Omega 3

Just found out that because I have the APOE 4 (just 1) gene, the omega 3 supplements (bare biology 1700mg) I've been taking daily isn't making it across the blood brain barrier because the DHA/EPA is attached to triglycerides 🤦🏻. So, good for my heart, but not helping my brain.

Apparently, I need my omega 3 to be attached to phospholipids instead, which means herring roe extract or krill. Krill seems to have much smaller dose of dha Epa in it and herring roe (caviar) extract doesn't seem to be widely available here in the UK?

Have other people managed to get around this?
