Traditional/Ethnobotanical uses Most uses of fish oils have been based on the beneficial effects of EPA and DHA, specifically those related to the heart, inflammation, the brain, and hormones. Interest in possible health benefits followed observations that populations who ate a lot of fish, such as Eskimo and Inuit populations, had less atherosclerosis, fewer clotting disorders, and reduced inflammation. In addition, deficiencies were seen in hospitals with infants fed nonfat or low-fat diets or in patients receiving long-term (eg, 2 to 3 weeks) intravenous nutritional formulations lacking polyunsaturated fatty acids. General uses Evidence is strongest for lowering the risk of coronary artery disease and decreasing triglycerides in the blood. Reductions in the risk of death from any cause, cardiac death, and sudden death have been established for omega-3 fatty acid supplementation lasting at least 1 year. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of fish oil for reducing very high blood triglycerides (over 5.65 mmol/L) in adults along with eating less fatty food. Evidence favoring use of intravenous fish oil lipid emulsion is mounting from studies of severely ill and surgical patients. Evidence for a role in treating rheumatoid arthritis remains unclear but promising. No consistent relationship between fish oil consumption and reduction in the risk of stroke or maintenance in inflammatory bowel disease has been established. Other areas of interest in the use of fish oils include asthma and allergy, inadequate menstruation, mental health, and the promotion of growth and development in newborns.
