New study on omega-3 softgels – any good or just fluff?
Came across this study (PMID: 38456789) claiming high-dose omega-3 softgels reduce inflammation markers by 30% in 8 weeks. Looks legit but I'm wary of supplement industry funding. What do you all think?
Sounds suspicious. Most omega-3 studies are funded by fish oil companies. Also, softgels often have sugar or preservatives. I'd rather get omegas from chia seeds. But interested to hear what others say.
I've been using Nordic Naturals softgels for years. My blood work shows lower triglycerides. The study might be legit if it's peer-reviewed. Check if it was in a reputable journal. Also, make sure the softgels are third-party tested.
I'd look at the sample size and conflict of interest. If it's from a journal like JAMA or Nature, it's probably solid. But I always rotate sources to avoid oxidation. Anyone tried krill oil softgels instead?
Good points! The journal is *Nutrients* – not top tier but decent. No conflicts listed, but still. Might give it a try for my joint pain. Thanks all!
