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.

DHA improves milk and reduces anxiety
We explored how supplementing obese mothers with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) affects milk composition and the anxiety behavior of their offspring. In a study involving female Wistar rats, some were placed on a high-fat diet while others ate regular chow. We supplemented half of the mothers from one month before mating until they weaned their pups with DHA. The goal was to see if this supplementation could improve the quality of their milk and influence the anxiety levels of their babies.
Our findings indicated that the obese mother rats exhibited higher weight and fat levels and their milk contained less beneficial DHA but more corticosterone and leptin. Notably, their offspring showed a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the milk they consumed, which correlates to increased anxiety levels, especially in female pups. In contrast, those mothers who received DHA supplements had lower body weight and fat and produced milk with higher DHA content. Their offspring not only had a better balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids but also demonstrated reduced anxiety compared to those from mothers without supplementation.
Overall, this study highlights the significant positive impact of DHA supplementation during pregnancy and lactation in obese rats, as it not only improves the nutritional quality of their milk but also helps decrease anxiety levels in the offspring in a sex-dependent manner.

Cod liver oil reduces arthritis symptoms
In a recent study, we examined the effectiveness of cod liver oil in alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Forty-three participants took 1 gram of cod liver oil daily for three months. The results were promising.
We observed significant reductions in morning stiffness, with an impressive 52.4% improvement. Additionally, patients reported a 42.7% decrease in painful joints and a 40% reduction in swollen joints. Pain intensity also saw a notable decline of 67.5%.
When asked about their experience, 68% of patients rated the treatment as "good" or "very good" in terms of effectiveness, and an impressive 95% found it tolerable. While some patients reported nonsevere side effects, three of those reactions might have been linked to the cod liver oil.
Overall, we find that cod liver oil could be a beneficial addition to treatment options for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

Pain reduction and REM sleep and loving it!!!! Thanks to two work accidents, I have several disabling health issues, including fibromyalgia and arthritis, preventing me from sleeping. My rheumatologist suggested I try fish oil capsules for inflammation—1000mg three times a day. I found these on Amazon, cheaper than local stores. They are brilliant! After around two weeks, I now enjoy 4-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep several nights a week and even REM sleep—a true blessing. My joint pain has significantly diminished, as well as my pain-induced brain fog. I've been recommending these to others due to my success and the oil source's safety.

We set out to investigate how hypothyroidism affects cognitive function and whether omega-3 could provide a helpful boost in adult male rats. The study involved thirty rats, split into three groups: one as a control, another experiencing hypothyroidism, and the last group receiving omega-3 treatment.
The findings were quite striking. Rats with induced hypothyroidism showed significant memory problems, including difficulties in spatial learning and retention in various tests. These deficits were accompanied by lower levels of important brain chemicals and noticeable structural damage in the hippocampus, a key area for memory.
However, when we provided omega-3 supplements to one group, there was a remarkable turnaround. Those rats not only saw improvements in their memory but also regained some brain health. Omega-3 helped boost antioxidant levels, lessen structural issues in the brain, and reduce the expression of a protein linked to these damages.
All in all, our research suggests that omega-3 may serve as a protective ally against the cognitive challenges posed by hypothyroidism. This offers an exciting avenue for potential treatments that could benefit not just rats but perhaps humans facing similar hormonal challenges.

We examined how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a key ingredient found in fish oil, impacts chest pain in patients with variant angina. Our study followed 22 individuals with this condition, where we infused acetylcholine, a substance known to cause coronary vasospasm, both before and after a four-month course of EPA treatment (1.8 g/day for 12 patients).
In the group that did not receive EPA, we observed no changes in how their coronary arteries responded to acetylcholine over time. However, for those treated with EPA, the results were quite intriguing. In non-spastic areas, the response shifted from vasoconstriction (narrowing) to vasodilation (widening). This indicates a notable improvement in how these arteries are functioning.
Yet, when it came to spastic sites where vasospasm had occurred, the coronary arteries remained responsive to acetylcholine, and the vasospasm persisted despite the EPA treatment. Thus, while EPA enhanced coronary responsiveness in some areas, it did not eliminate the acetylcholine-induced coronary vasospasms associated with variant angina.

We explored the potential benefits of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an essential fatty acid, in treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A female patient with a six-year history of persistent CFS symptoms participated in the study, receiving a daily supplement rich in EPA.
After measuring her brain structure through high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging both at the beginning and 16 weeks later, we observed significant improvements in her symptoms starting just six to eight weeks into the treatment. Most notably, the patient's lateral ventricular volume—a key indicator of brain health—decreased from 28,940 mm³ to 23,660 mm³, indicating structural changes in her brain.
This research hints at the promising role of EPA in alleviating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome while also suggesting positive brain changes associated with treatment. The findings encourage further investigation into fatty acid supplementation's potential as an effective therapeutic strategy for CFS.

We investigated how the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) impacts the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in 350 patients undergoing sleep studies. Our study aimed to determine if there is a relationship between the levels of DHA in red blood cells (RBC) and the severity of sleep apnea, categorized as none/mild, moderate, or severe based on apnea hypopnea index (AHI) scores.
Our findings revealed that lower levels of DHA are linked to more severe cases of OSA. For each standard deviation increase in DHA, patients were about 50% less likely to be classified in the severe apnea category. Specifically, we noted decreased odds of falling into the severe OSA group when DHA levels were higher, suggesting that DHA may play an important role in the severity of this condition.
These insights imply that maintaining healthy DHA levels could potentially influence OSA severity and could aid in developing treatment strategies. We believe that future research should explore the potential benefits of DHA supplementation for those suffering from sleep apnea.

We uncovered intriguing insights into how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and its metabolite, 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (12-HEPE), play a role in managing allergic responses, particularly in the skin. Our study revealed that when mice consumed an omega-3 fatty acid-rich diet, 12-HEPE became a significant metabolite in their skin.
Interestingly, we observed that the enzymes responsible for producing 12-HEPE were more active in the skin compared to other organs. This effective metabolite appeared to reduce inflammation caused by contact hypersensitivity. Specifically, we found that applying 12-HEPE topically limited the influx of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell involved in inflammatory responses.
Taking our research a step further, we investigated the effects of 12-HEPE on human skin cells, or keratinocytes, in lab conditions. Our findings showed that 12-HEPE inhibited two specific genes that cause neutrophils to be attracted to the site of inflammation, showcasing its potential as a therapeutic agent for allergy management. Overall, we identified 12-HEPE as a potent metabolite in the skin, suggesting that dietary omega-3 fatty acids could be a beneficial strategy in controlling allergic reactions.

Fish oil improves knee function
We explored how fish oil, rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can impact knee pain, particularly for those suffering from osteoarthritis. In our study, we involved 75 participants, divided into three groups, each taking either 1,000 mg or 2,000 mg of fish oil daily for eight weeks. We carefully measured their knee pain and walking abilities before and after the supplementation.
The results were encouraging. Those who took fish oil reported notable improvements in knee performance and function compared to a control group. On a satisfaction scale, the average score was an impressive 9.06 out of 10! While most participants experienced the benefits of fish oil without complications, there was one case of hematuria that was unrelated to the treatment.
Overall, our findings suggest that taking 1,000 to 2,000 mg of fish oil daily can significantly enhance knee performance and is safe for individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. However, it’s worth noting that increasing the dose beyond 1,000 mg didn't yield greater benefits.

We aimed to understand how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) affects psoriasis, a skin condition known for causing redness, irritation, and thickened skin. By creating skin models that reflect both healthy and psoriatic conditions, we were able to assess the impact of EPA directly on lipid profiles—a key factor in skin health.
Our research revealed that in psoriatic skin models, there was a notable increase in certain fatty acids linked to inflammation, such as arachidonic acid (AA) and linoleic acid (LA). However, when we supplemented the media with EPA, we noticed a significant shift. The levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), rose in both epidermal and dermal tissues.
More importantly, the addition of EPA helped to balance the production of lipid mediators in the skin. We observed increases in several anti-inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandin E (PGE) and 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (12-HEPE), indicating a move toward a more stable and healthier skin environment. These results suggest that EPA could play an important role in managing psoriasis by promoting a healthier lipid balance in the skin, potentially easing symptoms and encouraging skin healing.

Cod liver oil shows potential benefits
We explored the impact of cod liver oil on cardiovascular health, particularly its influence on heart disease processes. While marine fish consumption offers some benefits, high doses of fish oil can raise certain cholesterol levels and potentially increase risks.
In our study, we observed that when swine were given an atherogenic diet along with cod liver oil, important reductions in harmful monocyte adhesions and platelet clumping occurred. This suggests that fish oil may help improve blood flow and could be less risky than previously thought.
However, while promising, these effects from cod liver oil need more investigation to clarify their relevance in humans.

We explored the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cadmium (Cd) exposure, a common pollutant that risks human health through the food chain. Our investigation focused on how DHA might help mitigate the harmful effects of Cd, particularly by looking at changes in gut microbiota.
The study involved examining mice that had been exposed to cadmium. We observed that DHA significantly boosted the amount of cadmium expelled in feces while reducing the levels of cadmium accumulated in various organs. Our findings highlighted a particularly encouraging increase in Parabacteroides, a beneficial bacteria in the gut that appeared to play a crucial role in this process.
We noted that the representative strain of Parabacteroides not only demonstrated the ability to reduce Cd toxicity but also helped repair gut damage inflicted by cadmium exposure. Furthermore, DHA effectively reduced cadmium levels in organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to a noticeable increase in cadmium excretion.
Overall, our results suggest that DHA may have significant potential in promoting the excretion of cadmium in instances of exposure. This insight offers a fascinating avenue for considering DHA as a supportive treatment option for handling heavy metal toxicity.

Participants took AlmegaPL capsules, which contain high amounts of EPA and are free of the other omega-3 fatty acid, DHA. This setup allowed us to gain insights from those who are already incorporating EPA into their diets.
Throughout the study, we monitored key health markers such as triglycerides, total cholesterol, and various types of cholesterol at different stages of supplementation. We observed that after six months of taking this supplement, participants showed a significant reduction in remnant cholesterol and maintained healthy triglyceride levels. Notably, this decrease in cholesterol did not come at the expense of raising low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, which is often a concern with other treatments.
These encouraging results reveal that EPA can be a beneficial addition for individuals looking to manage their cholesterol levels effectively. Importantly, our findings highlight AlmegaPL's unique position as a natural, over-the-counter option for those seeking to improve their lipid profiles.

We observed that acne is a common skin condition, particularly affecting individuals under 30. Our exploration into the role of diet revealed that nutrition significantly influences acne development. Among the various dietary components, omega-3 fatty acids stood out due to their potential anti-inflammatory properties.
The research indicates that foods rich in omega-3 can help reduce the production of inflammatory substances that may contribute to acne. Additionally, specific fatty acids, such as docosapentaenoic acid and γ-linolenic acid, have shown promise in improving acne lesions.
By integrating omega-3 into the diet, we might be able to mitigate some of the troublesome symptoms associated with acne. While the evidence is still unfolding, the link between omega-3 fatty acids and reduced acne severity offers a hopeful avenue worth considering for those battling breakouts.

I adore this cod liver oil. I usually take four a day for my skin, but it likely offers numerous other health benefits. I suffer from quite severe acne, and when I take this supplement, my skin becomes very supple, and my breakouts decrease dramatically.

We investigated the potential of DHA-enriched phosphatidylserine (DHA-PS) in addressing liver injuries caused by cyclophosphamide in mice. By administering cyclophosphamide over five days, we created a model to simulate this liver damage. Following this, we treated the mice with different doses of DHA-PS for a week to see if it could help heal their livers.
Our findings were quite promising. The mice receiving DHA-PS experienced significant improvements in key liver health indicators, including reduced inflammation and oxidative stress. Through advanced analysis, we discovered that DHA-PS helped correct metabolic imbalances caused by cyclophosphamide, which is a crucial aspect of liver recovery.
Additionally, we observed that DHA-PS has a positive impact on the gut-liver axis. This treatment restored the intestinal barrier, reduced harmful compounds in the bloodstream, and improved overall gut microbiota health. By balancing the gut bacteria, we enhanced the overall health of the mice.
Overall, the results suggest that DHA-PS could be a valuable therapeutic option or functional food for combating liver injuries related to cyclophosphamide. This study highlights the potential benefits of DHA on liver health and underscores the importance of the gut-liver connection.

Wonderful for asthma! My 6-year-old daughter has suffered from asthma, with constant coughing and severe attacks. After trying numerous medications with little relief, I introduced cod liver oil upon my mother's suggestion. Within two weeks, she was nearly symptom-free. Several months later, she remains significantly better, experiencing only a few flare-ups. I appreciate Nordic Naturals for their high processing standards, ensuring the product is safe for children without excess vitamins D and A.
