Chronic Stress, the HPA Axis, and Omega-3: Anti-Inflammatory and Cortisol Effects (with honest limits)

Authors: Multiple

Published: January 1, 1970

Covers evidence that omega-3s suppress proinflammatory cytokines and can blunt cortisol responses to stress via the HPA axis - while transparently noting mixed human results, including a trial where chronic psychological stress was NOT ameliorated by EPA alone. Included deliberately to model BHERI's honest, applied-research approach to evidence.
