Omega 3
Omega-3…
Dear Heather,
It is the Omega-3 fatty acids in the fish that are good for the myelin and nerves. Omega-3 are the basic building blocks for the myelin sheath, nerve tissue, and brain cells. It is concentrated throughout the food chain, but is most abundant in the oils of cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, cod and mackerel.
If you are buying Omega-3 in capsule form try to get a brand with the [U]fish oil coming from heads and skins,[/U] with no fish liver oil. Fish liver oil, in addition to containing a rich source of Omega-3, also tend to collect toxins in the environment like mercury and arsenic. A good product will get its fish oil from heads and skins from an unpolluted environment, and will do toxicity checks on every batch to make sure the product is safe.
As Gene said, time is still the best medicine. Wishing Nathan, you, and your family the best.
Warmest regards.
Jethro
