Benefits of Fish Oil

A number of studies has been carried out on the effectiveness of fish oil. We now have a lot of evidence that suggest the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on the body's composition and mental health. Omega-3 fatty acids also plays a crucial role in brain function, normal growth and development.


A number of these benefits includes:
  • Reduced risk of getting heart disease.
  • Reduced triglycerides, heart rate, blood pressure, and atherosclerosis
  • Stimulate blood circulation, increase the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation,
  • Reduce blood pressure and blood triglyceride levels,
  • Reduces the risk of secondary and primary heart attack.
  • Helpful in cases of depression and anxiety.
  • Reduce the risk of ischemic and thrombotic stroke
  • Decrease in homocysteine
  • Decrease platelet aggregation
  • Improve endothelial cell functions
However, omega 3 in very large amounts may actually increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
