The benefits of fish oil supplements
“There is strong evidence that taking Omega 3 has health benefits that include reducing the inflammation associated with arthritis. So we advise people who find fish oil supplements beneficial to continue taking them,” Arthritis New Zealand Chief Executive said today. She was referring to recent reports of degradation of Omega 3 in various brands of fish oil supplements.
“If people are concerned about the risk of degradation of their supplements, they should consider buying smaller quantities, and keeping them in a lightproof container, in the fridge to help maintain their potency,“ Ms Kirby concluded.
Arthritis New Zealand is the national organisation focussed on raising awareness of the more than 140 different forms of arthritis, advocating for those with the condition, and providing advice and support.
