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 sepsis model, fish oil-based IV lipid emulsion (but not soybean or olive oil) prevented a drop in intestinal blood flow and reduced liver damage.
In laying hens, fish oil and microalgae most increased yolk DHA while flaxseed oil gave the best overall omega-6 to omega-3 balance, all without affecting egg production or hen health.
In a small trial, children with inappropriate sinus tachycardia who took omega-3 for three months showed lower heart rates and improved heart rate variability compared to untreated peers.
Teens taking a daily algae-derived omega-3 blend for 16 weeks showed better word recall and faster attention task reaction times than those on placebo.
In a 12-week trial, high-dose krill oil extract was linked to reduced arterial stiffness and changes in platelet-related markers compared to placebo in healthy adults.
A six-factor risk score (age, sex, BMI, heart failure, insulin-treated diabetes, and inflammation marker levels) moderately predicted new atrial fibrillation in patients taking a concentrated omega-3 supplement in the STRENGTH trial.
