Fish oil has fairly consistent support for joint symptoms, mainly in rheumatoid arthritis. A review of 20 trials in 1,252 people found better disease activity and lower inflammation after at least 3 months, though trial quality was low [1]. A review of 10 placebo-controlled trials found fewer tender joints and less morning stiffness after 3 months [2], and a review of 23 trials found a modest benefit on swelling, pain and stiffness [3]. A review of 42 arthritis trials found modest pain relief in rheumatoid arthritis but not in osteoarthritis [4]. In 152 overweight older adults, fish oil eased osteoarthritis pain over 16 weeks [5], and in 291 heart patients a year of high-dose fish oil improved joint scores and function [6]. Results are not all positive: a 5-year trial of 1,398 older adults found no drop in knee pain [7], a 2024 review of 23 trials found only small, uncertain gains [8], and a 2-year knee trial found high doses no better than low doses [9]. This product gives 1,000 milligrams of fish oil, a studied dose, but its 300 milligrams of total omega-3 fats is well below the 3 grams used in some trials, and several positive trials used much higher doses [6]. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Global customer feedback for Blackmores Fish Oil Odourless 1000mg consistently highlights several qualitative themes, primarily revolving around the product's palatability and perceived health benefits. A dominant positive theme is the "odourless" nature of the capsules, with numerous users expressing satisfaction that there is no fishy aftertaste or unpleasant reflux, which is often a significant deterrent with other fish oil supplements. This feature is frequently cited as a key reason for continued use and preference for the Blackmores brand. Customers frequently report experiencing tangible health improvements across various domains. Many users praise its effectiveness for eye health, noting a reduction in dryness and improved comfort. The supplement is also commonly lauded for its positive impact on skin health, with some users observing a noticeable improvement in their complexion. For those monitoring their cardiovascular health, feedback often includes observations of maintained or improved cholesterol levels. Individuals seeking relief from joint discomfort or mild osteoarthritis have also reported a reduction in joint pain and inflammation, contributing to better mobility and overall comfort. Beyond specific ailments, a recurring sentiment is an overall enhancement in general wellbeing, with users feeling more energetic and healthier. The perceived high quality and purity of the product are also strong positive themes. Customers appreciate that the fish oil is sourced from wild-caught small fish and undergoes rigorous testing for contaminants like mercury, dioxins, and PCBs, instilling confidence in its safety and efficacy. The convenience of the capsule form and the ease of incorporating it into a daily routine are also frequently mentioned as beneficial aspects. While some customers acknowledge the product might be perceived as "expensive," this is often immediately followed by statements affirming its "worth the money" due to the positive results experienced. Occasional feedback also touches upon efficient delivery and good customer service from retailers, contributing to a positive overall purchasing experience. The primary qualitative takeaway is that the odourless characteristic significantly enhances user compliance, leading to consistent intake and subsequent appreciation of its diverse health benefits.
Biohacker Summary
Members Only7 of 10 recommend it
7 of 10 biohackers on our panel recommend it
Omega-3 fatty acids are only a smaller ingredient in this product, and the panel talks about them mostly as a general nutrient, not this product. Most of the panel recommends or uses omega-3s, citing heart and triglyceride support, brain health, lower inflammation, skin, fertility and slower biological aging, while a few stay neutral and one noted the research for hard heart outcomes is not very strong. Doses come up often: one gram a day, two to four grams of combined EPA and DHA, and one to three grams a day for fertility, with one saying it takes about two grams a day to raise a low omega-3 index. Many prefer oily fish such as salmon and sardines, and for supplements they suggest a triglyceride form for absorption and a brand with independent third-party testing for purity and freshness, with one warning that standard capsules often give too little EPA and DHA. Omega-3s were paired with vitamin D and strength training by one panelist, and no one reported stopping because of a problem.

Dr. Eric Berg · Omega-3 Fatty Acids · recommends
- Recommends wild-caught salmon as a healthy food to eat every day, noting it contains about 2000 mg of omega-3s in just 3 ounces.
- Recommends wild salmon as it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and support brain health and cognitive function, especially important as one ages.
- Recommends DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, as a natural remedy that, along with sweet wormwood, can trigger iron into an explosion to hit cancer.
- Dr. Eric Berg mentions that sardines are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health and metabolism.
- Mentions that wild salmon, specifically half a fillet, has 970 mg of potassium, zero carbohydrates, a good amount of magnesium, and is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids.
- Discusses what would happen if one consumed omega-3 fatty acids every day for 30 days, highlighting their benefits for brain health, heart health, and various conditions like dry eyes, dermatitis, and high blood pressure, as well as supporting calcium absorption and promoting better sleep.
- Recommends getting plenty of omega-3 fatty acids to support joint and metabolic health.
- Recommends consuming foods rich in vitamin D, including fatty fish, to boost vitamin D levels.
- Recommends fatty fish as the best type of protein for inflammation.

Siim Land · Omega-3 Fatty Acids · recommends
- Recommends taking omega-3s, including EPA and DHA, with a fat-containing meal to increase absorption.
- Increased his omega-3 intake to achieve a higher omega-3 index, which is associated with greater insulin sensitivity and better metabolic health markers.
- Increased his omega-3 index to 9.5% and notes that omega-3s have strong evidence for reducing elevated triglycerides.
- Mentions that EPA and DHA Omega-3s support heart and brain function and can lower triglycerides, with a higher omega-3 index associated with lower heart disease, Alzheimer's and mortality risk.
- Recommends Omega-3s for triglycerides and cardiovascular health, based primarily on human research, especially randomized controlled trials showing measurable benefits.
- Recommends choosing an omega-3 supplement from a brand that uses independent third-party testing and publishes a recent certificate of analysis, verifying EPA and DHA amounts, and testing for heavy metals, contaminants, and oxidation markers.
- Lists Omega-3s as one of 15 supplements backed by human studies.
- Explains that omega-3s can alter mitochondrial membranes and have broader cardiometabolic effects, making mitochondria more responsive to cellular signaling and oxidative stress from exercise, but they don't increase maximal mitochondrial respiration.
- Notes that 75% of people aren't meeting the daily recommendation for omega-3s and that Japanese people eat 2-3x more omega-3s per day than Americans or Europeans, which reflects in their higher omega-3 index.
- Thinks omega-3s have some of the strongest evidence and are worth considering.
