Therapy/Class:
Mechanism of Action:
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): It is an omega-3 fatty acid, it plays a role in brain health, serving as a structural component in cell membranes and influencing neurotransmitter function. Additionally, it modulates immune responses and has antioxidative properties. The combined actions contribute to EPA’s anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory effects, promoting overall health and well-being.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): It is an omega-3 fatty acid, exerts its multifaceted actions through intricate cellular and molecular mechanisms. As a fundamental building block of cell membranes, particularly in the brain and retina, it enhances membrane fluidity, impacting cellular signalling and receptor function. Its role in neurotransmission involves supporting synaptic activity and influencing the release of neurotransmitters, crucial for optimal brain function. DHA’s also have neuroprotective effects involve promoting the production of neurotrophic factors and reducing oxidative stress, contributing to the survival and function of nerve cells. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in vision health, being a major component of retinal cells. The diverse actions of DHA underscore its importance in brain health, cognitive function, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, and vision maintenance.
