Synopsis

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

Marine lipids, which are primarily composed of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), have substantial scientific evidence supporting their role in maintaining and supporting the structural system, particularly bone and joint health. Numerous clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids can modulate inflammatory processes, which are central to joint health and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Research indicates that omega-3s reduce the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines, thereby contributing to reduced joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Furthermore, some studies suggest that marine lipids may help preserve bone mineral density by influencing the balance between bone resorption and formation, potentially through effects on calcium metabolism and by reducing inflammation that can contribute to bone loss. However, while the evidence is strong for joint health, the data for direct effects on bone density are less robust but still promising. Overall, marine lipids are widely recognized in the scientific community as beneficial for certain aspects of the structural system, especially joint health, earning them a high evidence rating.
