Evidence supporting the use of: Marine fat
For the body system: Reproductive System
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4
Marine fat, particularly from sources such as fish oil, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which have been studied for their roles in supporting various aspects of the reproductive system. Scientific research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids can positively influence reproductive health in both men and women. In women, studies have shown that omega-3s may help regulate menstrual cycles, improve oocyte quality, and support healthy pregnancy outcomes by modulating inflammatory pathways and hormone production. For men, marine fat supplementation has been associated with improved sperm quality, motility, and overall fertility, likely due to the anti-inflammatory and membrane-stabilizing properties of omega-3s.
Randomized controlled trials and observational studies have found correlations between higher dietary intake of marine fats and improved reproductive outcomes, including reduced risk of endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and preterm birth. However, while the evidence is generally positive and mechanistically plausible, more large-scale clinical trials are needed to fully elucidate specific effects and optimal dosing. Nonetheless, the current body of scientific literature provides a strong basis for the use of marine fat, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, in supporting reproductive system health.
