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.

Omega-3 effects on viral infections
Rationale and design of the pragmatic randomized trial of icosapent ethyl for high cardiovascular risk adults (MITIGATE).
Low relevance to cold treatment
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.

DHA/ARA reduces colds and allergies
The impact of early nutrition on incidence of allergic manifestations and common respiratory illnesses in children.
Relevant findings on early nutrition
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.

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.

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.
