In reply to How much Omega 3 and which brand?, posted by April8 on March 11, 2006, at 13:17:26
Ususally omega supplements are measured by content of EPA and DHA.
Many authors thing that it is the EPA that confers the most antidepressant effect. Many studies suggest about 1 gram = 1000mg of EPA is beneficial.
As far as brand, I like Now Foods brand. It is available in many countries and their products are well tested, and screened.
I notice that I am more blissfull. Life is a bit more smooth. Stressfull things don't hit me as hard, and don't penetrate as deep.
Though, studies suggest that it can take a little while for the brain to become saturated, so beneifit may occur gradually. I personally noted change within about 2 weeks. If you keep a diary, it may help.
