I suspect Big Pharma will make a "medical food" out of all this.
It is not the first time.
Way back the Basel corp found EFAs(including Omega-3s) worked for blepharospasms.

Abstract
Dopamine depletion induced by administration of Ro4-1284 produces a condition of rapid and repeated eye blinking in rats. This condition mimics the human disorder, blepharospasm, which often accompanies parkinsonism and other dopamine deficiency disorders. When given a 3-week course of a compound (SR-3) developed from a specific ratio of two free polyunsaturated fatty acids - linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid - the eye blinking rate following administration of Ro4-1284 is reduced to saline and no drug control levels. These results suggest a favorable prospect for essential fatty acids in general, and SR-3 in particular, to provide an improved therapeutic option for the clinical management of benign essential blepharospasm.

And of course we also have Lovaza (fish oil) RX.
And there are several prenatal vitamins now containing DHA as well. (they are RX too). But there is one OTC called Expecta.

Back when I started online over a decade ago, none of these papers/products were out yet. EFA information was not in mainstream media, and Dr. Sears had just written his first book.
