What is the recommended dosage for Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA)?

General: 250-500 mg combined EPA/DHA/day; Anti Inflammatory: 1,000-3,000 mg combined EPA/DHA/day

What are the side effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA)?

Potential side effects include: Fishy aftertaste and burping, Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea), Increased bleeding risk at high doses, Potential LDL cholesterol increase at very high doses.

What is omega-3 and how does it support immune function?

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are essential polyunsaturated fats found in fish oil and algae. They play a role in resolving inflammation through specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and have been studied for their effects on immune cell membrane function.

What dosage of omega-3 has been studied for immune-related outcomes?

Clinical trials have used omega-3 doses of 1–4 g per day of combined EPA and DHA. For immune and anti-inflammatory outcomes, doses of 2–3 g per day are common, typically studied over periods of 8 to 16 weeks.

What are the potential side effects of omega-3 supplementation?

Common side effects include fishy aftertaste, burping, and mild gastrointestinal effects. High doses (above 3 g per day) may increase bleeding risk and should be discussed with a healthcare provider, especially before surgery or if taking anticoagulants.

About

Gli acidi grassi EPA e DHA modificano la composizione fosfolipidica delle membrane cellulari e generano mediatori pro-risolutivi specializzati — resolvine, protectine e maresine — che supportano attivamente la risoluzione dell'infiammazione. Lo studio VITAL ha evidenziato una riduzione del 15% del rischio di malattie autoimmuni. Il DHA ha mostrato effetti antinfiammatori più marcati rispetto all'EPA negli studi randomizzati.

How It Works

EPA and DHA alter cell membrane phospholipid composition and give rise to specialized pro-resolving mediators (resolvins, protectins, maresins); EPA inhibits NF-kB activation; DHA suppresses pro-inflammatory gene expression.
