You may be suffering from fatigue, dry and/or itchy skin, brittle hair and nails, constipation, depression, frequent colds, poor concentration, lack of physical endurance and joint pain. All the symptoms point out that you are suffering from Omega 3 deficiency. People in the United States have a hazardously poor measure of Omega 3, a fat which is essential to good health but is only found in fish oil and a few other foods green leafy vegetables, legumes, ground flaxseed. Fish oil has become very popular source of Omega 3 fatty acids. The omega-3 supplementation is considered safe and well endured.
