GummyTalk Forum

Hey all, so I've been chugging coffee like it's my job (because, well, it kinda is) and my sleep was a wreck. My doc suggested omega-3 gummies to help calm my nervous system and maybe get some better zzz's. Been on them for about 3 weeks now, and honestly my sleep is just... okay? BUT my skin is GLOWING. Like, I haven't had a breakout in weeks and my complexion looks smoother than it has in years. Anyone else get a totally different benefit than what they expected?

RootRose893, that's actually super common! Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory powerhouses. While they can support sleep by regulating neurotransmitters, the skin benefits come from reducing inflammation and supporting the skin barrier. I've been recommending them to my followers for joint health, but I get DMs all the time about improved skin texture and reduced redness. What brand are you using? Always curious about absorption rates with gummy forms.

Glad you're seeing benefits! Just a heads up—make sure your gummies are sustainably sourced. A lot of omega-3 comes from overfished stocks. Look for MSC certification or algae-based options (better for the oceans anyway). Also, less stress = happier planet, right? My partner started taking them for heart health and said her anxiety dropped noticeably. Maybe the skin thing is partly from being less stressed internally too.

OMG yes! I started giving them to my kiddos for brain development (pediatrician approved, don't worry!) and I decided to take them myself for the same reason. My focus is a bit better, but the real win? My joints don't ache after chasing the kids around all day. I'm like, is this what it feels like to be 25 again? Haha. RootRose893, maybe try taking them with a fat-rich snack like avocado to boost absorption for the sleep benefits too!
