The effects of omega‐3, DHA, EPA, Souvenaid® in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3‐PUFA) are essential to normal neural development and function. Souvenaid®, a medical supplement that contains n‐3‐PUFA's: eicosatetraenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has emerged as an alternative, slowing cognitive decline in AD patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with n‐3‐PUFA, EPA, DHA, and Souvenaid® in AD patients.
