Omega-3
Also known as: Fish oil, EPA/DHA, flaxseed oil (ALA), omega-3 fatty acids
Polyunsaturated fatty acids including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from fish oil, or ALA from plant sources. Support cardiovascular health, brain function, inflammation, joint health, and mood. Evidence for benefit in menopausal depression and cardiovascular risk reduction.

Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Omega-3 work?
EPA and DHA are incorporated into cell membranes and serve as precursors to anti-inflammatory eicosanoids (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, resolvins). They reduce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), lower triglycerides, support neuronal membrane integrity (relevant to brain fog and mood), and modulate serotonin receptor sensitivity.
