Pilot Study: Lipoic Acid and Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Alzheimer's Prevention

The primary aim is to collect data so that we can determine effect size between lipoic acid plus omega-3 fatty acids and placebo on the primary outcome measure Trails B (executive function). This is designed as a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a 12 month intervention period. Thirty participants diagnosed with hypertension that is treated (systolic blood pressure 90-160 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure 60-90 mm Hg) that have low omega-3 fatty acid levels, and normal cognitive function will be randomized to receive study drug or placebo.
