Omega-3 Fatty Acids
(EPA, DHA) Anti-inflammatory, membrane, and neuromodulatory lipids central to BRAIN Diet
(EPA, DHA) Anti-inflammatory, membrane, and neuromodulatory lipids central to BRAIN Diet
Vegan DHA source from microalgae
Lean fish with omega-3, taurine, and creatine
General category of fish eggs providing phospholipid-bound omega-3s
Oily fish rich in EPA/DHA omega-3s
Fish roe providing phospholipid-bound omega-3s
Oily fish rich in EPA/DHA, CoQ10, taurine, and vitamin D
Nutrient-dense bivalve providing phospholipid-bound omega-3s; accepted by some vegans (ostroveganism)
Highest zinc content among common foods; unique source of phospholipid-bound omega-3s; accepted by some vegans (ostroveganism)
Oily fish rich in EPA/DHA, protein, and B vitamins
Phospholipid-bound omega-3s with superior brain bioavailability
Small oily fish rich in EPA/DHA, CoQ10, and calcium
Iodine, EPA (in red algae), magnesium, and trace minerals
Fish providing omega-3, niacin, selenium, and complete protein
An Anti-inflammatory polyphenol-rich breakfast bowl with high fibre. Start the day with anti-inflammatory gingerols and omega 3 nuts, blueberry polyphenols, a fibre from steel rolled oats. Great to set up dopamine for focus and attention.
A functional ECS-supportive bowl combining salmon, avocado, pistachios, cacao nibs, and early harvest olive oil to help preserve anandamide tone, improve membrane lipid composition, and support gut–brain signaling.
Essential omega-3 precursor; limited conversion to DHA/EPA
Accounts for ~10–15% of total brain fatty acids, 20–30% of neuronal phospholipids (PE, PS), and >90% of brain omega-3 PUFA; critical for membrane fluidity, synaptic vesicle fusion, neurodevelopment
The "intermediate" between EPA ↔ DHA; important in vascular health, repair, and immune modulation
Potent anti-inflammatory; precursor to E-series resolvins; modulates dopamine and serotonin signalling
