EPA specifically is said to lower elevated blood pressure.

The fatty acids include the essential nutrients omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid which have been positively correlated with cadiovascular health, cancer prevention, and as a therapy for children with autism.

| Final Thoughts |

Brain Support Soft gels may have some limited effectiveness for certain individuals experiencing mild memory loss associated with aging. The savvy consumer who is looking for a more a more comprehensive product to address both memory loss and mild to moderate depression that is quite common in healthy older adults, a product made with Lithium Orotate may prove more suitable.
