DHA reduces infant cold symptoms
Prenatal docosahexaenoic acid supplementation and infant morbidity: randomized controlled trial.
Highly relevant study results
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.

Essential for health
At 46, I've taken Omega-3 for about five years but took a break for three months, leading to heart issues and skin dryness. After resuming, I feel revitalised. Omega-3 regulates cholesterol, and the capsules are easy to swallow—no unpleasant taste.

Improved immunity
I am very pleased with Omega! Since September 2018, my health has improved, with fewer ailments and increased energy. I haven’t had any colds this winter, even during the season. My child takes the liquid form, which supports their immunity superbly!

High quality Omega
I prefer the Omega with EPA 800 and DHA 600, which comes from deep-sea cold-water fish. Although it's not the cheapest option, the quality is outstanding. I wish it were always in stock, but it’s an excellent choice for general health.

Supports immunity
I previously purchased a domestically produced brand without noticing any significant benefits. Now, I take this for immune support and to improve the skin quality on my face and body, and it works well for colds in my family. I chose this brand as it had the highest ratings on the site.

Reduces colds
I’ve been taking the same fish oil for over 10 years and haven’t had colds, which used to include swollen tonsils every season. Along with vitamin C and other supplements, fish oil has improved my blood tests and overall health significantly, without a fishy smell.
