Kasivit Omega-3 Supplements are fish oil softgels. The supplier label states 180 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 120 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) per serving, and the suggested use is one softgel twice daily with meals, so check the label for the serving size. EPA and DHA are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish.
Studies of omega-3 supplements have not shown a clear heart benefit overall. A Cochrane review of 86 trials found little or no effect of long-chain omega-3 on all-cause mortality or cardiovascular events (high-certainty evidence), with possible slight reductions in cardiovascular mortality (moderate-certainty) and in coronary heart disease events (low-certainty); triglycerides were about 15% lower, with the effect depending on the dose. The REDUCE-IT trial (4 g/day of a prescription EPA drug) reported fewer cardiovascular events but more hospitalisations for atrial fibrillation or flutter, and the STRENGTH trial (4 g/day of an EPA and DHA formulation) found no difference. Those products and doses differ from over-the-counter fish oil.*
Reviews found no or very little effect of omega-3 on cognitive decline in older adults, and a small average effect on depressive symptoms in trials, mainly with EPA-dominant products. Trials have also linked omega-3 supplements to a higher risk of atrial fibrillation, larger at doses above 1 g/day, and omega-3 can interact with blood thinners. This page describes studies of omega-3, not of this product.*
