Does high-dose omega-3 fatty acid supplementation affect platelet aggregation and coagulation in healthy volunteers?
High-dose omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for 10 days does not significantly affect platelet aggregation or coagulation in healthy volunteers.
Bagge et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=12). High-dose omega-3 fatty acids vs. Baseline (before treatment) was evaluated on Platelet aggregation and coagulation. High-dose omega-3 fatty acids (2520 mg/day) for 10 days had no effect on platelet aggregation or coagulation in healthy volunteers compared to baseline.
