The Claim

In primary human monocytes isolated from a single healthy donor and stimulated with LPS, pre-treatment with Omega 3 Orange at 2.5% concentration reduces prostaglandin E2 production by approximately 95% and suppresses TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 release by up to 70%, indicating a potent, dose-dependent inhibition of key inflammatory mediators in vitro.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

When human immune cells called monocytes are exposed to a bacterial trigger and treated with Omega 3 Orange at 2.5% concentration, prostaglandin E2 production decreases by about 95%, and the release of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 is reduced by up to 70%.

See the scientific wording

In primary human monocytes isolated from a single healthy donor and stimulated with LPS, pre-treatment with Omega 3 Orange at 2.5% concentration reduces prostaglandin E2 production by approximately 95% and suppresses TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 release by up to 70%, indicating a potent, dose-dependent inhibition of key inflammatory mediators in vitro.

Why this might work

Omega-3 fatty acids enter immune cells and replace a different fat that normally triggers inflammation. This reduces the production of one inflammatory chemical and blocks a key signal that turns on genes for other inflammatory chemicals, causing a strong drop in multiple inflammatory signals.

  1. Study: Omega-3-Based Nutraceuticals Suppress LPS-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Primary Human Monocytes

    In a lab test, a special omega-3 drink called Omega 3 Orange nearly wiped out one major inflammatory chemical (PGE2) and cut several others by up to 70% in human immune cells triggered by a bacterial signal. This matches exactly what the claim says.
