The following is a list of various disorders that fish oil may alleviate or prevent:

• Rheumatoid arthritis: Reduces joint pain, soreness, stiffness, fatigue.
• Heart attacks: Cuts the odds of subsequent heart attacks by one-third.

• Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease): In one test, eating 4.5 grams of fish oil a day – equal to that in seven ounces of mackerel – for eight months depressed disease activity by 56 percent.
• Psoriasis: Reduces itching, redness, pain in some patients, and cuts the amount of medication needed.
• Multiple sclerosis: Helps reduce symptoms in some patients.
• Asthma: Curtails attacks in some individuals.
