SAMe, folate and glutathione are dietary supplement ingredients shown to help support mental health and cognition.

Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) are critical for cell membrane structure and function. Human beings have a limited ability to synthesise docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the main n-3 LCPUFA required for neurological development. Inadequate levels of n-3 LCPUFA can affect the dopaminergic system in the brain and, when combined with genetic and other factors, increase the risk of developing aggression, inattention and impulse-control disorders. In this study, male prisoners ...

March 10, 2021 -- Researchers found that RNA editing events can have large downstream effects that influence gene expression and subsequent phenotypic manifestations of that expression. RNA editing may be a previously underappreciated mechanism driving human diseases, according to an analysis published in RNA editing is a cellular process in which the sequence in mature RNA molecules is enzymatically altered from the genomic sequence. Altered levels of RNA editing have been associated with can...
