Marine omega-3 fatty acids and inflammatory processes
Comprehensive review demonstrating omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) reduce inflammation through resolvins and protectins, lowering CRP and IL-6 in chronic inflammatory conditions.
Anti-inflammatory Mechanisms
- EPA/DHA produce resolvins and protectins
- CRP reduction: 15-25%
- IL-6 reduction: 10-20%
Dosing
1-2g combined EPA/DHA daily for anti-inflammatory effects.
Outcomes
- C-Reactive Protein-20
- Interleukin-6-15
