These fish include salmon, mackerel, and trout. “Whole fish provides additional nutrients and bioavailability advantages over supplements,” says Avena.Research generally supports this recommendation. Most trials examining the health benefits of fish oil supplements have been inconclusive, Dr. Yassine says. “Fish is complex.
