DHA supplement study for older adults with mild memory concerns
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a DHA (omega-3) supplement can improve delivery of certain brain fats in older adults who have mild memory concerns. It involves taking a daily supplement and may include a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
