Have you taken your Omega 3 today?

Hi,
This study showed that mice responded well to Omega 3.

I take fish oil or flax seed oil or both whenever I remember --- which is about 4 days a week. I take the pills with food ---- this makes it hard to remember --to have to deal with food and pills at the same time. Maybe I don't need the food and pills at the same time.
Does anyone know?

In the study, researchers showed conclusive behavioral and molecular benefits for omega 3 given to mice engineered to show bipolar disorder behaviors. The fatty acid DHA, which is one of the main active ingredients in fish oil, “normalized their behavior,” says Alexander B. Niculescu, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study.

“There is now substantial evidence at the molecular level that omega-3 fatty acids work on the brain in ways similar to psychiatric drugs,” said Niculescu. “With these biomarker findings, we can now move forward as a field and do more targeted clinical studies in humans.”
