Omega 3-fatty acid 3 month intervention for male adults who are overweight or obese.

Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for other metabolic diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids and their derivatives have anti-inflammatory properties but are reduced in people who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (SPM Active) for 3 months can effectively increase the biological levels of its lipid components in adult males who are overweight or obese. Additionally, we will determine if supplementation with SPM Active can improve mental health outcomes, as measured by validated surveys.
