Synopsis

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

Salmon oil is rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids have been extensively studied for their anti-inflammatory properties, which are particularly relevant to joint health. Multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated that omega-3 supplementation can reduce symptoms of joint pain and stiffness, especially in populations with inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The proposed mechanism involves the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the modulation of immune cell function, leading to decreased inflammation in synovial tissues.

For example, a meta-analysis published in Rheumatology (2012) found that omega-3 supplementation resulted in statistically significant improvements in joint pain intensity, morning stiffness, and the number of painful joints in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Similar benefits have been observed in osteoarthritis, although the evidence is somewhat less robust. Additionally, omega-3s may reduce reliance on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in some patients.

While most research has focused on populations with existing joint disease, some evidence suggests that regular consumption of salmon oil may support joint health in the general population by maintaining normal inflammatory responses. Overall, there is strong scientific support for the use of salmon oil to support the joints body system through its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.
