Are you taking it? Why not?
There has been a lot of information on fish oil, also known Omega-3 fats, in research and the popular press. It is probably the #1 supplement everyone should be taking. It has many benefits and listed below are some of them of the big ones:
- Improves heart health
- fat loss - who doesn't want that?
- brain function - improve your memory & mood
- anti-inflammatory - anyone have aching knees, low back pain ...
The list can go on and on. I have included some references and links to some sites with lots of excellent information.

Be Well and consume your fish oil!!!
Hey
interesting blogg-entry. I have a question; where does the fish oil come from? from where in/on the fish? what kind of fish?
