Fish or Fish Oil Capsules?


grilled-fish.jpgIf you don’t like fish, there is some good news in a study by the University of South Dakota in Sioux Falls that shows fish oil capsules do an equally good job at supplying Omega 3 fatty acids. This refutes the popular notion that it is better to eat the fish. That is partially true since the fish contains high quality protein and other nutrients that the capsules don’t. But if fish isn’t on your list of palatable foods, do your self a favor and get the capsules. Aways take them with other food so you don’t get fishy tasting indigestion.

“We went into the project assuming that fish would be better, based on some previous literature from other people,” Harris noted in an interview. Based on the current findings, he added, “it doesn’t make any difference whether you get your omega 3 fatty acids from a concentrate in a capsule or in fish — they have the same effect on enriching the tissues with omega 3.”
