Research Notes on Omega 3 for Rheumatoid Arthritis


There is evidence that omega-3 fatty acids can help people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation. It is recommended that you eat four to six servings of fish each week to reach full benefits.1 If that seems like too much fish, there are omega 3 supplements available, however, it may take up to twelve weeks before you may notice maximum benefits.2

Fast Facts:

  • Best sources of omega 3 include salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and anchovies.3
  • You may notice a reduction in the amount of medication you need to reduce discomfort due to rheumatoid arthritis.4
  • Some side effects from the use of omega 3 supplements include a bad aftertaste, diarrhea, nausea, or gas.5
