Omega - 3 Fish Oil has been a popular nutritional supplement for years. Some major benefits include decreasing inflammation, skin and hair health, better concentration, fetal eye and brain development, and supportive research shows it may reduce risk of coronary heart disease. A quality fish oil should contain a high DHA/EPA ratio. Here in our office we carry standard process that has a 2:1 ratio of DHA/EPA.
