A new study published in JAMA Cardiology found that nearly 74% of labels on fish oil supplements provided at least one health benefit. Of those, only 19% used a Food and Drug Administration -approved health claim. The rest of the labels included broad claims that may not be supported by solid scientific evidence.
Labels can include two types of claims for health benefits: one qualified claim can mention a supplement’s potential to treat or prevent disease and must be approved by the FDA, while the second claim can describe how a supplement supports health, but must stop short of saying it prevents, treats, or cures any disease, says the Post.
Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish, such as salmon and mackerel, provide health benefits, and some research has also found that supplements are effective. For example, studies have shown that DHA and EPA given in a combined supplement at prescription levels, improved cognitive function in older adults with coronary heart disease.
Dr. Matthew Budoff, a leading cardiologist at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, and board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology, has performed many studies on omega-3 fatty acids and cardiovascular health.
