Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Salmon oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which have been extensively studied for their cardiovascular benefits. While direct studies on salmon oil and "capillaries" specifically are limited, there is robust scientific evidence indicating that omega-3 fatty acids improve vascular function and support the integrity of blood vessels, including microcirculation which involves capillaries. Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties and help maintain endothelial function, which is crucial for capillary health. Clinical studies have shown that omega-3 supplementation can reduce blood vessel inflammation and improve endothelial reactivity, which indirectly supports capillary health. Additionally, omega-3s may help lower blood pressure and reduce blood viscosity, further promoting healthy microcirculation.

However, most research focuses on broader cardiovascular outcomes rather than targeted capillary function. There is some evidence from studies on diabetic microangiopathy and other microvascular conditions suggesting a benefit, but these findings are not universally conclusive. In summary, while there is no direct, high-level clinical evidence specifically targeting capillary support, the general vascular and endothelial benefits of salmon oil's omega-3s provide moderate scientific justification for its use in supporting the capillary system.
