    Gday mate, Omega 3 fish oil is responsible for controlling the viscosity of the blood (thickness) Omega 3 things the blood and has advantages like lowering blood pressure and lessening the risk or coronary complications. As for buying them the only toxicity problems i have heard is from people buying cheap products off the net. If you go to a legit pharmacy then all the products should be tested and you shouldn't have any problems, just dint try to cut costs through buying some cheap version on the net

    You want one that's been tested for mercury content (some are contaminated and very toxic). I only take fish oil from the Vitamin World (in the mall). It's been tested and it's cheap.
