We investigated the link between omega-3 fatty acids and the timing of menopause. Using a Mendelian randomization approach, we analyzed data from thousands of women to assess how different fatty acids influenced reproductive longevity—specifically, the age at menopause.
Our findings revealed that higher plasma levels of DHA, a type of omega-3, were associated with a delayed onset of menopause. This suggests that increasing DHA could be a potential strategy for extending women's reproductive lifespan.

We examined how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) could protect against vascular issues linked to menopause using an ovariectomized rat model.
In our study, we found that n-3 PUFA supplementation helped maintain baroreflex sensitivity, which typically declines after ovariectomy.
Additionally, the central arterial pressure profile remained stable in treated rats, showing a potential protective effect against postmenopausal vascular issues. This suggests that omega-3 fish oil may offer therapeutic benefits during menopause.

We investigated how DHA-enriched fish oil affects cognitive challenges associated with menopause, particularly in female mice carrying the APOE4 gene, known to increase Alzheimer's risk. Our findings suggest that while this fish oil improved recognition memory, it did not significantly enhance spatial working memory.
Furthermore, the fish oil raised levels of DHA and other beneficial compounds in the brain, hinting at its potential protective effects against menopause-related cognitive decline, especially for those at higher risk. Overall, our study indicates a promising role for DHA-rich fish oil in supporting brain health during menopause.

Improved sleep quality
4 people found this helpful
One of Solgar's favourite products, it improves sleep and enhances efficiency; it markedly improves my mood and strengthens my hair while my skin appears healthier. Surprisingly, since starting the Female formula alongside Omega, I've slept soundly for the first time in six months. During menopause, I endured severe hot flashes that drenched my sheets. Now, I sleep peacefully beside my husband without disturbances. We take it regularly as a family. I'm thankful to the manufacturer for enhancing my quality of life.

Skin condition improved
2 people found this helpful
This product works wonders and comes highly recommended by my gynecologist-endocrinologist. I've been taking it for five months, and I've observed significant improvements in my skin condition and dryness. My blood tests indicate notable enhancements in my health. During menopause, according to my doctor, it's essential to take Omega continually. I plan to order more.

Menopause symptoms alleviated
This Omega is effective; I take it on a periodic basis. The dosage is optimal. Coupled with Vit D3 5000, I noticed a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms. After a month of use, everything returned to normal.

We examined the impact of omega 3 fish oil, paired with resistance exercise, on health in postmenopausal women. In our trial, 20 healthy older women took part in either a resistance training program with fish oil or a placebo for eight weeks.
Both groups showed improvements in physical function, but those taking fish oil experienced a notable boost in handgrip strength and lower blood pressure and inflammatory markers.
This suggests that fish oil could enhance muscle function and reduce health risks for women navigating menopause.

We explored how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) affect mood changes associated with menopause in ovariectomized rats. Our study revealed that menopause led to anxiety and depression-like behaviors, driven by increased neuroinflammation in the brain.
However, we found that omega-3 supplementation helped shift the brain's inflammatory response towards a healthier balance. The omega-3s not only assisted in reducing the negative mood symptoms but also promoted protective effects against neuroinflammation.
Overall, while omega-3 fatty acids show promise, more research is needed to fully understand their benefits for menopause-related issues.

Hormonal relief experienced
A gynecologist prescribed Omega-3, and my endocrinologist affirmed its importance. I suffer from menopause symptoms including hot flashes, and doctors suggest this supplement is vital for women over 45. Coming from a medical family, I appreciate the discussions about treatments and can confidently say OMEGA is a favourite for its direct benefits to our health. I highly recommend Solgar's OMEGA 3.

Essential for symptoms
I've been taking Omega-3 for four months, as per my gynecologist's recommendation. It's crucial for women's health during menopause to ease symptoms, as the body does not synthesise essential fatty acids sufficiently. Achieving the necessary daily intake via food is challenging, hence the necessity for these supplements. I take Imeno triple Omega from Solgar as advised by my doctor.

We examined how DHA, at a dose of 625 mg, influences menopausal symptoms, sexual function, and overall quality of life in perimenopausal women. Involving 42 participants, we measured multiple aspects of their well-being using reputable indices over six months. Results indicated significant improvements in menopause symptoms and psychological quality of life. Particularly, sexual function scores improved, suggesting benefits for arousal and lubrication. However, physical quality of life showed no meaningful change. Thus, DHA appears promising in alleviating specific menopausal challenges and enhancing the sexual experience.

We explored the impact of omega-3 fish oil on menopausal quality of life through a well-designed 12-week study. Involving 355 peri- and postmenopausal women, participants were divided into groups for yoga, exercise, usual activity, and omega-3 or placebo supplements.
While yoga demonstrated some positive effects, omega-3 did not show significant benefits in improving quality of life or menopausal symptoms. The results indicate that while yoga can aid menopausal women, omega-3 supplementation may not be a reliable option for enhancing their experience.

We investigated how omega-3 fish oil affects menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Women received either soybean, omega-3, or a placebo over 12 weeks.
Both soybean and omega-3 supplements improved menopausal symptoms, but interestingly, there was no notable difference between the two supplements. Additionally, neither had any impact on blood lipids or thyroid hormones.
Overall, omega-3 fish oil may help ease menopausal discomfort but does not significantly outperform other options like soybean.
