I hope that helps. Report back with your findings.
The fish oil/omegas are the one supplement I still try to maintain in my budget. I've used turmeric daily in much of the foods I prepare, along with curry blends to balance the flavor, e.g. in eggs, soups, stir-fry, chicken salad, tuna salad, fish, rice, etc.

When I could afford them, the Rx nootropics, I was noticeably helped by them also. My experience was likened to a fine-tuning of radio signal.

When I could afford them I used tincture of gingko biloba, which helped my mental clarity. I used to get it wholesale by the quart. The capsules, i.e. the dried herb didn't set well with my stomach.

I also used sweet basil oil, for alertness; it has a very mildly stimulant effect.
