Some people have inflammatory type of pcos in which there are high levels of CRP C reactive protein in their body.You can check what type of pcos you have by having a look herehttps://pcostreatment323.blogspot.com/2020/07/types-of-pcos.html
You can even test it if you have more than normal number of CRP in your body.
Studies have shown that omega 3s reduces the level of CRP in your body hence reduces inflammation.
Lowers testosterone levels
High insulin level in the body is a positive sign for the ovaries to make more testosterone thus increasing the level of androgens in the body which is extremely bad for pcos.As omega 3s reduces insulin resistance it helps lowering the level of androgens in the body.
Can reverse fatty liver
Omega 3s lowers the risk of fatty liver by reducng bad cholesterol in the body.It reduces triglycerides in the body thus improves health and aids in weight loss.

It also improves acne which is also a major concern of women with pcos.
Moreover it also improves mood and anxiety that occurs due to hormonal imbalance in pcos.
