Researchers have opined that healthy people with memory complaints and those with Alzheimer's disease both tend to have low levels of the omega-3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
In one study, 485 otherwise healthy adults aged at least 55, with impaired memory, took 900 mg of DHA per day or a placebo.
After six months, while the placebo group had not improved, those who had taken DHA had better memory and learning compared to the start of the study and made fewer errors on memory and learning tests compared to the placebo group.
Researchers also found that DHA levels had doubled in the DHA group, and memory improved as DHA levels increased.
