Results from two large studies using DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid show no evidence for benefit in the studied population. The Martek trial showed a positive result on one test of memory and learning, but that study was in healthy older adults, not people with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Mixed results emphasize the need for earlier detection and intervention.
