We explored the role of a gluten-free diet supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in influencing the inflammation associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Our study focused on 39 Caucasian women diagnosed with autoimmune HT to assess how these dietary changes might affect inflammatory responses.
Through careful analysis of metabolites, we observed that introducing a gluten-free diet with omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, may help alleviate inflammation related to Hashimoto’s. We noted an increase in anti-inflammatory fatty acid mediators after dietary changes, suggesting potential benefits of such dietary interventions for people with HT.
However, it is important to clarify that while we saw significant changes in inflammatory markers, the specific impact of DHA alone remains unclear. Moreover, our findings did not reveal any improvements in thyroid antibodies. This indicates that while dietary changes can have a positive impact on inflammation, the direct effects of DHA on Hashimoto's may require further investigation.

Now Foods offers great quality at a reasonable price. I appreciate this product as it serves as an excellent source of omega 3, significantly aiding my Hashimoto's. My hair is regrowing and my symptoms are improving, resulting in decreased inflammation. Moreover, there is thankfully no fishy aftertaste when I burp.

Alleviated symptoms
This is one of the best forms of omega. I regularly consume it, and it has alleviated my Hashimoto's symptoms including skin deterioration, sleep issues, and chronic fatigue. My 16-year-old son also takes it to combat computer-related fatigue from remote studies.
