[Used for] 2 Stars Cystic Fibrosis 2.7 grams of EPA daily [Why] 
The impaired fat digestion in people with cystic fibrosis often leads to a deficiency of essential fatty acids, which may lead to increased risk of respiratory infection. This deficiency may be reversed by fish oil supplementation. The impaired digestion of fats in people with CF often leads to a deficiency of essential fatty acids. This deficiency may in turn lead to lowered immune function , which makes people with CF more susceptible to respiratory infection.63 This deficiency may be reversed by supplementation with corn oil (1 gram per 2.2 pounds body weight per day),64safflower oil (1 gram per 2.2 pounds body weight per day),65 linoleic acid (7.7 grams per day),66 and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA from fish oil ) (2.7 grams per day).67 EPA supplementation was particularly effective. In a double-blind trial, six weeks of supplementation with 2.7 grams of EPA per day led to a reduction in sputum and improvement in lung function in children with chronic respiratory infection due to CF.68
