What is Marine Oil?
Marine oil is a type of oil extracted from marine animals, including fish, krill, and other sea life. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which are considered beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Marine oils are commonly found in dietary supplements like fish oil capsules and are used in various food products for their health benefits.
