Omega-3 Fish Oil - 200 Softgel

Fish oil is one of the most commonly consumed dietary supplements.It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are very important for your health.If you don't eat a lot of oily fish, taking a fish oil supplement could help you get enough omega-3 fatty acids.

Fish oil is the fat or oil that's extracted from fish tissue.It usually comes from oily fish, such as herring, tuna, anchovies, and mackerel. Yet it's sometimes produced from the livers of other fish, as is the case with cod liver oil.The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating 1–2 portions of fish per week.

This is because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish provide many health benefits, including protection against a number of diseases.However, if you don't eat 1–2 servings of fish per week, fish oil supplements can help you get enough omega-3s.Around 30% of fish oil is made up of omega-3s, while the remaining 70% is made up of other fats. What’s more, fish oil usually contains some vitamin A and D.

It's important to note that the types of omega-3s found in fish oil have greater health benefits than the omega-3s found in some plant sources.
The main omega-3s in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the omega-3 in plant sources is mainly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
