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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Improved cholesterol levels

I'm extremely pleased with Omega 3, though it occasionally runs out of stock, requiring a wait. It features maximum polyunsaturated acids with a rare ratio, plus vitamin D. I consume two capsules daily. My blood became more liquid (the heat no longer bothers me). Cholesterol levels returned to normal.

Lowered triglyceride levels

I take omega-3s to reduce blood triglyceride levels. After a couple of months, I experienced a threefold decrease—an excellent result. I intend to continue. The golden transparent capsules are large but swallowable. I take two before bed, along with vitamin D.

Normalised blood pressure
3 people found this helpful
Omega-3 acids effectively "cleanse" blood vessels of excess "bad" cholesterol, preventing "cholesterol plaques". It improves blood viscosity and regulates blood pressure while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol - HDL. It strengthens blood vessel walls, enhancing their elasticity.

Supports blood vessels.
1 people found this helpful
Omega-3 helps maintain blood vessel elasticity and reduces plaque buildup, crucial at my age. It aids in normal blood pressure levels and triglycerides, with excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Despite the capsules being hard to swallow, I drink them during a fatty meal, which enhances absorption. The taste is delightful—slightly lemony.

Great value product
1 people found this helpful
I recommend carefully comparing the Omega 3 content against other products and opting for one with a high concentration. While not the highest quality, it offers good value for money at the upper mid-level. Regular consumption is believed to greatly benefit blood circulation. I alternate with a DHA-fortified product and feel psychologically more effective.

We investigated the link between omega-3 fatty acids and blood clot markers in patients with atrial fibrillation. By analyzing data from over 2,370 participants, we found that higher levels of total omega-3s were connected to lower levels of D-dimer and beta-thromboglobulin, both indicators of activated coagulation and platelet activity.
This suggests that omega-3s may help reduce blood clot risks. However, while some individual fatty acids showed varied effects, the overall trend points to the potential antithrombotic benefits of these healthy fats.

Omega-3s reduce thrombin generation
We explored the effects of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, on blood clotting functions. Using well-designed models, we found that while these omega-3s didn’t significantly alter many platelet functions, they did slow down thrombin generation, a key factor in blood clot formation.
Interestingly, in mice on an omega-3 enriched diet, we observed reduced platelet accumulation in thrombi. This suggests that omega-3 fish oil may indeed have a protective role in cardiovascular health, particularly in moderating blood clot formation.
