Takmaster would probably have the science for you on that.

Omega 3`s are good fats, good for the heart & brain, help to keep inflamation in check, lubricate your joints & skin.

Not sure on the RDA of them though.

Iknow it's good for you but does it have to come from fish

I think you can get small amounts from other sources but not 100% sure..

But fish has the highest concentrations

I was thinking that either your own body makes it or you could get it from were fish get whish would be plants from the sea.

does anybody know if your liver makes it? I heard that you can also find omega 3 in liver.

The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends eating at least two servings of fatty fish (tuna, mackeral, herring, etc) weekly. They also advised that Omega 3 can be found in algae and krill and nut oils.

They advise that Omega 3 is better when consumed in food form than in pill form. Here is a link to a fairly detailed article from the University of Maryland.
