What fish oil good for?

Question

does fish oil good 4 eye vision or just vitamin A??

Answer 1

Fish Oil is primarily beneficial for Cardiovascular, Skin (and general tissues), Brain, and Heart health. There are some minor benefits for the eyes (as they are tissues), but not as much as Vitamin A... although you can take those two together without a problem. They're both good for you in different ways.

Answer 2

What the previous poster wrote is correct. Bith products omega 3 and vitamin A are very important for vision.

I would like to add that there is a product where you can find the benefits of omega 3 fats plus vitamin A and D, it is cod liver oil. Take a spoonful every day of a high quality cod liver oil. Remember to keep it in the refrigerator once you open it to avoid rancidity.

Answer 3

Fish Oil is a source of EPA and DHA omega 3 fatty acids.

And as opposed to whatt he other poster said it is VERY important to the eyes!!

DHA plays the most important role in visual and mental development.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the brain and retina. It is an important structural component of the nerve cells in the brain and eyes and a key component of heart tissue. DHA is also a natural component of breast milk.

Important for healthy brain, eye and nervous system development in infants

Key component of the heart and one of the omega-3 recommended by the American Heart Association and the USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health

Plays a key role in the anti-inflammatory process

Important at every stage of life

Original source: microalgae. The DHA-rich oil is extracted for use as an additive in foods, supplements and infant formulas

Dietary sources: fatty fish and organ meats

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)is an omega-3 fatty acid important for human health. However, unlike DHA, EPA is not found in significant levels in the brain or retina and is not considered a significant structural part of the body.

Plays a role in cardiovascular health and is one of the omega-3 recommended by the American Heart Association and the USDA Dietary Guidelines for good cardiovascular health

Shown to help reduce chronic inflammation by modifying the immune response

Dietary sources: fatty fish. DHA can also be converted by the body into EPA
