This reporting by media outlets came after the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published the study “Docosahexaenoic Acid Supplementation and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer Disease: A [...]
New research at University of California reported a link between low levels of omega-3 acids in patients due to liver’s inability to produce omega-3 with Alzheimer’s disease. Daniele Piomelli and her team examined liver tissue from both Alzheimer’s and non-Alzheimer’s cadavers and found that the Alzheimer’s patients had a specific liver condition that prevented them [...]
Fish oil, when combined with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)—a polyphenol and antioxidant found in green tea, may affect chemical processes in the brain associated with Alzheimers disease, according to a study published in Neuroscience Letters.
Supplements of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, failed to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in a 402-patient clinical trial, researchers reported. “The primary implication of this study is that we are not going to be able to make a recommendation for DHA in the aggregate for people with [...]
