Omega-3 fatty acids promote the clearance of brain metabolites

Fish oil promotes the clearance of metabolites from the brain!
New research published in The FASEB Journal reports that Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, found in fish oil, could improve the function of the glymphatic system, which advances the clearance of waste from the brain, and promote the clearance of metabolites including amyloid beta peptides, a primary culprit in Alzheimer’s disease.
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids help maintain the brain homeostasis, which may provide benefits in a number of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and sleep impairment, among others.
