A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
A newly designed core-shell nanofiber skin patch steadily released omega-3 fatty acids over 5 days while remaining well-tolerated by skin cells in lab testing.
In an Alzheimer's mouse model, DHA supplementation improved memory performance and was linked to reduced oxidative stress and slower telomere shortening in the brain.
This narrative review suggests omega-3 fatty acids may help regulate pathways linked to age-related protein damage (AGEs) and related inflammation, though more direct clinical trials in older adults are needed.
A review of human studies found mixed but generally favorable evidence that higher omega-3 fatty acid levels are associated with longer telomeres, a marker linked to cellular aging.
In IL-10 deficient mice, omega-3 supplementation increased regulatory immune cells and reduced liver fat, but also raised markers of oxidative stress and lowered liver vitamin E levels.
This review discusses how structured forms of DHA and EPA may offer better absorption and stronger anti-inflammatory/antioxidant effects than standard omega-3s, potentially relevant to brain aging.
