Question: Can you give me info about omega-3?
i'm 11, and i've been taking my dad's omega-3 capsules. can anyone tell me the benefits of them? all i know is that they're good for your bones and joints. also, it say on the pack that you should be 12+ to have them. what are the side effects if your too young? i've been taking 1 every other day or so...
Answers:
Omega 3 refers to a class of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are considered necessary for human health. The human body cannot produce omega 3 fatty acids and these are obtained through the diet.
It's great for the health of the heart. It also helps protect against osteoporosis.
The following are the important health food sources of omega 3 fatty acids:
mackerel
salmon
sardines
herring
trout
soy
walnuts
flax seeds
