Fish oil pills have a positive effect on the brain and the
body. Recent studies by the American Heart Association state that it can
maintain proper brain functioning and lower risks to the heart that lead to
heart attacks. It seems as though our mothers had wisdom when then pulled
out that cod liver oil and forced you to choke it down next to the sink.
They recommend eating fish three times a week to obtain
enough Omega-3 fatty acids. The best way to consume such oils is through natural
consumption. For some it may not be possible to get this much so it is
beneficial to purchase fish oil pills. These can be taken 2 to 3 X a day
throughout the entire week. The biggest issue you must worry about is to find
mercury free products.
There is also an issue with cost. Fish oil supplements are
much cheaper than buying fresh fish and cooking it. Fresh fish take a lot of
preparation to do well and for some this may not be an option. In general, most
pharmacies and grocery stores now offer fish oil supplements that will last a
number of weeks for the price of a single fish meal. The best part is they can be stored in pill
form and do not go rancid easily.
