Extracted from salmon, mackerel, and sardines, fish oil delivers concentrated EPA and DHA omega-3s. These fatty acids are essential for many body processes.
Many take fish oil for heart, joint, and skin health. Others use it for mood balance and cognitive support.
Omega-3s are fat-soluble, so taking fish oil with a meal improves absorption. You can buy it in softgels or liquid.
Fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect. Talk to a doctor before combining it with anticoagulant drugs. High doses sometimes cause fishy burps or digestive upset.
