Fish Oil

Fish oil is a major source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered “essential” because your body doesn’t produce them on its own. In other words, you need to consume these particular fatty acids from food and/or nutritional supplements. The major providers of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the human diet are fish. Unfortunately, eating large amounts of fish is a growing health concern due to noxious heavy metals and environmental toxins that tend to accumulate in marine ecosystems.
