  • Pair omega-3 with a methylated B vitamin complex and TMG to lower homocysteine levels for optimal brain health.
  • Store omega-3 supplements properly to prevent oxidation, keeping them in a cool, dark place and avoiding long-term storage in kitchen drawers.

Supplements & Protocols Mentioned

  • Omega-3 – 1 gram per day for cognitive and heart health.
  • Methylated B vitamin complex – To support healthy homocysteine levels.
  • TMG (Trimethylglycine) – Helps lower homocysteine levels.
