The Many Health Benefits of Fish Oil Tablets

Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the many functions of our body. Along with this, these important acids are known to be able to help prevent some serious diseases. These are fatty acids that our own bodies can’t produce themselves. Instead, fish oil tablets have become a popular way for people in many parts of the world to attain a sufficient amount of these acids.

In regards to omega-3 fatty acids alleviating depression, this randomized controlled trial (abstract available at the URL below) on clinically depressed patients suggests that omega-3 fatty acids do not, in fact, have any measurable effect on alleviating depression.
