We embarked on a study to find out how dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) could help children suffering from atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema. In a randomized triple-blind clinical trial, 48 children with this condition were divided into two groups—one received 250 mg of EPA twice daily, while the other received a placebo for four weeks.
Our observations showed noticeable improvements in those who took EPA. After just two weeks, participants in the EPA group reported a reduction in their SCORAD scores, which are used to measure the severity of atopic dermatitis. The scores went down significantly compared to the placebo group. After four weeks, the number of children needing corticosteroids to manage their symptoms was also lower in the EPA group.
Despite these positive results, both groups reported few adverse effects, indicating that EPA supplementation is generally well-received. Overall, we conclude that adding EPA to the diet may be an effective and safe strategy for reducing eczema severity in children.

I didn't realise just HOW good this is! I usually don't write reviews, but I had to for this. I originally bought this product for my pregnancy after thorough research. While I expected benefits for myself and my baby, after 2-3 weeks, the severe eczema on my face and neck disappeared completely. My skin became clear, smooth, and hydrated, a look I hadn't seen for years! I struggled with eczema for five years, trying an $180 cream that eventually stopped working. I discovered that fish oil is significantly more effective on eczema than any prescription cream. This was initially for my pregnancy, but I intend to use it for life!

We discovered that a diet enriched with omega-3 fatty acids can effectively reduce symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in mice. This reduction occurred without influencing the typical immune responses usually associated with allergies. Instead, omega-3s worked by changing the lipid molecules linked to inflammation.
Notably, these fatty acids completely suppressed itching near the eyes and significantly decreased the presence of eosinophils, cells commonly involved in allergic reactions. However, total serum IgE levels and T2 cytokine expression remained unchanged, suggesting that omega-3s tackle AC symptoms in a unique way.

We focused on how Resolvin D1 (RvD1), a pro-resolving lipid, impacts systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our study measured RvD1 levels and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell counts in SLE patients versus healthy individuals.
We found that higher RvD1 levels correlated with lower disease activity and fewer Tfh cells. RvD1 was effective in reducing Tfh cell activity in a mouse model and inhibited Tfh differentiation in lab tests.
Overall, RvD1 appears to play a significant role in managing SLE by suppressing Tfh cells and influencing immune responses.

This is my favourite so far. I received two cans and found the price quite reasonable for 120 capsules, lasting two months. I experienced a slight citrus burp instead of the usual fishy aftertaste, which is a plus. My hair and nails improved significantly, and it helped alleviate post-COVID depression. The capsules are large but easy to swallow.

We conducted a study to see if omega-3 fatty acids could help people with major depressive disorder as a standalone treatment. Over 12 weeks, 60 participants took either omega-3 supplements or a placebo.
Results showed that those taking omega-3 had lower depression scores at various points throughout the study. While there were hints of improved outcomes in terms of remission and response rates, these weren't statistically significant.
Overall, omega-3 fatty acids could be a promising alternative, but further research is necessary to confirm their effectiveness.

This product is my favourite so far. With two cans and following the instructions to take 2 capsules daily, it lasts for exactly two months, making it quite affordable. I experienced a slight burp, but it was citrus rather than the fishy taste common with many others, which is definitely a plus. After taking it, I noticed that my quality of life improved, with my hair and nails getting better. Following covid, I had a slight depression and a depressed state, but this omega resolved those issues effectively. The capsules are large, straw-yellow, and easy to swallow.

We analyzed various trials to see how omega-3 fish oil affects rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our research included 18 randomized controlled studies with 1,018 RA patients. The results showed omega-3 supplementation significantly increased beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA, and reduced triglycerides and tender joint count.
However, it didn't lead to significant changes in some inflammation markers and overall disease activity. While there are positive outcomes regarding certain symptoms, we found no remarkable evidence for its effectiveness in reducing inflammation levels.

Thanks to Nordic Naturals for such a fantastic product. This fish oil is in Triglyceride Form, which my body quickly accepts. Other brands mostly use the Ethyl Ester form, which takes longer to convert and can waste some of the omega-3 fatty acids. The TG form helps to lower bad cholesterol levels effectively without wasting nutrients, making it worthwhile despite the slightly higher price. I highly recommend Nordic Naturals or any reputable TG fish oil brand with the necessary certifications.

Omega-3s' mixed effects on heart health
We examined the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, often found in fish oil, on heart attack risks, particularly in patients with high triglyceride levels. The studies indicate that while omega-3s can effectively lower triglycerides and reduce certain cardiovascular disease outcomes, including fatal heart attacks, their overall benefit remains debated. Despite extensive research demonstrating some positive outcomes, many experts still question the magnitude of their effects on heart attack prevention. Improved guidance on omega-3 supplementation is still evolving as new evidence emerges.

Eicosapentaenoic acid benefits hypertension
We investigated the impact of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on hypertension, a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure that can lead to serious health issues. The study focused on a special compound called 5,6-diHETE lactone (EPA-L), derived from EPA, which we observed to promote better blood vessel function. This compound was tested on hypertensive rats and showed a significant reduction in blood pressure.
Interestingly, we found that the way EPA-L works isn’t through increasing levels of nitric oxide like some may expect. Instead, we discovered that it triggers a unique signaling pathway involving G-protein-coupled receptors. This pathway activates key cellular processes in the endothelial cells lining our blood vessels, allowing them to relax and dilate, thereby contributing to lower blood pressure. In vitro experiments on human endothelial cells confirmed these findings, providing further evidence for the effectiveness of EPA-L.
Overall, our research positions EPA-L as a promising metabolite from eicosapentaenoic acid, demonstrating potential benefits in managing hypertension and promoting vascular health.

Promising results for fish oil
We investigated the impact of dietary fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, on hydroa vacciniforme, a challenging photosensitivity disorder. Three boys with the condition took five capsules of MaxEPA daily for three months. During follow-up tests, we observed that all boys had lower sensitivity to UVA light, indicating a positive response to the treatment.
While one child demonstrated a significant improvement, another showed mild progress, and the third did not improve but later responded well to another medication. Overall, fish oil may reduce UV sensitivity and improve rash outcomes for some patients.

We conducted a double-blind randomized controlled trial to understand how prenatal supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) might influence infant health, particularly concerning the common cold. Pregnant women were given either a daily dose of 400 mg of DHA or a placebo starting at 18 to 22 weeks of gestation until childbirth.
Caregivers then reported on their infants’ health at 1, 3, and 6 months, sharing details about common illness symptoms. We found that DHA supplementation appeared to reduce the number of colds at one month and also seemed to lessen the duration of various cold symptoms in infants. Specifically, infants in the DHA group experienced fewer cold symptoms and had shorter durations of cough and wheezing.
While the overall occurrence of specific illness symptoms was similar between the DHA and placebo groups, DHA did bring about noteworthy benefits. At 1 month, infants in the DHA group had a 26% shorter duration of cough and 30% shorter wheezing; however, they experienced a longer duration of rash.
Furthermore, by the time the infants reached 3 months, those whose mothers took DHA were ill for 14% less time overall. At 6 months, the DHA group showed significantly reduced durations of several illness indicators, although they did experience longer episodes of vomiting.
This study suggests that prenatal DHA not only seems to impact the occurrence of colds in children but may also play a role in the duration of symptoms over the first half-year of life.

For individuals already diagnosed with HF, elevated omega-3 levels corresponded to about a 50% reduction in the risk of overall and cardiovascular mortality. These results suggest that boosting omega-3 intake through diet or supplements may help prevent HF and increase longevity for those already facing heart challenges.

Great product! I really like these ultimate omega-3 supplements. Initially, I was hesitant due to previous reactions with other natural supplements. However, I've had no adverse reactions, and I feel great. I've been taking them for over a month, primarily for my heart, despite not having any diagnosis. They boost my energy and also assist my joints. I previously battled tendonitis and wrist pain, but now, after taking these, I have virtually no pain, only occasionally when turning my wrist awkwardly. I no longer need to wear a brace for my hand and wrist. I've purchased a second bottle in a larger quantity because I will continue to use these. I appreciate that the product's purity can be verified online through independent testing from wild-caught fish oil.

We examined the relationship between docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and osteoporosis using a method called 2-sample Mendelian randomization. This approach allowed us to investigate if higher levels of DHA could be a risk factor for osteoporosis.
Our findings revealed a causal tie: increased blood levels of DHA were indeed linked to a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. Specifically, for each standard deviation increase in DHA levels, the risk for osteoporosis rose by nearly 10%. We found this connection to be statistically significant, with a P-value of 0.033.
However, it's important to point out that the genetic correlation between DHA and osteoporosis was weak, suggesting that this relationship might not be heavily influenced by our genes. While these results indicate that DHA levels are a risk factor for osteoporosis, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

We examined the effects of omega-3 supplementation on rheumatoid arthritis through a meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials involving over 1,000 patients.
Our findings showed that omega-3 increased beneficial fatty acids and decreased triglyceride levels and tender joint counts.
However, while there were some reductions in inflammation markers, these changes weren't statistically significant, suggesting that omega-3 might not drastically alter disease activity overall.

We investigated how omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, affect sleep quality in adults aged 45 and older. Our study involved 66 healthy participants and employed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design for 12 weeks.
Participants in the DHA/EPA group showed significant improvements in sleep quality metrics, including less frequent dreaming and better sleep efficiency compared to those taking a placebo. This is notable as it provides new insights about the beneficial effects of omega-3s on sleep in an older demographic.

This omega 3 fish oil supplement is of the best quality, in triglyceride form for better absorption. It aids in achieving deep, refreshing sleep without side effects. It also reduces inflammation and lowers cortisol levels, thus managing anxiety and stress effectively. Just one soft gel daily suffices, and I highly recommend giving it a try for its calming effects and benefits on sleep.

We examined how omega-3 fish oil relates to gut health in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). This involved studying 38 individuals who started a low-FODMAP diet for 12 weeks.
Initially, those with a compromised gut barrier displayed lower omega-3 levels. Post-diet, improvements were noted, with higher omega-3 levels and better gut function. This suggests that omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in enhancing gut integrity and may aid in managing IBS-D symptoms.

Eicosapentaenoic acid alleviates back pain
We explored how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) might help in treating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a major contributor to back pain. Research highlights that this condition often involves endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM), key processes that worsen IDD. Our investigation demonstrated that EPA can promote autophagy, a process that helps cells clean up and maintain balance within the ECM.
Through our experiments, we treated nucleus pulposus cells—cells in the discs that often suffer from degeneration—with EPA. We observed that EPA not only boosted autophagy but also suppressed the harmful effects of ER stress, reducing cell death and limiting ECM degradation. Additionally, we utilized a rat model of IDD to see if these protective effects translated into a real-world setting. The findings indicated that EPA improved the health of the discs and effectively slowed down the progression of IDD in these rats.
In summary, this research highlights the potential of EPA as a therapeutic option for managing back pain related to disc degeneration. Our results suggest that EPA could play an important role in supporting the health of intervertebral discs and mitigating some of the common issues associated with chronic back pain.

We examined the effects of a 6-month supplementation of omega 3 and 6, along with antioxidants, on women's hair loss. In this randomized study involving 120 healthy participants, improvements in hair density were objectively measured through photographs.
The results showed significant reductions in hair loss, with 89.9% of women reporting decreased loss and improved hair thickness and density. This suggests omega 3 and 6 can be effective allies against hair loss in women, as confirmed by both objective measurements and personal experiences.

We conducted a comprehensive trial to understand how different types of omega-3 fatty acids affect cholesterol levels and inflammation in adults struggling with high cholesterol.
Over 12 weeks, participants took various doses of omega-3s, including EPA and DHA, revealing notable benefits. Those receiving higher doses of EPA and DHA saw their triglycerides drop significantly—by up to 15.78%—compared to controls.
Interestingly, ALA supplementation did not lead to improvements in cholesterol or inflammation status, highlighting the superior role of EPA and DHA in managing these health issues.

Best Omega-3s I've taken for years. The eye strain headaches I used to experience have vanished, and my dry skin rashes have significantly improved. My eye doctor has even noted that my eyes are well lubricated for my age (60 years). If I could only choose one supplement, this would be it, although Cherry Extract capsules come a close second.

We aimed to see how omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil could ease nausea and other symptoms in patients with advanced lung cancer suffering from Systemic Immune-Metabolic Syndrome (SIMS). The study involved a small group of patients divided into treatment groups, some receiving fish oil and others a combination of fish oil with celecoxib.
After six weeks, we noted improvements in appetite, fatigue, and lower inflammation markers in both fish oil groups. Interestingly, those who received fish oil alongside celecoxib showed even greater benefits in weight gain and muscle strength. These findings suggest that fish oil may help manage certain symptoms associated with nausea but not specifically reduce it alone.

We investigated the role of resolvin D1 (RvD1) in protecting esophageal epithelial cells from damage caused by acid reflux. Through exposure tests, we found that RvD1 could effectively block oxidative stress and DNA damage linked to acid exposure.
Notably, RvD1 not only reduced harmful reactive oxygen species but also enhanced the cell's ability to repair DNA damage, signaling a promising potential for treatment in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, we need more studies to confirm its benefits in clinical settings.
