  1. A very informative post. Here i want to say that Pregnant women are advised to take fish oil because it helps the unborn child. After the child is born, his motor skills are much better if his mother had taken fish oil during pregnancy. Children are more intelligent and connect better. Mothers also feel healthier if they take fish oil during pregnancy.
