Fish oil reduces catheter-related clots
Intravenous Fish Oil Lipid Emulsion Prevents Catheter-Related Thromboses in Pediatric Patients with Intestinal Failure.
High relevance to pediatric care
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
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce post-operative risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after surgery for elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures: a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial.
High relevance for elderly patients
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.

FJH-KO reduces blood clots
Antarctic Krill Oil from Ameliorates Carrageenan-Induced Thrombosis in a Mouse Model.
High relevance for antithrombotics
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.

Cholesterol reduction
My husband, who enjoys food a bit too much, found himself with a high level of 'bad' cholesterol at 8.6. After following a doctor’s advice, including omega-3 supplements, and modifying his diet, his cholesterol dropped to 5.6 after 2.5 months! This product truly works in treating blood clots. I highly recommend it.

Cholesterol improvement
My husband was advised to take omega-3 for his high cholesterol, initially at 8.6. After a diet change and taking this supplement, his levels normalised to 5.6 over two and a half months! It’s truly effective for tackling blood clots.

DHA's role in blood clotting
DHA 12-LOX-derived oxylipins regulate platelet activation and thrombus formation through a PKA-dependent signaling pathway.
High relevance in cardiovascular research
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.

Eicosapentaenoic acid influences clotting
Emergence of omega-3 fatty acids in biomedical research.
Moderate interest from study findings
We explored how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, influences blood clotting processes. The interest in EPA grew substantially after the 1970s when researchers Dyerberg and Bang noted that Greenland Eskimos had lower rates of coronary disease linked to their diet rich in marine lipids.

Their findings suggested that the higher levels of EPA led to reduced platelet aggregation, which essentially means that the blood clots less easily. This anti-clotting effect is significant since blood clots can lead to serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes.

Although studies have shown these promising effects, it’s crucial to note that much of the initial acclaim came from dietary observations rather than controlled clinical trials. This means that while we can relate high EPA intake to lower health risks in specific populations, we still need more rigorous studies to fully understand the impact of EPA on blood clotting across diverse groups.

Positive results noted
I bought this omega-3 for my husband due to his high cholesterol. His bad cholesterol level declined without using statins! He took two capsules daily with vitamin D-3, and I was pleased with the results in alleviating blood clots.
