Fish oil and omega 3 fats in general are very beneficial. The average diet contains too much omega 6 fats, saturated fats, and trans fats. Trans fats are the worst these are usually the hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats listed on food labels. Omega 6 fats are needed only in very small amounts. Omega 6 fats promote inflamation,and raise cholesterol and triglycerides.
Omega 3 fats:
Anti inflamatory
help prevent blood clots
Raise HDL, lower LDL
benefits arthritis
may lower blood pressure
If you are allergic to fish , I would use FLAX SEED OIL oil instead.
It has generally the same benefits,but you have to take a little more.
Fish oil….1 to 3 grams /day (1000-3000 mg) with a large meal or divide dose with 1 cap at each meal
Flax seed oil …..3 to 6 grams divided doses with each meal. as above.
look for cold pressed,or cold processed wording on label Walmart product is OK and cheaper than health food stores. Check expiration dates .

Try to avoid fried foods and ordinary fats also as much as possible.

How good is fish oil (omega-3) for you? How much should I have?
What are the health benefits of taking a fish oil supplement (i.e. fish omega-3s)?

Is this a supplement I should take? How much (in mg) per day is recommended?

Is it good for the heart? In what ways?

I know fresh fish would be best, but I’m allergic.

***Please use good references. I’m not interested in your personal opinions. I want facts that come from scientific sources, not late night TV infomercials.***

Thanks.
