“High omega-3 fatty acid intake: Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and reduce inflammation. Learn more about omega-3s and brain health in our comprehensive overview article.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids - Omega-3s reduce intestinal permeability, alter the makeup of the gut microbiota (favoring butyrate-producing species), and resolve inflammation via the action of specialized pro-resolving mediators.”

“"Research demonstrates that people with depression are often deficient in several key nutrients involved in modulating inflammation, neurogenesis, and aspects of metabolism, including folate, vitamins B6 and B12, and omega-3 fatty acids".”

“While the researchers initially predicted that omega-3 supplementation would reduce inflammation by removing methyl groups from the anti-inflammatory genes (increasing their expression), the opposite mechanism – adding methyl groups to pro-inflammatory genes – was discovered.”

“In one study, four weeks of daily supplementation with four grams of the omega-3's eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) combined with exercise had a uniquely powerful effect on raising small HDL levels. A growing body of evidence suggests that omega-3 intake during the early stages of Alzheimer's disease may reduce disease severity.”

“Investigators tested 168 metabolites, seven metabolomic aging clocks, and 24 metabolomic disease-risk scores. DHA and total omega-3 levels increased nominally, even though the multivitamin contained no omega-3 fatty acids, and the usual rise in creatinine was blunted.”

“Dietary factors, such as omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and various plant-based compounds, including lion's mane and 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, influence BDNF status. Metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes, increases BDNF concentrations.”

“A post hoc DO-HEALTH analysis studied 777 generally healthy Swiss adults with a mean age of about 75. One gram per day of marine omega-3 produced small favorable changes in three DNA-methylation aging measures over three years.”

“Avoiding chronic exposure to inflammation may be one of the single most important things we do for our health as we age. It turns out that byproducts of omega-3 fatty acid metabolism, called specialized pro-resolving mediators, or SPMs for short, reduce inflammation.”
