Regular consumption of fish oil has proven to be very effective in protecting against the severe effects of the coronavirus. This conclusion was made by researchers from the UK.
Surveying more than 110,000 people with an average age of 55 has shown that supplemental fish oil provides some protection against the severe effects of the coronavirus. The authors of the study estimated hospitalizations and deaths due to coronavirus based on hospital data updated to September 30, 2021. Proportional risk models were also used.
Scientists have found that fish oil protects our brain
A total of 29,424 people regularly used fish oil supplements. After controlling for all other possible factors, fish oil intake has been shown to be consistently associated with a reduced risk of hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19. But no increased risk of infection with coronavirus due to fish oil has been noted.

Study sheds light on the biological mechanisms that determine the benefits of fish oil. Its main ingredient is omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. They weaken the response of the immune system of the lungs after bacterial and viral infections, which is extremely important in coronavirus, which is precisely characterized by cytokine storms or immune system rebellion.
