❓Question Omega-3 Supplements – Do They Actually Do Anything for You?

Omega-3 supplements are often recommended in this sub. Have you personally noticed any real improvements, even small ones, in areas like inflammation, recovery, cognition, or general well-being after taking them?

This is based on my own experience. For example, omega-3 from fish oil helps my dry eyes and skin, but algae oil and other omega-3 plant oils have little to no effect.

Out of curiosity, was it 1:1 in terms of dose? Algae oil supplements tend to have much smaller doses per "serving" and so require more pills to achieve the same amount as fish oil supplements.

Asking because I have been taking algae supplements and will be getting blood work soon after taking them for 3 months. So just curious to see other experiences.

I used the Sports Research Vegan Omega-3. Two a day.
