Here are a few benefits of fish oil supplements:

1. Lower Cholesterol - While not always bad, cholesterol is the nasty stuff that causes heart attacks and other unpleasant maladies. Studies have shown reduced that patients who took Omega 3 fish oil for 6 months had decreased cholesterol levels than those who did not have fish oil in their diet. While long term tests are still underway, it appears that fish oil may also drastically reduce the risk of heart attack and even stroke.
2. Better Skin - Fish oil can reduce or eliminate acne on your face and body and give your skin a much smoother and softer appearance. This is especially helpful for bodybuilders or even women whose hormones happen to be out of whack.
3. Relieves Joint Pain - For heavy weight lifters and hardcore runners joint pain is fairly common. Fish oil acts to reduce inflammation in the joints which means you can lift more weight and run longer.
4. Less Soreness - As the saying goes, “no pain, no gain” but with fish oil supplements you can reduce the uncomfortable muscle pain you often feel after heavy workouts with a couple caplets a day. Remember that the faster your muscles recover, the more muscle building you will be able to do.
