DHA reduces infant cold symptoms
Prenatal docosahexaenoic acid supplementation and infant morbidity: randomized controlled trial.
Highly relevant study results
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.

Prevents illness
I've been taking Omega-3 daily for four months, and I haven't caught a common cold. I experienced outbreaks of herpes after a two-month break, so I'll resume taking it. If my review helped you, please like it.

Energising effects
I was surprised by how refreshing Omega-3 is. Within days, I felt an improvement in my health and more energy. Waking up was much easier. The price is good for 200 capsules, and the quality of the product is high. Omega-3s are essential for heart health and reducing inflammation. They are vital for maintaining good health.

Skin improvements
Delight! I’ve been taking omega for the second winter season and it has exceeded my expectations. My hands no longer crack or dry, plus I feel more awake during winter. A lovely side effect has been my glowing skin. If you find my review useful, please let me know!

Significant coldness relief
Since I started taking this over a year and a half ago, I barely notice the coldness in my limbs. I've struggled with this since my twenties. I continue taking one tablet a day post-supper, finding it beneficial for my coldness and skin.
