Presentation Description:
In our post-pandemic world, consumers are increasingly proactive in managing their health. But busy lifestyles and unprecedented global, political, and economic challenges are having a negative impact on our collective well-being – rising levels of consumer stress and anxiety are highlighting a crucial need for nutritional solutions that support cognitive wellness: cognitive health and emotional well-being.
For many consumers, Omega-3, especially DHA, is synonymous with cognitive health. Yet, plant-based sources, like algae, remain lesser-known for their benefits.

We will discuss emerging science highlighting the importance of Omega-3 in everyday life and its role in anxiety, stress, sleep & mood.
