A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In a mouse model, an omega-3 fatty acid helped restore gut barrier function and reduce ovarian inflammation linked to PCOS-like symptoms.
In a Her-2 breast cancer mouse model, an omega-3 rich diet led to 55% smaller and 42% lighter tumors compared to an omega-6 rich diet, while exercise effects varied by diet type.
This review compiles clinical research suggesting omega-3 fatty acids may support anti-inflammatory processes in neurodegenerative diseases, while omega-6 fats show more mixed effects.
In a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, omega-3 fatty acids reduced motor and brain damage, partly by boosting protective immune cells in the gut.
In mice, DHA-enriched phosphatidylserine reduced liver damage and gut microbiome disruption caused by nanoplastic exposure.
This review explains how omega-3 fats like EPA and DHA interact with immune cell membranes and gene pathways to help regulate inflammation, though large cardiovascular trials show mixed real-world results.
