Why brain nutrition starts with fats
When we think about brain nutrition, we often think of glucose, magnesium, B vitamins. These are important elements. But they are based on an often-neglected foundation: the quality of the fats that make up the brain itself.
Understanding this logic changes the way we approach brain nutrition.
The brain is a fatty organ
The brain is composed of approximately 60% fat by dry weight. This fat is not an energy store. It is functional: it forms the membranes of neuronal cells, the myelin sheaths that surround axons, and the synapses where exchanges between neurons occur.
The quality of this fat directly influences membrane fluidity, the speed of nerve signal transmission, and synaptic plasticity.

Why the form of omega-3s matters as much as the dose
Most common and least expensive form. Lower bioavailability than the natural form, especially on an empty stomach.
Natural form of omega-3s found in fish. Better absorbed by the body, especially when taken with a meal. This is the form chosen by MySynapz for Daily Brain Nutrition.

What MySynapz observes
Daily Brain Nutrition is the nutritional pillar of the MySynapz method. Covering basic omega-3 needs is a priority before optimizing cognitive functions with other active ingredients.
Observing what the brain receives is the basis of any serious cognitive approach.

It is the natural form of omega-3s. It has better absorption by the body than the ethyl ester form, especially when taken with a meal.
EPAX is a Norwegian laboratory, a global benchmark for the quality of concentrated omega-3s. Its fish oils are certified for their purity, concentration, and stability.
No. Daily Brain Nutrition is formulated from fish oil and fish gelatin capsules.
Yes, this is the recommended combination in the Brain Foundation protocol.
Brain nutrition starts with the foundations. And quality fats are the first.
