The results of scientific research published in the American Journal of Medicine recently showed that Omega-3, a very popular functional food, is not effective in reducing the symptoms of damage. Physical and mental injuries for Alzheimer's patients.
Previously, the researchers had high expectations for the therapeutic effect of Omega-3 tablets on Alzheimer 's patients because of the fatty acids, DHA, which are compounds in the composition. " missing " in Alzheimer's patients' brains.
However, the latest test results show that there is no evidence that DHA is given to the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

In addition, psychological treatment for about 300 Alzheimer's patients including men and women, in the average age of 76 and with mild Alzheimer's symptoms, has no positive signs.
The number of patients was prescribed Omega-3 within 18 months, but the results for both groups were the same.
William Thies , director of the Alzheimer's Association of America, said that until now, many researchers still believe in the effects of Omega-3 on Alzheimer's patients.
However, the "delay" intervention effect of the above functional foods, if any, will be completely useless for this disease because people with this disease have suffered many years before being treated.
According to Dr. Thies, to treat this dangerous disease requires drugs that have a stronger effect and even need to be used regularly from the beginning.
