Current evidence indicates that fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids support joint health by reducing inflammation, protecting cartilage, and helping to alleviate symptoms of degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis.
The retrieved literature contains multiple recent reviews and studies (such as papers 2, 3, 4, and 11) demonstrating that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil possess anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties beneficial for joint health and osteoarthritis management. No papers in the provided set refute this relationship, so the claim is supported.
