Research shows that fish oil partially reduces reactions to allergens that can trigger asthma attacks. It has also been shown in one study to prevent exercise-induced asthma attacks. Double-blind research shows that fish oil partially reduces reactions to allergens that can trigger attacks in some asthmatics.29 Another double-blind study showed that fish oil supplements prevented exercise-induced asthma attacks in people with asthma.30 A few other researchers have reported small but significant improvements when asthmatics supplement with fish oil,31 , 32 but reviews of the research concluded that most fish oil studies showed little or no benefit.33 , 34 It is possible that some of these trials failed to show an improvement because they did not last long enough to demonstrate an effect. There is evidence that children who eat oily fish may have a much lower risk of getting asthma.35 Moreover, in a double-blind trial, children who received 300 mg per day of fish oil (providing 84 mg of EPA and 36 mg of DHA) experienced significant improvement of asthma symptoms.36 It should be noted that these benefits were obtained under circumstances in which exposure to food allergens and environmental allergens was strictly controlled. Though the evidence supporting the use of fish oil remains somewhat conflicting, eating more fish and supplementing with fish oil may still be worth considering, especially among children with asthma.
