Surprising benefits from omega 3 fatty acids

This study compared the risk of contracting 3 coronavirus infections in participants with different levels of the omega 3 fatty acid DHA (Harris WS, et.,al.,2023).

The DHA levels (% of total fatty acids) were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance.

The results were interesting.

This is what the researchers concluded. These findings suggest that nutritional strategies to increase the circulating omega 3 level, such as increased consumption of oily fish and/or use of omega 3 fatty acid supplements, may reduce the risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes.

When using omega 3 fish oil, use a product that has high amounts of EPA and DHA and has been tested to avoid contamination.

We have updated our formula to a ratio of EPA and DHA that has shown to be the most beneficial

The anti-inflammatory effects of Omega 3 fatty acids are well known. Most people that eat a western diet can benefit from increasing the intake of Omega 3 fatty acid since their diet usually contains too much Omega 6 from vegetable oils and saturated fat from dairy and other animal sources.
