Dear Mr. lybrate-user fish oil is a supplement, not a medicine. It will not cure any disease. However, it is a rich soiurse of omega fatty acids which protect againstbheart disease and alo in arthritis. Its a fat soluble vitamin so toxicity may occur with overdose. If you are young and otherwise healthy, you can have these for a month. However, better to include fish in your diet and eat an otherwse healthy diet.

Yes, omega 3 supplements are very essential for your heart, brain, joints,skin ,eyes and sexual wellness. Due to increased heavy metal concentrations in sea food as a result of fish breeding in east coast of india, dietary supplementation of such nutraceutical is better and necessary for good functioning. Side effects are minimal to nil at standard rda.
