Source, please?

Not that I doubt you! But I’d like to show proof to others who will (they’d poo-poo “Ex-Lax treats constipation” while sitting on the throne!).

Here is a nih study:

The US Army invests significant time and money in training its leaders. Individuals who choose the Army Infantry as their career expend significant time, energy, and commitment to self-development to achieve their career goals. Omega-3 HUFAs, specifically DHA are concentrated in neural tissues, are essential for neural function [2], and must be obtained from dietary sources. US food production practices over the last century have resulted in a dramatic change in the fatty acid profile of the US diet. At the same time, evidence continues to build regarding the potential importance of omega-3 HUFAs on emotional state, cognitive function and mental health. US military personnel frequently have low omega-3 HUFA status [53]. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether supplementation with omega-3 HUFAs from a krill oil concentrate (PL), with its possible advantages in bioavailability and high amount of PC, will improve emotional status and related cognitive performance under stress among IBOLC students (Phase I) and subsequent RC (Phase II). More broadly, approximately 35% of military spouses report stress related psychiatric illnesses [54]. A potential impact of this study would be information that would support the role for krill oil concentrate containing omega-3 HUFAs in contributing to improving mood, emotional status and cognitive performance among the US population in general [55].

Here’s a couple more links on the topic. All point to the army’s interest in omega 3’s. Some mention that the modern american diet in the last century has shifted too heavily to omega 6’s https://www.army.mil/article/172714/omega_3_study_aims_to_give_soldiers_a_cognitive_advantage
