Does omega‑3 actually improve mood?

Omega‑3 (EPA/DHA) fish oil is studied for mood support, with the strongest signal in higher‑EPA formulas — but effects are gradual and individual.

1–10 SUBJECTIVE RATINGONE VARIABLENULLS REPORTED

THE COMPARISON — ONE VARIABLE CHANGES

A · OMEGA‑3The days with omega‑3. Everything else in your routine stays exactly as it normally is — one variable is what makes the difference readable.

B · BASELINEYour normal days, nothing changed. These are the control your omega‑3 days are measured against.

Everything else stays as normal — one variable is what makes the difference readable.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYSMeta‑analyses suggest omega‑3s (especially higher‑EPA) may modestly support mood, though results are mixed and benefits build over weeks.Slow onset + mixed averages make it a textbook self‑test: track your daily mood over a longer trial against your normal diet.

THE ~45-DAY PROTOCOL — SINGLE VARIABLE, WITH WASHOUTOmega‑3 builds up over weeks, so an honest read needs a ~45-day run with a washout. That washout-aware scheduling isn't live yet — the start button waits until the protocol can run honestly.

01Rate one thing. Each morning: your mood, 1–10. Five seconds. Subjective on purpose — it's your outcome, not a wearable's.

02Context rides along. Sleep duration and screen time from Apple Health / Health Connect add context if you connect them. Optional, never required.

03A verdict that admits uncertainty. Likely helped · no clear difference · likely made it worse — with how confident, not just which. Too few clean days? The app says so instead of rounding up.
