Omega 3 fatty acids are normally found in foods like fish, seafoods, walnuts, flax, canola oil, pumpkin seeds and soy. If your diet is deficient in these foods, you can take omega 3 fish oil or flax oil dietary supplements. Many brands of omega 3 oils and supplements are available in grocery stores and vitamin shops. If you choose fish oil, be sure the brand you select is mercury free and keep omega 3 oils refrigerated to keep them fresh. Not sure which omega 3 supplements to buy? Here are some high quality omega 3 supplements for you to consider.

Coromega supplements are formulated to eliminate "fish-burps" that may occur after taking regular omega 3 fish oil supplements.
