Question: What is the optimal dose of omega 3 fatty acids for brain recovery following concussion? Also, for a vegan, does algae based omega 3s provide the same benefits?

Answer: I am not sure that there has been a rigorous study done looking at the optimal dose of Omega 3's following concussion. Many times the individual with the concussion is also undergoing other treatments that may also impact recovery. I am not sure about algae based omega 3 products but you could reach out to Michelle Sherman from Metagenics (a supplement company) at michellesherman@metagenics.com and perhaps she can find the answer to your question.
