DHA
The omega-3 fatty acid DHA set off programmed death of fat cells inside living fat tissue, the nucleus condensing as the apoptosis proteins rose; shown in grass carp, a fish.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
In a six-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial of adults 55 and over, supplemental DHA reached the brain: DHA in the fluid around it rose 28 percent against placebo.
Algal omega-3 gets fat cells to dismantle their own worn-out mitochondria — measured in living animals, and abolished when the receptor it works through is blocked.
Pooled randomized trials show DHA meaningfully lowers triglycerides over the long term.
DHA lowers fat synthesis in the liver and raises the burning of dietary fat — in the same men, at the same time.
Builds pliant membranes into heart muscle, steadying the rhythm and easing triglycerides down.
Measured in people: pooled randomized trials show meaningful long-term triglyceride lowering.
The omega-3 fat DHA quiets an inflammatory switch in cultured immune cells by working through SIRT1.
