Micronutrients & recovery
Daily supplementation with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA, 250 mg/day) supports the resolution of inflammation via specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), potentially ameliorating lung injury and ARDS.
Take 250 mg of combined EPA and DHA daily to support healthy inflammation resolution. This helps your body clear infections and recover from lung stress more effectively.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
An intake of 250 mg EPA + DHA per day is recommended... These molecules, along with others, function together to orchestrate the resolution of inflammation and to support healing, including in the respiratory tract
Why this rating
Based on animal models and Cochrane reviews of human trials in ARDS, but less direct evidence for general population prevention compared to Vit C/D.
