A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In mice, DHA- and EPA-enriched phospholipids protected the intestinal barrier from toxin-induced damage through a sirtuin 1-dependent pathway.
In a mouse model, an omega-3 fatty acid helped restore gut barrier function and reduce ovarian inflammation linked to PCOS-like symptoms.
Patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 had significantly lower Omega-3 Index levels than those with mild illness.
People with higher blood DHA (omega-3) levels had lower rates of testing positive for and being hospitalized with COVID-19 in a large UK population study.
A review of 18 studies found lower omega-3 levels were often linked to more severe COVID-19 and higher mortality, though findings on high fatty acid levels in critical illness were mixed.
In a meta-analysis of six trials, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was linked to lower overall mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, though evidence certainty was low.
