In the largest and most comprehensive study to date, scientists confirmed the power of fish oil supplements to protect us from heart disease. For this in-depth review study, scientists combined the results of 40 previously published clinical trials evaluating the impact of fish oil omega 3 fats, DHA and EPA, on cardiac events. The review included over 135,000 study subjects consuming a broad range of fish oil dosages. The conclusion? Fish oil protects the heart! Collectively, study subjects who consumed supplemental EPA and DHA enjoyed the following benefits:

What’s more, the scientists noted a positive dose response relationship with higher doses offering a greater degree of protection. While consuming oily fish like salmon and sardines is the optimal way to get EPA and DHA, thanks to the presence of other heart-healthy nutrients in the fish, most people don’t come close to consuming adequate amounts of these critical fats.

Thus, high quality fish oil supplements offer a simple and cost-effective way to deliver these life-saving fats to the masses. On days that I do not consume oily fish, I take a high-quality fish oil supplement at a dose of around 2 grams (DHA + EPA). Keep in mind that these fats are also essential for brain health, vision health, fetal development, and keeping the lid on dangerous inflammation in the body. Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2020; DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2020.08.034
