Fresh Fish vs. Fish Oil


Are fish oil supplements good substitutes for eating fresh fish?

A diet rich in fatty fish has been proven to have many health benefits due to their Omega-3s. Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids essential for how the body’s cells function. They reduce inflammation in the body and can decrease symptoms associated with arthritis and chronic disease as well as reduce cardiovascular risks.

Living here on the Gulf Coast we have access to some of the best fresh seafood in the country. But some of us do not enjoy eating fish and so we are often asked: is a fish oil supplement helpful to getting the Omega-3s your body needs?

The answer is yes, fish oil supplements can be a great alternative especially if you aren’t eating fish 3-4 times a week. The doses vary between 1000-4000 mg a day and we can help you find the right dosage for your body’s needs.
