Omega-3 effects on viral infections
We examined the MITIGATE study, focusing on the effects of icosapent ethyl (IPE), a purified omega-3 fatty acid, in adults with cardiovascular disease at risk for viral upper respiratory infections.

With about 16,500 participants, this clinical trial compared IPE treatment against usual care. The goal was to see if IPE could lessen the severity and impact of viral infections over six months.

Unfortunately, there was no significant evidence found that IPE improved outcomes for upper respiratory infections in this group.

We investigated whether feeding infants formula supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) could impact the development of allergies and respiratory illnesses until age three.

In a well-structured, randomized, double-blind study, we followed children who received either supplemented or nonsupplemented formulas during their first year of life. Our findings showed that those on the DHA/ARA formula had significantly lower chances of developing upper respiratory infections and common allergic diseases.

Notably, the DHA/ARA group experienced a delayed onset and reduced incidence of respiratory issues, indicating potential benefits of early nutrition on long-term health.

Improved skin texture
I liked the pills, although I did not see any difference in my nails and hair. However, after a week of taking them, my facial skin became more elastic and radiant, with red pimples and bumps vanishing. I highly recommend these for skin! As for hair, it's suggested to apply the capsules directly to the roots and throughout the length.

Clearer skin
After a month of use, the small pimples cleared up, and my skin became more elastic. I was able to grow my hair longer. The capsules are of medium size, and it's convenient as you only need to take them once a day.

Pricey but effective
These are effective but quite expensive. I have tried omega supplements from various manufacturers and dosages, and this one is the best, if you can overlook the price. Due to the high dosage, I took breaks (even though doctors recommend consistent use). I noticed deep pimples forming with an overdose.
