- Fish oil supplements are relatively new as a nutrition enhancer, and you may be unconvinced of your need for them. Perhaps you already take a multivitamin, or believe you can have your nutritional needs met solely through food.
- Fish oil supplements have been documented to be nutritionally beneficial, aiding cardiovascular health and fighting health threats like depression, joint pain and hypertension. It also combats diseases linked to inflammation such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Doctors recommend 2 to 3 servings of fish weekly. In supplement form, that amounts to one gram (1,000 milligrams) of DHA and EPA combined from fish oil, taken daily. Experts at WebMD say "people with certain health conditions may take doses of up to 5 grams a day--but only under a doctor's supervision."
