Omega-3 fish oil, is fish oil that contains Omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Three of these omega-3 fatty acids are of important nutritional value and are beneficial to our health. Who among us does not want to be healthy? Among other things Omega 3 is said to improve circulation, help with diabetes, artritis and depression. Aid the immune system, help with learning and behavioural problems and improve memory in old age. Omega-3 in fish oil has recently also been shown to be beneficial during pregnancy. Omega-3 is now thought to be so beneficial to the development of unborn babies that it is being re-recommended that pregnant women eat a small amount of fish each week to assure a small omega-3 intake. It is believed the benefits outweigh the dangers of the precense of trace amounts of heavy metals such as mecury which until now have stopped most pregnant women from eating fish or seafood. Omega-3 fish oil tablets offer a safe alternative as manufaturers of omega-3, tablets and gel, process the oil to remove any base metals (not all manufacturers remove base metals be sure to check before buying). These are just a few of the potential health benefits being looked into. Perhaps one of the most interesting areas of research regarding Omega-3 fatty acids is the possibility that thet are actually necessary to our mental health, and can help reduce the incidence of depression.

Omega-3 suppliments are processed from fish oils which are found naturally in some fatty fish. The most common source of omega-3 rich fish oils are from salmon, herring, anchovies, mackarel and sardines. Tuna also contains Omega-3 fatty acids but only in small amounts. By far the easiest way to include omega-3 in your diet is to take omega-3 tablets or gel capsules.
It sounds great but is any of this hype true? As with all medical claims it can take some time to verify each individual claim and reasearch into these areas of medicine and psychology can take years to release conclusive results. However, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA) in 2006 recognized two types of Omega-3 fatty acids as having valid health merit, those were eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. In short they admited that Omega-3 fatty acids were shown to be beneficial in the treatment of coronary artert disease. More recently, as mentioned above, the FDA have reversed an older recommendation for pregnant women not to eat seafood for fear of heavy metals, claiming that the benfits of omega-3 outweigh the risk of harm from a small intake of fish.
