Omega-3 supplements may lower blood pressure within three months, study finds

A recent study has found that taking daily omega-3 supplements may lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation, with results seen within three months.

The study involved men and women aged 21 to 70 who had high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol levels. Participants received two daily tablets, each containing 1,000 mg of a high-purity pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 supplement.

Researchers have previously shown that EPA and DHA help maintain healthy blood pressure, heart function, and blood lipid levels. Studies suggest these compounds may lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels and reducing systemic inflammation, according to Russia Today.

Experts note that while supplements may offer modest support in lowering blood pressure, they are not a substitute for medication or medical advice. The appropriate dosage depends on diet and individual health, and further research is needed to confirm the long-term benefits and risks.
