If you care about brain health, the form of omega-3 matters as much as the dose.
Standard DHA largely ends up stored in fat tissue, while lysophosphatidylcholine-bound DHA is preferentially transported into the brain via a dedicated transporter. Same dose. Completely different destination.
This is one big and underappreciated reason why “omega-3” isn’t one thing — and why choosing the wrong form can miss the target entirely.
