INSIGHT

Omega-3s End Inflammation Signals

  • Omega-3s are essential pro-resolving signals that help turn inflammation off and stabilize cell membranes.
  • Malabsorption, low intake and congested bile/liver raise demand and cause omega-3 deficiency in IBD.
ADVICE

Pick Low-Oxidation Fish Oil And Aid Bile

  • Take high-quality fish oil with low TOTOX (ideally <10) or use sardines, anchovies, or cod liver oil.
  • Improve bile flow (e.g., ox bile, TUDCA) if absorption is poor before blaming supplements.
ADVICE

Restore Magnesium With Bioavailable Forms

  • Use absorbable magnesium forms like glycinate, malate, or threonate rather than citrate if you have GI issues.
  • Supplement short-term at therapeutic doses (600–1200 mg) and consider Epsom soaks as adjunctive absorption.
