A combination supplement containing omega-3 (300 mg EPA/200 mg DHA), vitamin C (200 mg) and zinc (15 mg) may improve symptoms of childhood asthma. The trio of nutrients were associated with improvements in asthma measures, lung function, and markers of inflammation in the lungs, according to findings of a randomized, double blind, placebo-self-controlled crossover trial published in Acta Pædiatrica. The study adds to a growing body of science linking fish consumption and fruit and vegetable intakes to a reduction in the risk or asthma, or improvements in the symptoms associated with the condition.
Bonnie - these three nutrients all have antiinflammatory properties, so the results of this study should not come as a surprise.
