Description
Mahi Basra and three co-authors review trials of fatty acid pills for people with Alzheimer's disease, in a 2025 conference paper. Fats help steer the disease process. When fat balance slips, it can harm the blood-brain barrier, the coat on nerve fibers, and cell signals.
The team searched three databases for studies from 2015 to 2023 and kept only trials and like work in people. Of nearly four hundred papers, five met the rules. The pills tested were fish oil, two named omega-3 fats, a type of fast burn fat, and a mixed nutrient drink. One small fish oil trial over a year lowered a mark of cell damage. The authors say the proof is still thin and mixed.
