Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Marine fat, typically referring to the oils derived from fish and other marine animals, is well-studied for its effects on the cardiovascular system, including arteries. The primary active components are omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Multiple large-scale epidemiological studies and randomized clinical trials have shown that regular consumption of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids can lower triglyceride levels, reduce blood pressure modestly, and have anti-inflammatory effects, all of which are beneficial for arterial health. There is also evidence indicating that omega-3s may improve endothelial function and reduce arterial stiffness, further supporting arterial health.

The American Heart Association and similar organizations globally recommend the consumption of fatty fish or marine oils for cardiovascular protection. While the magnitude of benefit can vary depending on the population and underlying health conditions, the evidence base is robust enough to support the use of marine fat for maintaining or improving arterial health. However, it is important to note that while marine fats support arterial function and reduce some cardiovascular risk factors, the degree of benefit for preventing hard outcomes like heart attacks is still debated, especially in individuals without established disease.

In summary, marine fat has a strong scientific foundation for supporting arterial and overall cardiovascular health, justifying its use in this context.
