to overcomplicate this and try and think, oh, you know, I have to hit all these things at this interval.

And if I can't do that, then I have to supplement.

And in reality, we probably have more buffer in the system than we realize.

So omega three fats is a really good example.

your adipose tissue, your fat tissue is a depot.

You know, it kind of stores excess omega-3s.

I actually wrote a paper on this with a colleague of mine, Rory Heath, a few years ago.

The long chain omega-3s that we have in our fat stores

may help to explain why supplementation does or doesn't work in some of these trials.

Because some people just have more kind of hanging around.

And if you eat more than you need on one day, especially in a state of caloric excess, that's going to be stored in your fat tissue.

And then when you're sleeping or when you initiate lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, so particularly during periods like you're doing exercise, those then get released and the brain then has access to them.

So there's some studies that

show that when you, this relates to the form of the omega-3s as well.

So many people will tell you that you have to take omega-3s in the phospholipid form, which is like a special, it's a special supplement.

You can get it from krill.

And the form is, the fat is attached to like a phospholipid head group, just like it would be if it was sitting in a cell membrane.

And there's a specific pathway for those to get into the brain.

No, so fish tends to be the triglyceride form, which is glycerol and then three fatty acids attached.

When you compare a single dose of phospholipid versus triglyceride form, then more of the phospholipid form gets into the brain.
