Eating fatty fish is associated with brain health but multiple studies show that supplements don't have the same effect. The latest study was published just last week.

Alarmingly, another study from last month showed that fish oil supplements ACTUALLY ACCELERATED COGNITIVE DECLINE in older adults. Just read the Conclusions if you want to skip all the medical jargon.

As for cardiovascular health, once again, eating fatty fish is beneficial but supplements don't seem to do much for healthy individuals. For people with cardiovascular risks, e.g. high triglycerides or heart disease, prescription doses do show benefits. But fish oil supplements may also increase the risk of atrial fibrilation, stroke and bleeding. In other words, it may actually harm the heart. For that reason and the questionable benefits, we do not recommend fish oil supplements to healthy patients.
Here's one study associating fish oil supplements with atrial fibrillation:

Botton line: Fatty fish and fish oil supplements seem to behave differently in the body. If you have cardiovascular risks, supplements do decrease morbidity and mortality. Take it under the supervision of a physician. But if you're healthy, there is no reason to take it and it may even harm you.

The researchers admit that they have no information on what fish oils and omega-3s the supplements contained and what doses people took.
Participants were only asked if they 'regularly' used fish oil supplements at the beginning of the study. This could have been daily for some people, but a few times a week for others.
Also, we do not know how many people carried on taking the supplements throughout the study. Furthermore, as the study was observational, there may have been other factors affecting participants' heart and circulatory disease risk.
For example, the study found people who took fish oil supplements were less likely to smoke.
As smoking increases the risk of a heart attack, these people would have been at lower risk of having a heart attack than those that smoked.
One strength of the study is its size, with data from over 400,000 people.
However, this group was not diverse, with 95 per cent of participants of White ethnicity.
This means the results could be different for people of other ethnicities."

If you want more information, do your own research and look up other studies that also show negative results. It's as simple as looking at the bibliography. You can nitpick the minutae in any study. But you haven't explained why no positive results were seen, despite the flaws and imperfections. Which flaw would suppress positive results?
Look up the AMA's recommendations for fish oil. Or the American Heart Association. Google is free. Or just ask your physician on the latest guidelines. Why do you think it's not recommended? Think about it.
your sciencedirect link is an observational study. it didn't prove causation.
Do you know what we do in medical research? We look for endpoints. Who do you think evaluate patients for effects, whether positive or adverse? Physicians. They are on the frontlines, the direct interface to patients. Interventional fish oil studies have markers, e.g. blood tests, ECGs to evaluate heart health and neuroimaging for brain health. Who do you think reads and interprets the results? Yep, physicians. Are you claiming they wouldn't know the effects of supplements when they are first ones look at the patient's objective data?
And guess what, they also read medical journals for the latest research. And they interface with the CDC, NIH, FDA, etc so they're up to date on adverse events as well as efficacy.
"I think you're wanting to talk to some type of research scientist instead."
I do. Daily. In fact, I'm surrounded by them because I'm a researcher myself (neurophysiology).
The rest of your rant has nothing worth addressing. If you want to have a serious discussion, let's do it. But first educate yourself on fish oil research and medical research, in general.
This is the meta-analysis of existing studies that formed the AMA's recommendations.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/...ct/1357266
Here's the large scale STRENGTH study that caused the American Heart Association to recommend against healthy people taking fish oil supplements. They point out that fish oil supplements are not only ineffective but that they can also cause atrial fibrillation. They further added that previous studies showed the same risk.
• The medication did not reduce the risk of cardiac events compared to a corn oil-based placebo in the STRENGTH trial.
• An abnormal heart rhythm, known as atrial fibrillation, occurred more frequently in participants taking the medication, much like other previous studies evaluating similar medications."
I wish the the supplement industry is more regulated and that long term studies, observational or interventional, are conducted across major universities and clinics because most of the population currently ingests some or the other supplement.
How many scientific studies have been conducted that fish oil or other supplements actually lead to a benefit in whatever the label claims or other online health/fitness influencers rave about? A lot of nutritional science is feel-good science of popping pills with various things which even taken together may not function the same as in isolation or, even worse, may actually harm a person over the long term.
