WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY ABOUT DPA OMEGA-3
Association between Obesity and Omega-3 Status in Healthy Young Women
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are essential for healthy development and protect against metabolic disease. However, individuals with obesity may be pre-disposed to experiencing lower n-3 PUFA status than normal-weight individuals.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Flaring in Lupus
Preclinical and clinical studies reveal that consumption of the marine ω-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) might be used as a precision nutrition intervention to lessen lupus symptoms.
Higher levels of omega-3s are associated with lower risk of suboptimal sleep
Research: participant ages ranged from 35 to 96 years from 5 countries (Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Singapore, and the United States) with higher circulating omega-3 FAs had a lower risk of suboptimal sleep.
Potential benefits of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation to patients with COVID-19
Omega-3 dietary supplements could possibly improve the COVID-19 patient's recovery. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), present an anti-inflammatory effect that could ameliorate some patients need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
Long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and healthy ageing
A study published in the British Medical Journal found an association between higher blood levels of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DPA, and DHA and “healthy aging.” The authors concluded their findings support guidelines for increased dietary consumption of long-chain omega-3s in older adults.
