Fish oil is rich in ω-3 unsaturated fatty acids, and its main components are DHA and EPA. The main function of DHA is to enhance human immunity, and it is an essential component in breast milk. EPA is called "vascular scavenger", which has the function of dredging and cleaning the heart blood vessels.
Fish oil has the functions of lowering cholesterol, preventing cardiovascular diseases, preventing thrombosis, reducing arteriosclerosis and hypertension, lowering blood viscosity, promoting blood circulation, relieving fatigue, and relieving gout and rheumatoid arthritis. DHA and EPA are important components of brain, nerve cells and human defense system, which have the functions of strengthening brain, improving intelligence and delaying aging.
Extended data:
The consumption of fish oil is less than 3 grams. You can't eat more than this. If it exceeds this amount, there may be side effects of fish oil. Especially pregnant and lactating women.
Taking too high a dose of fish oil will lead to blood coagulation and increase the risk of bleeding. Possible side effects of deep-sea fish oil include burping, halitosis, heartburn, nausea, loose stool, rash and nosebleeds. Taking fish oil supplements with meals can usually reduce these side effects.
Some fish, especially sharks, mackerel and farmed salmon, may be polluted by mercury and other chemicals. Therefore, when choosing fish oil supplements, we should choose high-purity fish oil products extracted from deep-sea pollution-free fish.
