You might have heard many benefits of using fish oil but the recent researchers have given a very amazing results and this is that adding fish oil to intravenous solution proved beneficial for the intensive care patients with the potentially lethal blood infection known as Sepsis.

This study was actually published on Jan 19 in the journal critical care and it compared 13 patients who have received the fish oil in the Normal IV nutrient solution who were having Sepsis and 10 patients were those who received normal solution.

The results were really exciting because those who had taken fish oil in their treatment have reduced levels of inflammatory chemicals in their blood and achieved better lung functions as compared to those who had the traditional treatment.

While talking about the findings of this research researcher Philip Calder, of the University of Southampton in England said that “This is the first study of this particular fish oil solution in septic patients in the ICU. The positive results are important since they indicate that the use of such an emulsion in this group of patients will improve clinical outcomes, in comparison with the standard mix”. This research could be called the pioneer one to find the benefits of fish oil and it is expected that we’ll see other such researches giving some more advantages of fish oil.
