Fish oil pill are they good for the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally Yes: These natural omega-3 oils are known to maintain cell membranes and organ health. The tendency towards formulating highly purified fish oils may be counter productive in that some of the more beneficial fish oils contain additional micronutrients. For example salmon oil or krill oil contain the efficacious antioxidant astaxanthin.
