Improve Focus with Behavioral Tools & Medication for ADHD | Dr. John Kruse

And that doesn't mean every study there has been positive either, but the most consistent field for a mental health benefit or a health benefit. And there the recommendation is usually target about 1,000 milligrams of EPA of eicosapentaenoic acid a day. If you're seeing some benefit, but it feels like that there's more room for improvement, so this is my model, I tell people then you could

probably double it reasonably. I mean, some of the dramatic studies looking at fish oil for mania, people hospitalized with it, and they used dosages as high as 7,000 milligrams a day. To treat mania? Yeah. And that study, I think it was a Harvard area clinic that was doing it,

The results were so dramatic that they ethically had to stop the study before its intended completion because the benefits seemed to be so robust in the fish oil group compared to that it was unethical to not put everyone on fish oil. That's a lot of fish oil.

So the other thing that I think is understudied with the fish oil issue is that and it's a Harvard guy who has a proprietary brand of purified EPA. that pushes it.

So in nature, whether you're a whale or a human or a butterfly or maybe not insects, I'm not sure, across the mammal, bird, reptile kingdom, the omega-3s are found in about a two-to-one ratio of EPA to DHA, eicosapenta-honoic acid to docosahexaenoic acid. And what I tell people is I think Mother Nature is probably smarter than any Harvard professor. And

The brain particularly is high in brain membranes of DHA. So I don't see, some people seek out EPA purified or sole, you know, only EPA brands. That to me doesn't make a lot of sense. So I would say we can still count or do the numbering based on about 1,000 milligrams of EPA, but don't worry that you're getting about 300, 400 milligrams of DHA and probably that's better for you.

I'm going to kind of pass on that by just saying it's complicated and probably important and so many variables that it's hard to know what's really valuable in a day-to-day real human living perspective.
