Fish Oil:
While not a vitamin per se, fish oil ,which is an easy name for Omega III fatty acids, is one of if not the most important supplements. It is vital to almost all functions of the body.
Derived from plankton via fish or krill, fish oil lubricates EVERYTHING from your joints to your brain, it is the ultimate anti inflammatory. Remeber, inflammation results in disease and degeneration at the cellular level leading to premature stroke, heart attack, and most other degenerative diseases.
What can fish oil do for you? Studies show it improves speech in Alzheimer's patients, reduces bad cholesterol, and decreases pain in the joints of arthritics, decreases the effects of asthma- IMAGINE WHAT IT CAN DO FOR A HEALTHY PERSON!
One word of caution: it is important to buy the BEST quality you can afford. If it tastes fishy- it's already oxidized meaning it's becoming rancid. If you don't have access to pharmaceutical grade vitamins from your health care provider, look in your health food store for Nordic Naturals or Carlson's= both very good, high quality supplements.
