If someone told you about a natural substance that could guarantee excellent health and avoid premature death, would you be interested? Fish oil capsules, when taken as a dietary supplement on an everyday basis, advocate good health in the most natural way. Fish is the best source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential to the health of the brain, heart, and the nervous system. Our body uses Omega-3 fatty acids to generate eicosanoids, which help our body in absorbing calcium and other trace elements.
Many of us take multivitamin tablets along with our regular healthy diet. Adding fish oil capsules to our daily dose of dietary supplements not only guarantees good health but also enhances the effectiveness of other multivitamin tablets. Even if you consume fish 3-5 times a week, many doctors recommend the use of fish oil capsules as daily dietary supplements because our body cannot produce Omega-3 fatty acids. Thus, one needs to supplement the need for it from external sources. The recommended dose of fish oil capsules varies from 2-5 gm a day. Fish oil capsules are a great alternative for vegetarians as well. Since the capsules conceal the horrid taste of fish oil and consuming fish is not an option for vegetarians, you only to swallow one pill a day to avail the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Hi Mukta,
I have started taking Glucosamine+MSM+Cal+D3 along with Vitamin B12+ALA and as it was promised …. I got
relief in my knee and back pain….
One question is whether i can have Glucosamine+MSM along with fish-oil, because I think it must
work synergistically….!
I am doing yoga in my home regularly to keep my torso in shape and sometimes hit the gym too!!
Waiting for your reply…..
Yes sumit you can very well take fish and glucosamine together and yes you are right it work synergistically.
Dear Sumit,
Thanks a lot for for your appreciation.Fish Oil Capsules are definitely something which helps to reduce the knee pain. When it comes to lower back pain you shouldn’t be bending and you are doing a very right thing. You should bend your knees and then lift anything. You should not lift very heavy weight as well. Please let me know if you need any other help from my end.
Hello Mukta,
I am taking Inlife fish oil along with Pro-Prebiotics so that it helps be to absorb & digest the diet…
I also receive regular updates from INlife ….. next time I am going to shop for pack of 3 or 2 so that the stocks lasts a bit longer.
Actually, I have lower back central disc gap in L5-S1 which means i can’t bend forward to life weights…i need bend my knees first for which i need to take fish oil everyday after meal. My Orthopaedic Doctor allows me to take them.
Pre-biotics helps me to digest hard food like eggs properly and also if I tend to eat something stupid, it takes care…
thank you really for your efforts & knowledge about this good stuff.
