Omega-3 supplementation can reduce aggression in community, clinical, or criminal justice settings.

“The benefit was broadly consistent across children and adults, males and females, community and clinical samples, and across different doses and treatment durations.”

“The authors even concluded that there is now “sufficient evidence” to begin implementing omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression in the community, the clinic, or the criminal justice system.”

“A meta-analysis of 29 studies and nearly 4,000 participants found that omega-3 supplementation reduced aggressive behavior by up to 28%.”

“It also helped with both reactive/impulsive and proactive/planned aggression.”

“A double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial finds omega-3 supplementation (1 g per day) for 6 months reduces disruptive and aggressive behavior in children compared to those given placebo.”

“isn't the first to find a link between omega-3 intake and reductions in aggressive behavior.”
