Eating at least an ounce of fish a day, or two servings a week, has been shown to minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, fish oils have anti-inflammatory properties, which aid in minimizing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. These soft gels are free of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, yeast, starch and gluten.

Fish Oil 1200 mg

Two Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg soft gels provide 720 mg of omega-3 fatty acids derived from deep-ocean-water fish, primarily anchovies and sardines. Two gels provide 2400 mg of fish oil concentrate, with 360 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA; 240 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA; and 120 mg of other omega-3 fatty acids. Two soft gels provide 25 calories, 2.5 g of total fat and 25 mg of cholesterol. The Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg Odorless soft gels have an enteric coating that prevents the capsules from being absorbed before they reach the small intestine.

Your body produces Vitamin D when you expose your skin to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease. By combining these two nutrients, your cardiovascular system is strengthened by keeping the cell membranes strong and flexible.

Taking these fish oil soft gels with NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, blood pressure medication, and blood thinners such as warfarin or coumadin, may decrease the effectiveness of either the drug or the fish oil.
