Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA/EPA) untuk Age-Related Cognitive Decline

A systematic review of 58 studies found each 2,000 mg/day of omega-3 showed significant improvements in attention, perceptual speed, language, and primary memory. Research suggests a non-linear dose-response with optimal effects at moderate doses under 1,700 mg/day.
