Does Omega III Salmon Oil and/or Omega III Concentrate work in the cell or in the joint where it has an anti-inflammatory effect?
Some research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids (naturally occurring in salmon and other fish) can modestly reduce joint inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation associated with some other diseases. The mechanism for this effect is not well understood, but is believed to be the result of an inhibition of three of the normal pathways of inflammation. This effect is not related to either the joint fluid or the muscles. Other studies have suggested that the potential anti-inflammatory effect of omega-3 fatty acids will also be seen in other injury or stress-related instances, such as might be experienced by athletes. Despite this promising research, it is important to keep in mind that both Omega III Salmon Oil and Omega III Concentrate are natural food extracts. They are to be taken for the benefits of regularly supplementing the diet with whole-food omega-3 fatty acids. Neither is intended to be marketed as a cure for joint pain or inflammation.
