Fish oil reduces catheter-related clots
Intravenous Fish Oil Lipid Emulsion Prevents Catheter-Related Thromboses in Pediatric Patients with Intestinal Failure.
High relevance to pediatric care
We analyzed the effects of fish oil lipid emulsion on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis in children with intestinal failure.

In this study, we compared 35 pediatric patients receiving a soy oil lipid emulsion with 35 who received fish oil.

Remarkably, none of the children in the fish oil group experienced blood clots, whereas the soy oil group had ten cases. This suggests that fish oil lipid emulsion may significantly reduce the risk of clots associated with central venous catheters.

Omega-3 reduces clot risk post-surgery
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce post-operative risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after surgery for elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures: a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial.
High relevance for elderly patients
We explored the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on blood clot risks in elderly patients recovering from proximal femoral fractures after surgery. In a randomized, double-blind study involving 452 participants, those who received daily supplementation of 1000 mg of omega-3 for 30 days experienced significant reductions in pulmonary embolism and symptomatic deep vein thrombosis compared to those on a placebo. Importantly, these benefits came without an increased risk of bleeding complications.

FJH-KO reduces blood clots
Antarctic Krill Oil from Ameliorates Carrageenan-Induced Thrombosis in a Mouse Model.
High relevance for antithrombotics
We investigated the impact of FJH-KO, a source of omega-3 fatty acids from Antarctic krill, on thrombosis in a mouse model. By inducing thrombosis using carrageenan, we treated the mice with FJH-KO beforehand.

The results showed that FJH-KO reduced thrombus formation and prolonged bleeding time. It also lowered levels of substances associated with clotting while boosting protective factors. Additionally, in human cells, FJH-KO inhibited the adhesion of immune cells, suggesting its potential as an antithrombotic agent.

Protects heart health
Absolutely, fish omega cholesterol and DHA are essential for health. It does not have a strong fishy odour. I find it more palatable than other products when I burp. This helps me protect myself from heart blood issues, various diseases, and arthritis. The ingredients are beneficial for hair as well. I have faith in this brand, having just finished this package over the last two months.

Enhanced skin condition
I regularly take omega and switch manufacturers; I recently tried this supplement. It effectively enhances skin condition, supports brain function, thins the blood, and reduces bad cholesterol levels. I believe the quality is excellent, as this Omega 3 is fish oil rather than a vegetable substitute. The high content of DHA and EPA was a significant factor in my choice, assisting in blood thinning and the removal of bad cholesterol.

DHA's role in blood clotting
DHA 12-LOX-derived oxylipins regulate platelet activation and thrombus formation through a PKA-dependent signaling pathway.
High relevance in cardiovascular research
We investigated how docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and its derivatives affect platelet activity and blood clotting. Our findings revealed that DHA, along with its oxidized forms, effectively reduced platelet aggregation and activation, particularly in mouse models.

Although DHA showed some benefits, the most significant effects on blood clots came from its oxylipins, specifically 11-HDHA and 14-HDHA. These compounds appeared to inhibit platelet adhesion and thrombus formation through a specific signaling pathway, enhancing the potential for DHA as a treatment for clot-related cardiovascular issues.

Omega-3s reduce blood clot risk
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids alter the number, fatty acid profile and coagulatory activity of circulating and platelet-derived extracellular vesicles: a randomized, controlled crossover trial.
High relevance to CVD research
We examined how fish oil, rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), impacts blood clotting in individuals at moderate risk for cardiovascular diseases. In a controlled study with 40 participants, we discovered that fish oil supplementation led to significant changes in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are linked to clotting processes.

Notably, the fish oil reduced the coagulatory activity of these EVs, suggesting a protective effect against thrombus formation. This finding opens up new avenues for preventing blood clots and managing cardiovascular health.

Effective for cholesterol
Good quality ingredients and value with IFOS certification. I find that the fish oil is suitable for middle-aged individuals to boost HDL cholesterol levels for heart health, as evidenced by my blood test results. It has no fishy taste and is well packaged in a suitably sized box to prevent wastage, although I haven't observed any improvement in my hair.

Improves circulation
Omega 3 contributes positively to cholesterol management and enhances blood circulation. I take it for high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia. Taking it during meals mitigates any fishy taste or smell, making it manageable to consume.
