Its a fish oil. My mom takes it to help lower her cholesterol. You can get it at Walgreen's or CVS. Its about $12/bottle for 90 pills. Take 1 daily and get the omega 3 that has no after taste. Some fish oil supplements will make you burp. And let me tell ya, its not a pleasant taste.

GNC
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids classified as essential because they cannot be synthesized in the body; they must be obtained from food.
Important omega-3 fatty acids in human nutrition are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On September 8, 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave "qualified health claim" status to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 fatty acids, stating that "supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."[3]
A January 25, 2006 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association concludes:
A large body of literature spanning numerous cohorts from many countries and with different demographic characteristics does not provide evidence to suggest a significant association between omega-3 fatty acids and cancer incidence. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids is unlikely to prevent cancer.[5]
A systematic review of studies from 2002 to 2006 published in 2006 in the British Medical Journal concludes:
Long chain and shorter chain omega 3 fats do not have a clear effect on total mortality, combined cardiovascular events, or cancer.[6]
Those who follow a Mediterranean-style diet tend to have higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. Similar to those who follow a Mediterranean diet, Inuit Eskimos, who consume high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish, also tend to have increased HDL cholesterol and decreased triglycerides (fatty material that circulates in the blood). In addition, fish oil supplements containing EPA and DHA have been shown to reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides. Finally, walnuts (which are rich in ALA) have been shown to lower total cholesterol and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol.

It is a fatty acid which is essential for health and it is found in mostly in fish (sardines, mackerel, etc.), walnut oil and flaxseed oil.
Ask your doctor if you need a seperate supllementation of this fatty acid.
