Natural
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
for Shoulder Pain
Omega-3 supplementation may reduce shoulder tendon and bursa inflammation through anti-inflammatory mechanisms, particularly for rotator cuff tendinopathy.
How it works
EPA and DHA reduce leukotriene and prostaglandin production in inflamed shoulder tendons and bursae. May reduce matrix metalloproteinase activity that degrades tendon collagen.
What to watch for
Evidence specific to shoulder pain is limited — extrapolated from general tendon and inflammatory pain literature. Anti-inflammatory doses (2–3g/day EPA+DHA) required.
