Dietary Supplements Found to Reduce Aggression by Up to 28%: ScienceAlert
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a meta-analysis of small, previously conducted studies to examine the effects of supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids on aggression in humans.
The study looked at 29 trials involving a total of 3,918 people and found that all studies showed modest but significant short-term effects, with the supplement reducing aggression in humans by up to 28%, controlling for several different variables including age, sex, medical diagnosis, duration of treatment and dosage.
'The time has come to offer omega-3 supplements to reduce aggression, wherever you live or wherever you live,' said neurocriminologist Adrian Raine, who led the study. 'At the very least, parents seeking treatment for their aggressive children should know that, in addition to any treatment their child receives, encouraging them to eat an extra serving or two of fish each week can also be effective.'
In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has published a translation of materials from the US National Institutes of Health regarding omega-3 fatty acid supplements, which states, 'Incorporating seafood into your regular diet is good for your health. However, it is unclear whether omega-3 fatty acid supplements are effective. If you are considering taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements, consult with your medical staff. It is especially important to consult with your own or your child's medical staff if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medications that affect blood clotting, have an allergy to seafood, or are considering giving your child an omega-3 fatty acid supplement.'
