It usually comes from oily fish such as herring, tuna, anchovy, and mackerel. It is sometimes produced from the livers of other fish, as in the case of cod liver oil. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating 1-2 servings of fish per week. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish provide many health benefits, including helping to protect against a number of diseases however, if you are not eating 1-2 servings of fish per week, fish oil supplements can help you get enough omega-3s. It is important to note that the types of omega-3s found in fish oil have greater health benefits than the omega-3s found in some plant sources. The main omega-3s in fish oil, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are essential fats, meaning our bodies can't produce them and must obtain them from external sources.
