Much of the benefit of fish oil supplements seems to come from the omega-3 fatty acids that they contain. Fish oil supplements typically contain two types of omega-3 acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish oil supplements are typically made from mackerel, herring, tuna, halibut, salmon, cod liver, whale blubber or seal blubber. According to MayoClinic.com, there is evidence from multiple studies supporting intake of recommended amounts of DHA and EPA in the form of dietary fish or fish oil supplements.
