Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, researchers examined the omega-3 supplementation by oral capsule for patients with Crohn's disease (CD).

According to the results of the anthropometric and blood tests,
* There were no side effects with the quantity of the injection.* The application did not alter the body weight and body-mass index in the participants.
* Most importantly, according to the CD activity index, participants showed a decrease in the scores after ingested one bottle of the formulation.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Supplementation with an omega-3 emulsifying formulation can be safe and useful for maintaining remission in patients with CD and warrants further studies".
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
