I knew this would be a thread about models!

All we need now are the “models” that the National Weather Service uses...

Gotta love FR-so predictable! Or have I just been here too long??

No idea, but speaking about DHA in general terms, I have noticed a much improved level of concentration since I began taking it (along with multivitamins) with a good breakfast every day.

I’m 53 now and have always had a problem with concentrating on tasks for more than 30 minutes at a time. Much less of a problem these days. How much is due to better diet, the DHA or the vitamins is anyone’s guess. But I’m happy with the stuff.
