There are a lot of foods that help to improve your general health, but there is nothing so closely related to your brain than fish. How could an animal from the sea be related to our human brains? Well, it turns out that the fact that is in fish (called DHA and EPA) is what a large percentage of our brain is made of. If you are trying to make sure you have a healthy brain with proper cognitive function, it is a good idea to make sure that you have enough of the DHA and EPA fish oil. Sometimes eating enough fish every day can be a difficult and expensive task. A pound of salmon is more costly than most other meats and for many families, it is just too expensive (and undesirable) to eat fish for so many meals. This is one of the main reasons why getting fish oil in your nootropic stack might be a good idea. While you may not feel an immediate effect, such as concentration or stimulation, you will have a lot of advantages for your long term brain health. You might be thinking clearer and having a better perspective. There are plenty of people who have too little DHA and EPA and this is one of the main causes of neurological diseases and degeneration later in life. If you really want to get the most potent advantage from fish, you can opt for krill oil instead of the fish oil. The krill oil is more efficiently absorbed because of a molecule called asthaxanthin. Starting with a low dose of omega-3 fatty acids from fish is going to help you no matter what, but getting a higher dose is even better. You can take high doses of fish oil without any safety concerns!
