Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
supplementOmega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain and heart health.
Reported Benefits
Docosahexaenoic acid-rich fish oil modulates the cerebral hemodynamic response to cognitive tasks in healthy young adults.
Not specified in review
Fish oil supplementation improved executive functions and memory in healthy young participants with increased EPA/DHA in erythrocyte membranes.
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA: health benefits throughout life.
Swanson D, Block R, Mousa SA
In healthy humans, EPA+DHA intake altered gene expression to reduce inflammatory pathways and lowered high-sensitivity CRP by 66.7% in a study of 89 participants.
Freund-Levi et al. Omega AD study
Freund-Levi Y, et al.
In a subgroup of 32 very mild cognitive dysfunction healthy elderly, DHA 1.7g/d + EPA 0.6g/d significantly reduced MMSE cognitive decline rate at 6 months compared to placebo.
Fish oil supplementation improves executive function in healthy adults with low DHA
Witte AV, et al.
Six months of fish oil improved executive function in healthy participants with low baseline DHA levels, with >95% compliance and increased red blood cell EPA/DHA.
Effects of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Brain Functions: A Systematic Review
Dighriri IM, et al.
Omega-3 supplementation improved executive function by 26% in healthy participants, increased brain blood flow and oxyhemoglobin levels during tasks, and enhanced cognitive performance particularly with EPA.
