Synopsis

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

Fatty acid blends or fat/oil supplements, such as those containing omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, are supported by scientific evidence for their role in supporting the structural system, particularly bone and joint health. Multiple studies have demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., EPA and DHA from fish oil) can help reduce inflammation, which is a key factor in joint degeneration and diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, research suggests that omega-3 supplementation may promote bone health by enhancing calcium absorption, reducing bone loss, and supporting overall bone density, especially in aging populations. While the strongest evidence is related to joint support and mitigating inflammatory processes, some studies have also pointed toward benefits for cartilage health and reduced risk of osteoporosis. However, effects can vary depending on the specific fatty acids used, dosage, and population studied. Overall, the use of fatty acid blends to support the structural system is primarily justified by a substantial body of scientific literature, particularly regarding their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to support joint and bone health.
