THREAD: Started Omega-3 for sleep, but wow... unexpected side effect!Started by OP

Hey everyone, so I started taking omega-3 gummies about a month ago because I was having trouble falling asleep. My friend said it helped her, so I gave it a shot. Honestly, my sleep is maybe a *little* better? But here's the weird thing: my skin has never looked clearer! I used to get random breakouts and dry patches, but now it's just... glowing? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not complaining, just surprised!

Interesting observation, OP! Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are known to reduce inflammation systemically. While sleep benefits are often linked to improved circadian rhythms via DHA's role in melatonin pathways, the skin improvement makes perfect sense. EPA helps regulate oil production and hydration by supporting cell membranes. A 2018 study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology showed a 30% reduction in acne lesions with omega-3 supplementation. Are you taking a brand with a high EPA ratio? That might explain the skin effect outpacing sleep changes.

The body works in mysterious, holistic ways ✨ I've seen this with clients—starting a supplement for one intention, but the universe delivers what you *truly* need first. Your skin clearing suggests your body was craving anti-inflammatory support to release stored toxins. Try pairing the gummies with evening meditation to align the sleep benefits; sometimes the mind needs to catch up to the body's healing! Blessings on your journey 🙏

Okay but are these gummies actually safe? My kids keep begging for 'the cute fish ones' after seeing ads, but I'm skeptical. OP, did you check the sugar content? And AlphaAdam, those studies—were they on gummies or just pure oil? I worry these are just expensive candy with a health halo. My sister took omega-3 for joint pain and said it did nothing except give her fishy burps (gross).

Dude, YES on the skin thing! I started omega-3 gummies last year for joint support during marathon training (50+ miles/week). Sleep got a bit deeper, but my recovery time improved AND my sunspots actually faded? My dermatologist said it's probably the anti-inflammatory action reducing UV damage over time. Pro tip: take them with a meal to avoid stomach weirdness. Also, EarthElias485—I get the sugar concern, but my brand uses stevia. Maybe try a sample pack?
