Conclusão

Moderate evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may help support hair recovery in telogen effluvium, though the research base is limited and they are usually studied alongside other nutrients.

  • 8 out of 11 studies show positive effects, but total sample size is small (317 participants)
  • Often studied as part of multi-nutrient supplement formulations
  • No large-scale RCTs specifically for omega-3 and telogen effluvium
  • May support recovery through anti-inflammatory and nutritional mechanisms
