what the evidence says
For cognition, omega-3 evidence is honest but nuanced: DHA is a core structural fat of the brain, observational data link higher omega-3 status to better cognitive aging, and trials show clearest benefit in people who start with low fish intake, with mixed results elsewhere. As a foundation it outranks nearly every marketed nootropic; as a quick sharpener it does nothing.
Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
