DHA promotes cadmium excretion
Docosahexaenoic Acid Promotes Cd Excretion by Restoring the Abundance of in Cd-Exposed Mice.
Moderate relevance to food poisoning
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.

Effective treatment
Omega was prescribed by a dermatologist due to temporary skin issues. After three weeks, my skin cleared up. I then continued with the capsules for health maintenance, as I realised I wasn't getting enough omega from my diet. I chose this based on a well-known endocrinologist's advice. I ordered 240 capsules twice. Although they are large, they didn't cause me any problems, and I had no nausea despite my history of stomach issues. Thus, I can confidently recommend them.
