A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
A meta-analysis of six trials found krill oil supplementation was linked to improved pain and physical function scores in people with knee osteoarthritis, with a good safety profile.
In mice, fish oil and krill oil both raised omega-3 levels but altered different liver and brain fat classes linked to inflammation pathways.
In arthritic rats, mackerel-derived fish oil lowered inflammatory markers (IL-6, MMP-9) and helped preserve joint cartilage compared to untreated animals.
A lab screen found that enzymes in cholesterol, fatty acid, and eicosanoid pathways can significantly change STING-driven immune signaling.
Mice genetically engineered to produce more omega-3 fatty acids were protected from obesity-related spinal disc degeneration and inflammation compared to normal mice on the same high-fat diet.
Two omega-3 nutraceutical blends reduced inflammatory signaling molecules, including a sharp drop in PGE2, in human immune cells exposed to a bacterial toxin in the lab.
