Fish oil, or fish oil, is a dietary supplement that is made from different types of fish such as sardines, salmon, mackerel and tuna. This food contains, among other things, omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for proper body and brain function. The positive health effects of fish oil have been the subject of scientific research for several decades. For example, it has been linked to better brain function, heart health, improved mood and eye health.
Fish oil is widely used in the form of dietary supplements, commonly sold in capsule or liquid form. It is also occasionally added to other products such as yogurt, milk, bread or cereal to provide consumers with easy ways to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids into their diets. When it comes to cosmetics, fish oil can also be included in some creams and balms, as it is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help treat certain skin problems. It is also used in animal husbandry, especially in dogs and cats, where it helps to maintain the quality of their coat and healthy joints.
