What does Fish Oil supplement means?
Fish Oil is the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids like Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3
fatty acids are good fats that help to maintain triglyceride levels in healthy heart. These fatty acids are essential and are not made
by the body, therefore, they must be consumed in regular diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in oils obtained from certain types of
fish, flaxseed, and some other plant sources. BestSource Nutrition’s Fish oil is a natural triglyceride extracted from healthy deep
