Fish oil for memory problems in adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking fish oil can improve memory and thinking in adults who are obese and have mild cognitive impairment. If it works, it could offer a simple way to help protect the brain in people with weight-related health issues.

This trial studies a non-medication (non-drug) program to improve memory and daily thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by supporting brain function and monitoring symptoms over time.
This study tests whether a special drink containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a type of fat) and B vitamins can help support memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You would take the drink daily for 18 months and have regular check-ins including memory tests.
This study looks at how omega-3 supplements affect certain fats in the blood of adults with obesity. Researchers want to see if taking these supplements changes these fats in a helpful way.
