This study explored whether omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) could slow down intervertebral disc degeneration, a common source of lower back pain. We induced disc degeneration in rats and then divided them into two groups—one received a daily diet enriched with omega-3s, while the other had a control diet.
After a month, we noted a decrease in inflammation markers in the omega-3 group. Furthermore, MRI scans showed better hydration in their discs and histological assessments indicated less tissue damage. These findings suggest that omega-3 supplementation could be beneficial for back pain related to disc degeneration.

We explored the link between omega-3 fatty acids and various pain conditions in a study involving 605 adults. Despite high expectations, our findings revealed that a higher intake ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids was associated with increased pain intensity, including low back pain.
Notably, higher levels of the omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) seemed to have a protective effect, indicating that bolstering omega-3 intake might help reduce pain levels. However, the study did not show strong evidence that omega-3 fish oil directly alleviates back pain specifically.

We explored the effectiveness of omega-3 fish oil supplements as an alternative treatment for nonsurgical neck and back pain. Over a period from March to June 2004, we asked 250 patients to take 1200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids daily. After about a month, a questionnaire revealed that 60% of participants reported improvement in their overall pain and joint pain. A significant number even stopped using traditional NSAIDs, with over 88% expressing the desire to continue taking fish oil. Overall, our findings suggest that fish oil could be a safer option for managing pain without notable side effects.

Pain relief achieved

I don’t usually write reviews, but this product deserves mention. After years of chronic pain from bulging discs and arthritis, I found relief soon after beginning the supplement. Within days, my pain vanished, leading to improved mobility and overall well-being. I’m extremely satisfied and will continue using it.

We investigated whether l-serine and EPA could help relieve chronic low-back and knee pain in adults. In a well-structured study with 120 participants, half received a combination of these compounds while the other half received a placebo. After eight weeks, results showed that those taking l-serine and EPA experienced significant pain relief.
This suggests that these compounds could be beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain, improving their overall quality of life. However, as with all treatments, individual results may vary.

We examined the connection between the levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the blood and chronic pain conditions like lower back pain. In our study of 503 adults, we found that a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 was linked to increased odds of experiencing both low back pain and temporomandibular disorder.
Interestingly, while men benefited from higher levels of omega-3 causing lower pain likelihood, the same effect wasn't seen for women. Overall, our findings suggest that omega-3 could play a role in managing back pain, although the results vary by gender.
