Fish Oil, full of essential fatty acids, is needed for a healthy diet. Few people get the recommended amount of essential fatty acids through food and need to consume fish oil in order to maintain optimal health.
What is Fish Oil?
Fish oil is derived from the tissues of oily fish and is one of the best sources for essential fatty acids. These acids are “essential” because the body needs them to properly function and the body does not produce all that are needed. Fish oil is also high in protein, vitamins, and minerals and is low in saturated fat.
In order to get the proper amount of fish oil through diet alone, a person would need to eat fish two or three times a week or eat a lot of walnuts and flaxseeds every day. Most people just can’t meet these eating standards and therefore need a fish oil supplement.
What are Essential Fatty Acids?
The most common fatty acids are Omega-3. These fatty acids belong to a group of fats called polyunsaturated fats, or the “good fats.” There are two types of Omega-3 fatty acids:
- Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. These are found in fish and shellfish.
- Short-chain omega-3 fatty acids. These are found in plants, like flaxseed.
Health Benefits of Fish Oil?
The essential fatty acids in fish oil have been shown to offer the following health benefits.
- Reduces Inflammation
- Lessens Joint Pain
- Thickens Hair
- Improves Skin
- Supports Brain and Nerves
- Promotes a Healthy Heart
- Aids In Weight Loss
Why Private Label Omega 3 Fish Oil?
Now is the perfect time to private label fish oil. If you’ve been thinking about expanding your product line or have become interested in starting a supplement business, fish oil is a great product to private label. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three prescription types of fish oil (Vascepa, Lovaza, and a generic form). The prescription fish oil helps in the treatment of very high triglycerides.
But many people are also buying fish oil over-the-counter to help with high cholesterol, joint diseases, and other health benefits. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil have tremendous benefits for the general population and can help everyone from sedentary individuals to athletes. Many people are currently looking to add fish oil to their diets and are looking for a source to make the purchase.
