for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce the synovial and neural inflammation contributing to carpal tunnel syndrome as a supportive adjunct.
How it works
EPA and DHA reduce leukotriene and prostaglandin-driven synovial tissue inflammation that compresses the median nerve. May reduce inflammatory oedema within the carpal tunnel.
What to watch for
Evidence specific to CTS is very limited — extrapolated from general anti-inflammatory literature. Not a replacement for primary CTS treatments. 2–3g/day EPA+DHA required for anti-inflammatory effect.
