... healthy young adults ages 18-25 can improve their working memory even further by increasing their Omega-3 fatty acid intake.

"Before seeing this data, I would have said it was impossible to move young healthy individuals above their cognitive best," said Bita Moghaddam, project investigator and professor of neuroscience.

Yes I take this supplement.

Thanks for the article Ruth.

Since I started using supplements, including Omega-3, a few months ago I've noticed a real gain in my ability to remember things. I thought I had a good memory before, but I almost never forget anything now.

That is good to hear Jonathan. Supplements can really help. I'm happy that they are working for you and you feel better.
