Fish Oil Supplements

Fish oil is an excellent source of the healthy fats known as the Omega 3. These oils are derived from oily fish such as salmon, cod and tuna, and are rich in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Unfortunately, these fish in their natural form may contain high levels of toxic substances due to water pollution. That is where fish oil supplements are superior. Supplementing with these fish oils offer much the same benefits as the essential fatty acid (EFA) supplements, including:

• Anti-cancer benefits
• Improving brain development and health
• Aiding in cardiovascular function
• Reducing inflammation

It can be argued that of the three EFAs, the Omega 3s are the most important, and these fish oil supplements provide an abundance of this healthy fat.
