Omega 3 And Surprising Result

[grasscarp]

I recently took part in a 6 month blind trial of effects on over 60s taking Omega 3 supplement. I was not told if I was taking it or the placebo. We were tested at intervals for ability to walk quickly, take steps up and down, jump, grip test, mental dexterity and bone strength.
I told the tester on the last visit that I was pretty sure I had taken the Omega 3 and one of the main things I had noticed was a feel of real well being and general contentment with life.
Sure enough a week or two later they confirmed I had been on real thing.
I have had a look on internet and it seems there is a correlation between depression and being short of Omega 3.
Just wanted to say I am now buying these for myself as I dont want to lose the very real effect they had on me. I would also recommend them to other ABers who may want to boost the feel good factor.

Thank you for that Sqad. As always you are mine of useful information. If I were more organised I would be buying and eating oily fish more often. Will try to do better.

Looks promising grasscarp.

Didn't they offer a free 6 months supply for your time and trouble?

[grasscarp]

TRT, No they only gave them free during the study. If someone was on the placebo they got given 6 months worth. Other studies I have done have also paid but not this one. It didn't cost me anything thanks to my freedom pass.
