May relieve inflammation and mild joint pain
Fish oil may help improve inflammation due to its ability to reduce the production of the cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β IL-6 1,2 and increase the peripheral concentration of anti-inflammatory pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)3 It is through these actions that fish oil can bring relief to those suffering with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and are experiencing mild joint pain and swelling.4
Research shows that people with joint pain noticed an improvement in their pain levels when
they took an omega-3 fish oil supplement for 2-4 months.5,6
Support heart health
Scientific evidence shows that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce blood triglyceride levels and
help improve HDL levels and thus support heart health.7,8.
Omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent arterial plaque, as well as make existing arterial plaques
more stable.9,10 Research shows that taking fish oil supplements can lead to modest reductions
in blood pressure.11
Note: research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids need to be taken for at least 6 months before cardiovascular results are noticeable.
Supports brain function and cognitive function
The human brain consists of nearly 60% fat.12 The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are
critical for normal brain function and development throughout all stages of life.
Several studies show that when pregnant women consume fish oil, their children have
higher scores on tests of intelligence and brain function in early childhood.13,14 Lower levels
of DHA have been associated with smaller brain size and with impaired cognitive function.15
Numerous clinical trials have shown that supplementing with the omega-3 fatty acid DHA
can help improve cognition in people of all ages, ranging from infants to elderly.16-18
Supports healthy foetal development
In the third trimester of pregnancy, omega-3 fatty acids are selectively transferred to the
foetus to meet the demands of rapid brain growth.19 They are essential for early growth
and development of the baby’s brain and retina of the eyes, and help improve hand-eye
coordination in infants.20-22 DHA accounts for 50-60% of the fatty acids used in the retina
of the foetus’ eye, and omega-3 fatty acids comprise approximately 15 to 30% of the foetal
brain’s dry weight.23
Studies show that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy may result
in improvements in birth weight, length, and gestational age24 and with higher IQ scores at
4 years of age.25
