It is the first global study of national and international omega-3 intake recommendations across all life stages for generally healthy people.

It doesn't take much to increase your levels. A study from The Journal of Nutrition found that as little as two portions of fish per week or omega-3 supplementation are effective strategies for increasing your omega-3 index.

Emerging Allergens and New Reactions

From eNewsletter 3/11/2026

DID YOU KNOW that two new studies point to inflammatory mediators called leukotrienes as key steps in anaphylactic food allergen reactions and asthma onset, making the molecules worth more scrutiny?

While researchers will focus on blocking leukotrienes response, here are leukotrine mediators, which reduce the reactions without blocking them:

• Boswellia serrata

• Quercetin

• Luteolin

• Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA)

• N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

• Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols)

• Magnesium

On another note, if you suspect you have IgE food allergies (different from IgG food intolerances) and want to test for them, it's always better to test when allergy season is not virulent. Spring pollen season has already started in some parts of the country and will locally at the end of March.

The protective effect was strongest with intake 12-16 years before diagnosis, especially from supplemental sources.
