In Brief:
Lemerond noted it is primarily known as a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, which may help fight oxidative damage in the brain caused by stress and anxiety, as well as reducing inflammatory markers in the bloodstream and preventing low levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine. Lemerond also explored the beneficial effects of long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have been shown in studies to relieve symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety, and improve concentration. Instead of turning to straight fish oil supplements, Lemerond suggested consuming products produced using a cold water and enzyme process (vectorization) that yields naturally occurring marine phospholipids with DHA and EPA, which are carried by phospholipids instead of triglycerides for increased bioavailability and absorption.. Finally, Lemerond added people facing depression can also turn to cognitive therapy, spiritual direction, prayer and other forms of behavioral modification in addition to following a healthy diet, getting exercise and connecting with other people..
