So much conflicting expert/professional opinion. So much conflicting layperson opinions. Some say it works well. Others say it does nothing.

there is no food for cognition you have to learn it the hard way
But surely you need cognition to improve cognition.
you need will and intent
i dont have will and my cognition is very good but i am lack of will so its hard to achive something
you need fish oil with DHA content greater than 1000mg daily
it was in news here just recently
That’s not easy to find.
I’ve never noticed any boost from it. I also graph which days I remember to shower and when I don’t (have over a decade of data). My graph improves when I’m on sarcosine. It never improved for fish oil, not even the freakin’ expensive stuff.

I’ve heard sarcosine is good. What puts me off is supposed effect on prostate levels as I have several genotypes that put me at risk of prostate problems.
A big factor for me could be age re anything making much difference. Would be good if there was something that helped with cognition though.
Some seem to swear by epa and others by dha. It’s hard to find something that gives a high amount of both .
I agree that some of the fish oil is ‘freakin expensive’(as you put it).
You simply have to take several pills of the high concentration ones.
Then as @shutterbug says that gets ‘freakin expensive’ .
Thats $20 a month.
Unfortunately not available on Amazon UK.
Fish oil is supposed to have a number of beneficial effects. My doctor swears by it as heart medicine.

I guess if we already have enough of the product in our body … omega or whatever , consuming it isn’t gonna make a difference. I also think some of it is placebo.
there are researches that concluded it works
its not placebo
So it doesn’t work for negative symptoms!
Were focusing on cognition today…
How do we know @shutterbug wasn’t talking about cognition?
Probably like every other medicine or supplement, it depends on what’s wrong in your individual case.
Executive functioning deficits, (visuo)spatial deficits,slow processing speed.
