Fish oil: Omega three fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids and are essential for growth and development in utero and during childhood. The main advantage of fish oil is its ability to reduce triglycerides. Some studies in patients taking fish oil also suggested a reduction in heart disease but other studies have refuted those findings.
