Hi Flori
I've heard about this stuff, but as usual, what I read was too confusing for me. I got the drift that there was some debate over it being released as a drug or as a food supplement. It hasn't been tested long enough on people to be a drug. I read something that if it ever comes out it will have to get a new name, something like Bio Bran, because the mgn-3 name is getting a bad rap in the media (maybe because people are looking for a magic bullet).
