Description
Indications
Fish oil capsules contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely omega-3, which are present in the oils of specific fish, vegetables, and other plant sources. As the human body cannot naturally produce these fatty acids, they must be obtained through dietary intake. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids function by inhibiting the body’s triglyceride production. Excessive levels of triglycerides can cause coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke.
Fish oil, in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise regimen, is utilized to effectively reduce blood triglyceride levels.
