I read reports that fish oil with omega 3 can reduce anxiety also it can raise anxiety levels in some people.?
what is the truth? will it reduce or raise your anxiety?
Well, Fish Oil doesn’t directly help with stress, but it does help with brain health and cardiovascular health among other things. I suppose if you can breathe easier, it could help with stress… and helping brain chemicals can help calm people down. I haven’t seen any reports that raising anxiety is common with Fish Oil, but some people may stress out if they can taste fish on their breath when they need fresh breath, I suppose.
If you are worried about stress, there are some natural products for stress and anxiety. Some of the most popular are GABA, L-Theanine, Rhodiola Rosea, 5-HTP, and L-Tryptophan.
Also, cutting caffeine and sugar will help, but doing some moderate exercise (walking, jogging, etc) can help quite a bit as well. Good luck and I hope I helped!

doubt it helps with either. It is good for brain health in general, same with heart health and joints. It also occurs naturally in fish, walnuts, flax seeds, soy, pumpkin seeds, winter squash and other sources.
