The Claim
Twelve weeks of co-supplementation with 1000 mg omega-3 fatty acids and 400 IU vitamin E increases plasma total antioxidant capacity by 89.4 mmol/L and decreases malondialdehyde by 0.3 μmol/L in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In women with polycystic ovary syndrome, taking 1000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 400 IU of vitamin E daily for twelve weeks raises plasma antioxidant capacity by 89.4 mmol/L and lowers malondialdehyde by 0.3 μmol/L.
See the scientific wording
Twelve weeks of co-supplementation with 1000 mg omega-3 fatty acids and 400 IU vitamin E significantly increases plasma total antioxidant capacity by 89.4 mmol/L and decreases malondialdehyde by 0.3 μmol/L in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating reduced oxidative stress.
Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E work together to neutralize harmful free radicals in the blood and cell membranes, which stops damage to fats in the body and boosts the body’s natural ability to fight oxidation.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that taking omega-3 and vitamin E pills every day for 12 weeks helped women with PCOS fight off harmful cell damage by boosting their body’s natural defenses and lowering a marker of damage, just like the claim says.
