The reported health benefits of fish oil include its support for heart health, cholesterol, healthy mood and brain functions, stress and worry, weakened immune system, free radical damage, blood sugar balance, eye health and ulcers. It also helps aid weight management, healthy pregnancy, fertility and skin care (particularly for dry skin conditions and acne). Most of the health benefits of fish oil can be attributed to the presence of omega 3 essential fatty acids like Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Other useful essential fatty acids in fish oil include Alpha-linolenic acid or ALA and Gamma-linolenic acid or GLA.
