About Fish Oil

Fish oil contains two types of omega 3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (called DHA for short) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Research has shown that that taking fish oil supplements can lower the levels of triglycerides in the body, which results in a reduced risk of heart attack, death, strokes and hardening of the arteries. In addition, fish oil can help to lower blood pressure.[1]

Evidence suggests that it is possible to take too much fish oil, and doing so can actually increase the risk of stroke.[2] This is one reason that experts recommend consulting with a physician before beginning any supplement regimen.

The same benefits of taking fish oil can also be obtained by including fish in the diet; however, those who are averse to the taste of fish or simply do not wish to include it in their routine may choose supplements as an alternative.
