The decrease in symptoms of lupus as assessed by SLAM-R and BILAG at times reaches up to 50% symptom reduction and tends to exceed 30%, and the first pilot studies noted remission in all subjects (although they have not been replicated since). Oddly, benefit may come from lower doses (160mg EPA and 140mg DHA) with higher doses conferring less benefit
