The Omega-3 Fatty Acid EPA is Important to Mental Health
The increased prevalence of mental illness and the surge of new medications may indicate a greater need for prevention and the need to focus on the health of the brain.

Res-Q 1250, our high-potency omega-3 supplement, helps maintain a healthy mood. We include a healthy balance of both EPA and DHA, the building blocks of the brain, the majority of which is comprised of fats. Res-Q 1250 is effective because it is a direct source of the omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA, the very same active ingredients that are identified in clinical studies published in the medical journals. Res-Q 1250 contains more EPA and DHA per capsule for less.
EPA Study
Patients diagnosed with major depression disorder were given the fatty acid EPA, medication, or EPA plus medication for 8 weeks. The combination of treatment with the omega-3 fatty acid EPA plus the medication was “significantly better” than either treatment alone. In conclusion, omega-3 supplements containing EPA are beneficial to the health of the brain. Furthermore, the fatty acid EPA is as important as DHA for complete mental health.
