Flaxseed may have 40 milligram, 50 milligram.

And in general, I recommend omega-3 fatty acid supplements at a dose of 1,000 milligram per day.

This is what I take myself.

Other than that, I don't recommend any other supplements.

There are many, there are at least a thousand supplements with claims that it helps the brain, and I'm sure they do.

But why would I take supplements when I can take a lot of fruits and vegetables?

Absolutely right.

The omega-3 index levels of eight or higher are better.

And you can definitely easily check your omega-3 indexes.

It's readily available in many places.

And I actually published a study in 1997 where we looked at individuals with low versus high omega-3 fatty acids and their incidence of Alzheimer's.

And we found that people who had high levels of omega-3

were less likely to get Alzheimer's disease, very similar to the Biobank data you just mentioned.

One interesting study is in France to look at incidents of Alzheimer's disease and omega-3 index in towns near the ocean versus town center of France.

And they found that people who live near the water and eat fish more often had higher levels of omega-3 fatty acid and they had lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

Yes, and also there is the vegetarian version of omega 3 fatty acids from algae.

Algae, right.

So there's a form called algal DHA that is for people who are vegetarian.

Mindset.

We just talked about stress and the effects of stress in the brain.
