Omega-3 and Osteoporosis: Still More Questions Than Answers

by admin on December 27, 2008

Can Omega-3 help ease the effects of Osteoporosis?  Research conducted for the Office of Dietary Supplements at the U.S. National Institutes of Health doesn’t provide a clear yes or no answer.

Five different studies have produced data that suggest the effects of Omega-3 fatty acids on mineral density of the bone are different.


But a somewhat different story comes from Sweden, where scientists found a connection between Omega-3 consumption and Bone Marrow Density.

The bottom line: no conclusive scientific evidence presently exists to support a claim that Omega-3 can prevent or ease the effects of Osteoporosis.
