Fish oil is found in oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines or anchovies. It’s naturally rich in omega 3 fatty acids including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are important for many aspects of health. Our bodies can't produce omega 3 by themselves, so we need to get it by eating certain foods or taking a supplement.
You may be asking yourself, why do I need to take fish oil? Well it offers a wide range of health benefits;
* It supports the development of the brain, eyes and nerves, and may help verbal learning and memory in some children.
