It's basically just an Omega-3 supplement - similar to drinking a glass or two of red wine.

Anyway, Omega-3's were recommended to me by my doctor. Although the studies have been inconclusive on many subjects, omega-3's have been shown to promote cardiovascular (emphasis on the vascular) health and to aid neurological function. They aid in the repair of damaged cells, and have been shown to have effect in treating everything from Huntington's to bipolar disorder.

As for me - when I increase my intake (I take supplements and drink red wine), I notice that I'm more likely to maintain a positive outlook, have an easier time staying focused, and my circulation improves. None of these effects are drastic, but they are definitely noticeable.

Again, taking supplements can be problematic depending on your specific medicines and medical conditions, but it might be something to talk to your doctor about.

Best!
