Re: omega 3 fatty acids

No, cod liver oil contains vitamin A, but omega-3 supplements in general do not. If it contains even minimal vitamin A, it will be listed on the bottle.

Essentially you just look for an omega-3 product with standardized EPA and DHA content. Aim for about 1 gram of EPA per day.

One theory is that Acutaine alters the neuronal lipid ballance from omega-3 to omega-6, and decreases the incorperation of omega-3 into neuronal membranes. In doing so, it may alter brain serotoin and dopamine content. Omega-3 have a very high turnover rate, so if something depletes the brain of omega-3 it can take a long while to restore a ballance.

Its easy to shrug it off as a supplement, but the popularity of omega-3 supplements are growing for a reason. I'd try it for a month and just see if you don't notice an improvement.
