E25 - Behaviour, learning & performance with Dr Alex Richardson


Listen Later

Omega-3 has a role in children and adult behaviour, learning, and performance. We delve a little deeper discussing whether:

  1. Nature or nurture
  2. Can environmental factors/triggers really make a difference
  3. Suggested omega-3 dose to notice an effect
  4. What are the essential vitamins & minerals to get the most from omega-3

We provide further information about the role of omega-3 in anxiety and mood in our Brain food webinar.
