We conducted a double-blind randomized controlled trial to understand how prenatal supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) might influence infant health, particularly concerning the common cold. Pregnant women were given either a daily dose of 400 mg of DHA or a placebo starting at 18 to 22 weeks of gestation until childbirth.
Caregivers then reported on their infants’ health at 1, 3, and 6 months, sharing details about common illness symptoms. We found that DHA supplementation appeared to reduce the number of colds at one month and also seemed to lessen the duration of various cold symptoms in infants. Specifically, infants in the DHA group experienced fewer cold symptoms and had shorter durations of cough and wheezing.
While the overall occurrence of specific illness symptoms was similar between the DHA and placebo groups, DHA did bring about noteworthy benefits. At 1 month, infants in the DHA group had a 26% shorter duration of cough and 30% shorter wheezing; however, they experienced a longer duration of rash.
Furthermore, by the time the infants reached 3 months, those whose mothers took DHA were ill for 14% less time overall. At 6 months, the DHA group showed significantly reduced durations of several illness indicators, although they did experience longer episodes of vomiting.
This study suggests that prenatal DHA not only seems to impact the occurrence of colds in children but may also play a role in the duration of symptoms over the first half-year of life.

Great Omega 3! I bought this Omega 3 specifically for my husband. The dosage is excellent in one capsule, lasting two months. He takes one capsule daily, alongside vitamin D3 with meals. He appreciates the ease of use and its effectiveness. Before taking Omega 3, he frequently caught a common cold and suffered from weakness. Since its regular intake began, he hasn't been ill all autumn nor now! He has noticed an increase in strength and energy! An excellent result! We will reorder.

She showed herself perfectly! Of everything I bought here, this is the very best Omega-3! It absorbs well, with no belching or fishy smell. I was pleased with the triglyceride form, which is uncommon, especially at this price. I recommend buying it, and I will definitely order more!

A truly effective omega! My choice was influenced by the omega-3 acids in triglyceride form, known for superior absorption. Each capsule contains 1037 mg of omega-3, with over 80% essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. This fish oil comes from wild Alaskan pollock, which thrives in clean, cold waters. Since taking this product, my immunity has increased—I haven't had any common colds for the last six months. My work capacity has risen, and my skin has stayed moist and vibrant, even in winter. You won't regret trying it!

Cramps alleviated

Regarding nails, I haven't noticed any impact from this complex. However, while I use many good products for my hair, I believe fish oil has contributed to its good growth and lack of dryness. Interestingly, my leg cramps have noticeably decreased, especially at night, despite not taking other supplements since summer. The fish oil seems to have worked wonders in alleviating these cramps, earning it a positive point in my book.

Reduced colds

OMEGA SUPER! The Sports Research Omega-3 contains over 80% essential fatty acids. After 2 months, I've noticed that hair loss has ceased, and I suffer less from colds. My cholesterol, previously elevated, has returned to normal. The larger jar with 180 capsules is more cost-effective as it means less waiting time. I ordered 90 capsules last time for my husband!

Improved joint condition

Excellent composition; just one capsule a day suffices. In my opinion, this is the best Omega 3 available. It’s made from cold-water fish with a short life cycle, containing high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA. The right fats not only strengthen the immune system but also enhance brain activity and improve skin quality! I've noticed better flexibility in my knee joints and my previously dry skin has become more hydrated and elastic. No unpleasant aftertaste; feeling much better overall. Quality brand; I recommend it!

Metabolism improved

The triglyceride form is the best absorbed. Selecting fish from cold-water sources means less exposure to pollutants. The composition and DHA and EPA content are optimal. After some time, I've noticed significant effects; my skin, hair, and nails look better. I also buy this for my grandmother to help manage her metabolism in diabetes. There are numerous benefits to this product!

Warmer extremities
I think it aids in blood circulation. My hands and feet often felt cold, but taking omega makes my feet warmer. I believe that my cold hands and feet will improve with regular consumption.

No more colds

This brand is the best Omega-3 I've found on IHerb. I've been taking it for over a year with no side effects, and I don't experience any unpleasant fishy smell, unlike some other Omega-3 products. Since I started taking this alongside other vitamins, I haven't encountered any illnesses or even a slight common cold.

In my opinion, this is the best Omega-3 on the site, and I only buy it. It's in triglyceride form, produced from the carcasses of cold water fish with short life cycles. It boasts a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA, which not only bolster the immune system but also enhance brain activity and reduce heart disease risks. I've noticed improvements in my knee joints, making it easier to bend and unbend, and my skin has become more hydrated and elastic. I experience no aftertaste or unpleasant sensations. Overall, I'm feeling better. Quality brand, I highly recommend!
