We analyzed various trials to see how omega-3 fish oil affects rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our research included 18 randomized controlled studies with 1,018 RA patients. The results showed omega-3 supplementation significantly increased beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA, and reduced triglycerides and tender joint count.

However, it didn't lead to significant changes in some inflammation markers and overall disease activity. While there are positive outcomes regarding certain symptoms, we found no remarkable evidence for its effectiveness in reducing inflammation levels.

Super EPA. I began using this product years ago when Vioxx was withdrawn. After taking NSAIDs for eight years, I developed a hiatal hernia due to the medication. I have chronic osteoarthritis and have been treated by a chiropractor for 8-10 years. They recommended this as a replacement for Aleve, and it works beautifully. Typically, I take five in the morning, and on really painful days, I take another five at bedtime. I will never resort to pain prescriptions or NSAIDs again, as I trust NOW FOODS for quality products.
