Benefits
- Stress Reduction and Adaptogenic Effects: Helps regulate cortisol levels, mitigating the effects of chronic stress. [1]
- Cognitive Function Support: Enhances memory, focus, and mental clarity, potentially aiding neuroprotection. [2]
- Hormonal Balance: May enhance testosterone levels in men and support reproductive health in both genders. [3]
- Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects: Modulates immune response and reduces systemic inflammation. [4]
- Physical Performance Enhancement: Improves muscle strength, endurance, and recovery time. [5]

Dyerberg and Bang in 1970s highlighted the low incidence of coronary artery disease among Greenland Eskimos, attributing this to their high intake of marine lipids rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This suggested a protective cardiovascular effect from marine-derived omega-3s. Marine omega-3s are now recognized for their role in reducing triglyceride levels, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Fatty acids are needed for normal growth and development of children
Study Design: Healthy 4-year-old children, supplemented with 400 mg/d of DHA for 4 months, were evaluated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.
Findings: The regression analysis showed a significant positive association between the blood level of DHA and the test of listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. [5]
Maintenance of normal cardiac function
Study Design: A meta-analysis of 38 randomized controlled trials indicated that omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, reduce cardiovascular mortality and improve overall cardiovascular outcomes
Findings: DHA also influences vascular health by modulating endothelial cell function. It inhibits inflammation, regulates vascular biomarkers, and affects the production of nitric oxide and endothelin-1, which are crucial for vascular relaxation. [6]
Maintenance of normal (fasting) blood concentrations of triglyceride
Study Design: A study demonstrated that a daily intake of 3.4 grams of EPA and DHA in reduction of triglyceride
Findings: A daily intake of 3.4 grams of EPA and DHA resulted in a 27% reduction in fasting triglycerides among subjects with moderately elevated levels. [7]
