The key is transport. A specific form—lysophospholipid DHA (lysoDHA)—can use a dedicated brain transporter (MSFD2A). In animal studies, lysoDHA dramatically increases brain DHA, boosts BDNF (a major brain growth signal), and improves memory performance compared to conventional DHA forms that often end up in fat tissue instead. I’ll walk you through the evidence, explain why “DHA” isn’t one thing, and give an action plan: food strategies (fatty fish, roe, krill) and supplement considerations—especially if you carry ApoE4 and may break down DHA faster in the brain. We’ll also cover additional high-yield neuroprotective moves: exercise, creatine, and more. References + extra nuance are in the newsletter linked above.
