in the form of either fish oil capsules or liquid can be beneficial for a number of different aspects of brain and body health and can enhance focus and cognitive ability.”

“that are going to support focus and concentration. It's not as if taking one to three grams of EPA essential fatty acids per day is going to tap directly into only the circuits for focus and concentration. The other thing that can positively modulate brain function, and that actually works”

“disease called Epanova. We went to an outcome study and it didn't work, but it was DHA and EPA, but mostly EPA had some DHA. And that was four grams?”

“It was 50-50 primary. And so if I had to do it all over again, I would have made it all secondary, just like mostly the REDUCEIT trial was, which is the EPA-only trial. So the Reduced trial showed a benefit, and it could have been likely had some effects of the mineral oil placebo, tilting it a little bit.”

“membrane concentration of EPA and DHA, and it's very low, 4%, and they were to supplement with a very high-quality over-the-counter EPA and DHA, and they were to get that to 10%.”

“the omega-3 fatty acids, which come in varieties like EPA and DHA, have been explored at relatively high dosages for their ability to offset some of the effects of mania and to offset the effects of depressive episodes in bipolar disorder.”

“big trial that shows perhaps for preventing or lessening residual risk in people who have ApoB controlled, the EPA is a little bit more important. And the DHA plus the EPA, there's a trial where that didn't work as well as the EPA.”

“serum or EPA-DHA level in the RBC membrane of 10% versus 6%? What's your level of confidence? Well, the data is all going to come from observational trials for the most part.”

“with sudden death and increased atherosclerotic heart disease. Again, we lack the randomized controlled trials that changing that will reduce events other than that one trial of EPA and insulin-resistant high-risk people who had APL-B well-controlled. So you're in that gray zone,”

“they tested these three interventions that I talked about. So giving vitamin D, giving EPA, DHA, and assigning exercise. They tested them individually and in combination. So each individual is then randomized to one of eight groups for the duration of the study, which is a three-year duration study.”

“2000 IU of vitamin D, a relatively modest amount of EPA and DHA. So one gram a day that contained 330 milligrams of EPA, 660 milligrams of DHA. And this was from marine algae. And then adherence for both the vitamin D and omega-3 levels was assessed by changes in serum level.”
