Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Marine lipids, particularly those rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as EPA and DHA from fish oil), have been investigated for their potential benefits in stress management. Scientific evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids play a role in brain health by modulating neurotransmitter function, reducing inflammation, and potentially influencing the body’s stress response. Several small-scale randomized controlled trials and observational studies have examined the impact of omega-3 supplementation on perceived stress, anxiety, and mood. Some studies report modest reductions in self-reported stress and anxiety, while others find no significant effect. Meta-analyses typically conclude that while there may be a small benefit for stress and mood, the overall quality of evidence is low to moderate due to heterogeneity among studies, varying dosages, and short durations.

There is no historical or traditional use of "marine lipids" per se for stress, but the use of fish and marine oils as part of a healthy diet is well established. The hypothetical mechanisms relate to the regulation of cortisol and inflammatory cytokines, both associated with the stress response. Leading health authorities recognize the general benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular and brain health, but do not specifically endorse marine lipids for stress reduction due to limited and inconsistent evidence. Therefore, there is some scientific support, but it is not robust, and more high-quality research is required.
