Brief Introduction:
Fish oil is a kind of oil extracted from fatty fish. It is rich in various n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFA) including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, commonly known as brain gold).

The Role of Fish Oil:
1. Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Health: Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are very beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. They help reduce triacylglycerol levels in the blood, improve blood lipid profile, reduce platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the inflammatory response and relieve the symptoms of arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and other diseases;
3. Enhance the Immune System: Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil help regulate the immune system, enhance the body's immune function, and improve resistance;
4. Improve Brain Function: DHA is an important component of the brain, adequate intake of DHA helps promote brain development and maintain brain health, and has a positive impact on memory and cognitive functions;
5. Skin Health: Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil help keep skin healthy, smooth and help reduce inflammatory skin diseases.
