Omega-3 LC-PUFAs exert anti-inflammatory effects by generating specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) like resolvins, protectins, and maresins, which actively promote the resolution of inflammation rather than just suppressing it.
Omega-3s do more than just reduce swelling; they help your body actively resolve inflammation and return to normal function through specialized mediators called SPMs. This supports long-term health in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
