More Favorable Effects of Fish Oil
The good news about fish oil just keeps on coming. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, this nutrient has now been shown to reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medicine in dogs with joint pain, results which may bode well for humans also dealing with joint discomforts.
A 12-week study evaluated a total of 131 dogs who suffered from stable chronic osteoarthritis. All the dogs were treated with Carprofen, an anti-inflammatory medication. One group received food enriched with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids, while a control group received only a small amount of the nutrient. At the end of the study, researchers found that the dogs consuming more fish oil omega-3s were perceived to be in less pain compared to the control group, allowing for a reduction in their medication dosage.
There have been many studies on this amazing nutrient confirming its benefits in humans with joint discomfort. I believe it is essential for people of all ages, and I recommend adults consume between 1,200 and 2,400 mg daily. When choosing a fish oil product, I urge you to look for one that is molecularly distilled to ensure harmful toxins have been removed.
