What is the purpose of the study?
This study is designed to examine how supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (key fish oil components) affects aspects of your immune response, and your mood; because some research suggests that people who eat more fish may do better during stressful times. The study will also examine how fish oil affects your immune response to stress, certain stress hormone responses and your psychological response to stress.

What does the study involve?
Study participation involves taking capsules for 4 months and completing 6 appointments (for a total of 19.5 hours) at the Clinical Research Center (CRC). All appointments must take place in the mornings on weekdays.
