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.
