omega-3 fatty acids from fish OR from fish oil supplements. ??


It's better to get omega-3 fatty acids from fish than from fish oil supplements.

Stick with fish, not capsules. Most of the encouraging studies have looked at people eating fish, not taking a supplement. 

Extracted omega-3 fatty acids may not have the full benefits of what's naturally in fish.

Some recent studies of people at higher risk of heart disease did not find that omega-3 supplements helped. 

People with heart disease should talk to their doctor to see if omega-3 supplements might be a good idea.
