Okay.: If you're otherwise young and healthy, with a well balance diet with natural sources of omega-3 such a fish, then supplements may not be necessary.

Yes: Fish oil contains high amounts of Omega 3 fats, which are important for many body functions. It is fine to take fish oil, just be sure to follow the package directions. Hope this helps!
