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.

Cold-free winter
I have been taking this product for months and it's the first time I've never had that horrible 'fishy' taste after swallowing the pills. I’ve remained cold and flu free during winter in New Zealand, and my hair, nails, and skin appear fantastic. I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Immune support
The ingredients are natural and good for health. Everyone should take it, as Omega-3 is beneficial for lowering cholesterol, improving hair growth, and providing anti-inflammatory properties. It strengthens the immune system and helps reduce the common cold's severity.

Joint pain relief
Omega-3 from Nordic Naturals supports heart, brain, and joint health. It has high levels of EPA and DHA, reduces inflammation, and has no unpleasant aftertaste. After taking it for several months, I've noticed improved skin condition and less joint pain, along with a better response to the common cold.

Fewer colds
I give this Omega to my 8-year-old daughter. The taste is acceptable, and the lemon smell masks the oil well. It's gluten-free, which is essential for her intolerance. I've noticed fewer colds, and her skin is healthier. I trust this brand, having used other options for adults.
