Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and some plants, help your body calm down long-term inflammation, improve blood vessel health, and keep your cells’ energy systems running smoothly.
From The #1 Supplement That Keeps Your Body Younger · videoSee the scientific wording
Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into cellular membranes and give rise to specialized pro-resolving mediators that resolve chronic inflammation, enhance vascular function, and support mitochondrial and metabolic homeostasis.

What Would Prove This
Per GRADE and EBM methodology, here is what ideal scientific evidence would look like to definitively prove or disprove this claim, ordered from strongest to weakest.
Systematic Review of Omega-3 Supplementation on Inflammatory Markers, Vascular Function, and Metabolic Biomarkers in Humans
Population: Adults with chronic low-grade inflammation; Intervention: Daily omega-3 supplementation (EPA/DHA); Comparator: Placebo; Outcomes: Serum levels of pro-resolving mediators, CRP, endothelial function, mitochondrial respiration markers, insulin sensitivity; Duration: 12 weeks minimum.
Double-Blind RCT of High-Dose Omega-3 vs Placebo on Pro-Resolving Mediator Production and Vascular Reactivity in Metabolic Syndrome
Population: Adults with metabolic syndrome; Intervention: 3g/day EPA/DHA; Comparator: Olive oil placebo; Outcomes: Plasma levels of resolvins, lipoxins, flow-mediated dilation, mitochondrial membrane potential, fasting glucose; Duration: 16 weeks.
Prospective Cohort Study of Dietary Omega-3 Intake and Long-Term Changes in Inflammatory and Metabolic Biomarkers in Middle-Aged Adults
Population: 5,000 middle-aged adults; Intervention: Dietary omega-3 intake assessed via food frequency questionnaires; Comparator: Low vs high intake groups; Outcomes: Annual measurements of inflammatory cytokines, arterial stiffness, insulin resistance over 10 years; Duration: 10 years.
In Vitro Demonstration of Omega-3 Incorporation into Human Endothelial Cell Membranes and Subsequent Synthesis of Pro-Resolving Mediators
Population: Human endothelial and macrophage cell lines; Intervention: Exposure to EPA/DHA at physiological concentrations; Comparator: Oleic acid control; Outcomes: Membrane lipidomics, mass spectrometry of resolvins and protectins, cytokine secretion profiles; Duration: 24–72 hours.
Mouse Model Study of Omega-3 Supplementation on Resolution of Diet-Induced Chronic Inflammation and Mitochondrial Function in Liver and Muscle
Population: C57BL/6 mice fed high-fat diet; Intervention: Oral omega-3 supplementation (2% diet); Comparator: High-fat diet without omega-3; Outcomes: Tissue levels of pro-resolving mediators, liver inflammation, muscle mitochondrial respiration, insulin sensitivity; Duration: 12 weeks.
