description: Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. Fish oils contain the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors of certain eicosanoids that are known to reduce inflammation in the body and improve hypertriglyceridemia. Fish oil has been shown the benefit for cardiovascular disease. The most promising evidence supports supplementation for prevention of cardiac death.
