Omega-3s, like those in fish oil, help your body make natural chemicals that shut down inflammation when it’s no longer needed—kind of like hitting the 'off' switch after a fire alarm goes off.

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.

Omega-3s might help calm down inflammation in the body, which could make life easier for people with joint pain or autoimmune diseases.

Consuming omega-3 fatty acids from food is associated with reduced inflammation in the gut and stronger lining of the intestines.

Taking omega-3 supplements may help lower inflammation in your body, which you can see through blood tests that measure markers like CRP and IL-6.

Taking fish oil supplements (which have EPA and DHA) might help calm down skin inflammation by boosting natural healing chemicals and lowering inflammation signs, but sometimes it works really well and other times it doesn’t — it’s inconsistent.
