The Claim
High-dose omega-3 supplementation (4.8 g/day EPA+DHA) for three months is associated with a reduction in the AA/EPA ratio in obese women, and this reduction reverses within one month after cessation of supplementation.
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.
Taking a high dose of fish oil daily for three months may help shift the balance of fats in the body of obese women toward less inflammation, but if they stop taking it, that benefit goes away within a month.
See the scientific wording
High-dose omega-3 supplementation (4.8 g/day EPA+DHA) for three months is associated with a reduction in the AA/EPA ratio in obese women, indicating a shift in fatty acid balance toward anti-inflammatory precursors, but this effect reverses within one month after stopping supplementation.
What the research says
1 studyThis study gave obese women a high dose of fish oil for three months and found it lowered a marker linked to inflammation. When they stopped taking it, that marker went back up after just one month — exactly what the claim says.
