Researchers have explored several potential health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil. Some recent studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation can improve lung function in athletes. In this particular study, participants who consumed 1000 mg of an omega-3 fatty acid supplement for 3 months experienced improvements in their FVC (20% forced vital capacity) and 10% in their maximum voluntary ventilation.
Other researchers have found that omega-3 supplements may reduce breast cancer risk in women. With long-term and current use, this risk may be reduced by 32%. Further research is required in this is to confirm these results.
Another recent study found that omega-3 fatty acid consumption in women was linked to a lower risk of endometriosis with a reduced risk of up to 22% compared to those who consumed the least amount.
