Nutrition and the Brain

Please note: although open to all, this event is intended for nutrition professionals.

Balancing the science behind how nutrients are used by your brain with the reality of getting them from your diet, the event will cover 3 topics, followed by an audience Q&A:

1. What your brain (really) needs
2. And.. how to get it
3. Bringing it all together—optimising your brain performance and mental health
4. Q&A with Sophie and Tara (30 minutes)

Do you outsource the manufacturing of your supplement?

Regarding Omega-3s... why isn't cod-liver-oil a good source of EPA/DHA? Doesn't it have as much of it as other parts of the fish... and/or as much as other fish types (anchovies, mackerel, etc)?
