Fish Oil May Be the Key To Reducing the Frequency of Epileptic Seizures

Findings revealed that low-dose fish oil treatments carried low-dose fish oil treatments with an average of 12 seizures per month; participants on the high-dose fish oil plan had an average of 17 seizures per month; while those taking the placebo had an average of 18 seizures per month.

On the other hand, two in the low-dose group were actually seizure free during 10 weeks of treatment while no one from the other group became seizure-free.
Researchers also found that low-dose fish oil also helped to reduce blood pressure. However, high-dose fish oil in general was not associated with any changes in severity of seizures or blood fat levels.
“Low dose fish oil is a safe and low cost intervention that may reduce seizures and improve cardiovascular health in people with epilepsy,” the authors concluded according to the press release.
More information regarding the findings can be seen via the British Medical Journal.
