Fish oil acts as a lubricant for the joints and promotes blood circulation, which means you'll likely experience less stiffness and pain. The oil also helps to reduce inflammation in the body, since the supplement has anti-inflammatory properties that help to boost the immune system. Studies have shown eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two omega-3 fatty acids including in fish oil, can prevent pain stemming from inflammatory agents such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). Individuals with conditions like chronic back pain or arthritis may find taking fish oil on a daily basis can significantly reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve quality of life. According to one study, some patients were even able to stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs without experiencing a flare in their arthritis when taking fish oil supplements in these high doses.
