Omega-3 are essential constituents of cell membranes, especially in the brain. They play an essential structural role in nerve cells.
They are not made by our body but they are found in certain fatty fish, in nuts, rapeseed …
Following a study carried out by Professor François Lespérance, Head of the Department of Psychiatry at the Center Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, the effectiveness of omega-3 in patients suffering from major depression without anxiety disorders has been proven in 55% of subjects. This effectiveness is comparable to that observed with conventional antidepressants, because it should be noted that they do not have effects on all patients.
However, omega-3s do not replace conventional treatment. but are an alternative for patients who do not want to take antidepressants.
For some psychiatrists, they are rather appreciated as a food supplement and can help, in addition to the treatment, to find a healthy lifestyle just like the sport.
The investigators of this study chose “OM3emotionnel” in the treatment of major depression. This pharmaceutical quality food supplement, composed of over 90% omega-3, has no fishy aftertaste and no side effects. It has a high EPA content, with EPA playing a key role in the prevention and treatment of mood disorders.
OM3emotion is available in pharmacies and drugstores. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.
