Omega-3 lowers coronary risksA Bayesian Analysis of the VITAL Trial: Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Cardiovascular Events.
We explored the impact of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on cardiovascular health through the Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial (VITAL). This comprehensive study included nearly 26,000 older adults from the U.S., who received a daily dose of 840 mg of omega-3 fatty acids.
Although we anticipated significant benefits, the results showed no overall reductions in major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants. However, our Bayesian analyses, which considered earlier research, suggested that omega-3 FA may still lower the risk of coronary events specifically.
While the evidence pointed towards limited effectiveness for stroke prevention, there seems to be a stronger case for incorporating omega-3 supplementation for reducing coronary-related issues. Overall, these findings enhance our understanding of how consistent omega-3 intake can be a valuable tool in primary prevention strategies for heart health.

Minami Nutrition provides high-quality products, such as the Algae Omega-3. This algae-based source of omega-3 is a superb replacement for fish oil. I saw improvements in my cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a healthy lifestyle, particularly vegetarians and vegans.
