Omega-3 Dietary Supplements Pass Blood-Brain Barrier

Research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now shows that omega-3 fatty acids can get through the blood-brain barrier of people who suffer from Alzheimer's. The fatty acids crossing the barrier can affect possible sources of the disease. Studies still must be carried out to discover whether or not omega-3 can be used as a treatment, but in experimental studies, positive changes were recognized in the group taking the omega-3.
