Fish oil
Fish oil
is
oil
derived from the
tissues
of
oily fish
. Fish oils contain the
omega-3 fatty acids
eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA), precursors of certain
eicosanoids
that are known to reduce
inflammation
in the body, and have other health benefits. Nonetheless, fish oil supplement studies have failed to support claims of preventing
heart attacks
or
strokes
.
