What are fish oil supplements? How they help you?

Oil from fatty fish such as salmon, sardine, and mackerel is available as omega-3 supplement either as capsules or in oil form. They contain two essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA. As little as 2 Gm of these omega-3 supplements per day can reduce your heart disease risk in a matter of 2-3 weeks. Additionally, omega-3s reduce abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, and silent inflammation in the entire body.

What is better, eating the fish itself, or taking fish oil supplements?

Fish oil supplements are better, because the pharmaceutical grade -but not health food grade- a fish oils are virtually free from toxins like methyl mercury and dioxan. These toxins are found to be carcinogenic.

Where do you find pharmaceutical grade fish oil?

Our best recommendation is Zone brand fish oil, because it has best quality control. Nordic and Iceland health are other alternatives.
