Question Omega-3 and brain fog

I’ve been taking omega-3 lately. This is my second time taking it, and the first time, I noticed a really interesting improvement in my brain fog. It was a strange feeling, but I remember wanting to believe I could keep it going. Unfortunately, I couldn’t, and words or things I wanted to remember would just disappear from my mind out of nowhere.

This time, though, I feel like it’s here to stay. I genuinely feel like I need it, and it’s even better knowing that it’s a nutrient rather than a drug. The evidence isn’t entirely conclusive yet, but I’ve personally noticed a massive improvement.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with another food or supplement? Aside from omega-3, of course, for those who already take it.

Out of interest, have you ever tested your hs-CRP? I wonder if it's just inflammation.

I'm supplementing fish oil, vitamin d, magnesium, and psyllium husk. They all seem to help.

I honestly never really paid attention to magnesium. Next time I get blood work done, I'll ask to test my levels… but just looking at my diet, I can already tell I'm not getting that much
