Fish Oil

Characteristic

Fish Oil

Fish oil is the concentrated and purified oil from the tissue of oily fish. It usually comes from many different types of fish, such as salmon, anchovies, sand eel, tuna, sardines, herring and mackerel. The beneficial effects of high levels of omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil on human health (especially for heart, brain, and nervous system functions) have led to the perception of fish oil as a product with high nutritional value. At present, fish oil has been used as a health additive and ingredient in value-added food or health food capsules around the world.

Nutritional components

Fish oil is rich in two important omega-3 fatty acids called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA is a 20-carbon chain fatty acid and is identified as 20:5 (n−3) and DHA is a 22-carbon chain fatty acid and is identified as 22:6 (n−3). Both EPA and DHA are naturally present in fish oil in the form of triglycerides. Omega-3 fatty acids can help the body achieve many functions, from muscle activity to cell growth. In fact, the human body cannot produce this nutrient on its own. Therefore, taking fish oil has become a way to supplement omega-3 fatty acids for the body.

Health benefits

Fish oil is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries due to its health benefits. Its health benefits include, but are not limited to the following.

Promotes heart health

Promotes heart health

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are responsible for lowering bad cholesterol while increasing levels of good cholesterol. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids also prevent the build-up of triglycerides. Therefore, fish oil supplementation can significantly reduce the probability of developing cardiovascular disease and arrhythmias.

Reduces joint pain and prevents arthritis

The natural anti-inflammatory properties of fish oil make it helpful in reducing pain and improving stiffness in joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Although relief is usually moderate, it is sufficient to enable you to reduce the need for anti-inflammatory drugs, which can have unpleasant side effects.

Improves attention

Improves attention

Studies have shown that people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHA) have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their bodies. Fish oil supplementation can significantly improve symptoms such as emotional instability, inattention, poor coordination, and short memory.

Prevents depression

Studies have found that people who take fish oil are relatively less likely to suffer from depression. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can alleviate symptoms associated with depression, such as anxiety, sadness, restlessness and mental fatigue.
