5 Surprising Benefits of Omega 3 Supplements You Didn’t Know

Omega 3 fatty acids are the all-rounders of the supplement world! Supporting everything from heart health to skin hydration. But beyond the usual benefits, these essential fats have some unexpected advantages that may just convince you to add them to your daily routine.

Whether you’re looking to support skin health, flexibility, mood, or even sleep and libido, here are five lesser-known reasons to start taking an omega 3 supplement today.

1. Omega 3 May Slow the Signs of Ageing

Before diving into extreme wellness trends like cryotherapy or biohacking facials, consider a simpler, science-backed step: omega 3 supplementation.

Omega 3s like EPA and DHA support longevity by reducing inflammation, protecting brain function, and regulating blood pressure. But they also offer external benefits – nourishing skin cells, helping to repair the skin barrier, and improving moisture retention from within.

The result? Skin that looks more youthful, radiant and hydrated, naturally.

2. Omega 3 Can Help Support Joint Flexibility and Mobility

Stiff muscles? Tight joints? Adding omega fatty acids to your wellness routine may help.

“Omegas can reduce inflammation in the body,” says Lorraine Perretta, Head of Nutrition. “It starts off as alpha lipoic acid, ALA. This converts to EPA and DHA. We love these, as they convert to anti-inflammatories. We don’t want inflammation in the body, which leads to various health and skin concerns, including inflammageing.” 

By easing inflammation and lubricating joints, omega 3s may improve mobility and help you move more freely – from your workouts to everyday movement.

3. Omega Fatty Acids May Boost Your Sex Drive

In addition to helping your joints move with ease, omega 3s are also thought to support sexual wellness.

How? They encourage the production of dopamine (the feel-good hormone) and serotonin (linked to desire and emotional connection), both of which play a role in arousal and mood.

Emerging research suggests omega 3 fatty acids may:

• Enhance arousal and sexual performance
• Improve orgasm quality
• Support healthy semen production in men

4. Omega 3 May Improve Sleep Quality

Struggling with restlessness or poor sleep? Adding omega 3 fatty acids to your supplement regime could make a noticeable difference.

Research links higher blood levels of DHA (an omega 3 found in the brain) with better sleep patterns and increased duration. Better sleep means better skin regeneration, balanced hormones, and improved energy throughout the day.

Tip: Instead of counting sheep, try counting your omega capsules before bed.

5. Omega 3 Can Help Balance Your Mood

Did you know your brain is nearly 60% fat – and omega 3s are some of the most important fats it needs?

Your brain thrives on nutrients that help regulate emotions, focus, and memory. Several studies show that omega 3 supplementation may help stabilise mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, and support mental clarity.

This makes omega 3s a valuable addition to any mental wellness or brain health routine.
