Fish Oil Supplementation: How Long Will Visible Benefits Be Noticed?

Dear Pharmacist, I would like to know how long after starting supplementation with fish oil the blood-thinning (anti-platelet aggregation) and anti-inflammatory effects become noticeable.



Dear Carlo,


The beneficial effects associated with fish oil supplementation, and therefore the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contained in it, can be gradually observed over a period of 8 weeks of supplementation.

I remain available for any further questions on the topic.


Best regards, Dr. Rosaria Ramondino, Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
