Adults aged 18-25 who took 750 mg of DHA per day for six months had significant improvement in memory. This study is interesting because it is taking individuals with good memory and actually making it better. It is the use of nutrition to help optimize intelligence.
Interestingly, those with the highest blood levels of DHA at the start of the study had the best memory in the first place.
“Before seeing this data, I would have said it was impossible to move young healthy individuals above their cognitive best,” said Bita Moghaddam, project investigator and professor of neuroscience. “We found that members of this population can enhance their working memory performance even further, despite their already being at the top of their cognitive game.”
DHA is the most lacking fatty acid in the human diet and is the one that is the most important for brain health at all ages. DHA helps your mind work better – even at a younger age.
