EPA/DHA AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Your brain is composed almost entirely of fat, which has everything to do with a very large body of research that shows EPA and DHA exert powerful effects over cognitive function and protection.
DPA(docosahexaenoic acid) improves learning and is essential for normal brain function. Cognitive decline appears to be associated with a loss in DHA concentration in the brain.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) exerts vast neuro protective effects. Recent research supports the use of EPA to improve a wide array of mental disorders such as depression, bi-polar disorder and Hungtingtons disease

There are two aspects to Cognitive Supplementation: Improving mental performance and preventing age related cognitive decline.
Mental Performance Supplements:
Supplements for mental performance focus on improving neurotransmitter activity , glucose utilization in the brain or blood/brain barrier function. Supplements for mental performance are
Huperzine, Vinpocetine, GABA, EPA/DHA, phosphatydilserine
Age Related Cognitive Decline Supplements:
Supplementation to prevent cognitive decline from age focuses on preventing lipid peroxidation within the brain through increased presence of anti-inflammatory agents such as EPA and DHA and anti-oxidants such as polyphenols like Quercetin. Supplements to improve age related cognitive decline are
Eicosapentaenoic Acid, Quercetin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea
