Several clinical studies have documented the health benefits of fish oil supplements, especially on the cardiovascular system. This recent study demonstrates a decreased resting heart rate as well as an improvement in endothelial (cells that line blood vessels) function.
Specifically, consumption of fish oil is associated with a reduction in adverse cardiovascular events.
