One of the fish oil benefits is the fact that it can lower testosterone levels. This is encouraging information for women who suffer with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Their ovaries are malfunctioning and they are having problems with their menstrual cycles.

This can be the result of too much androgen/testosterone. It is also partially caused by leptin and insulin resistance. Women with PCOS also struggle with acne and often experience facial hair growth.

Sometimes women with elevated testosterone levels do not get full blown PCOS, but will really struggle with acne. And lab tests will show elevated testosterone.

Women with high androgen/testosterone have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, later, as they get older. If you are having serious problems with your menstrual cycle, at any age, see your physician and have him check you out. And maybe you should start taking some fish oil capsules. Ask your doctor about it.

Another fish oil benefit: Taking fish oil could prevent a sudden death by heart failure.

Sudden death by heart failure is often triggered by atrial fibrillation. This occurs when the two upper chanbers of the heart do not beat in a synchronized way.It might occur without the patient having any symptoms.But quite often there will be chest pain, palpitations or other symptoms like irregular heart rhythms.

A large scale GISSI prevention trial was undertaken, apparently in Europe. The people involved in this test had already had a first heart attack. They were given fish oil, an Omega 3 product with a high concentration of DHA – Docosahexaenoic Acid.The result showed a 45% decrease in sudden cardiac death in people who already had one heart attack and had taken the fish oil pills.
This one particular Omega 3 essential fatty acid is crucial for the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function.
