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.

Taking a daily omega-3 supplement for 3 months can calm down the immune system in your fat tissue, even if you're at a normal weight—like turning down the volume on inflammation signals that don't need to be so loud.

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