Thanks for the interesting links Lar (btw, do you mind if I call you Lar?).
You've convinced me that DHA is, well, essential. What I am not sure about is the optimum amount of DHA relative to EPA. It has been suggested that too low of an EPA/DHA ratio may be ineffective or even counterproductive for cognitive purposes.
Do you have an opinion on this? For example a company Minami Nutrition boasts a capsule containing 581 mg EPA and 70 mg DHA. That's a ratio of about 7. Nordic Naturals makes one with 850 mg EPA and 200 EPA (ratio of 4.25).
Thanks...Peace...Saturn.
