Comparing Resveratrol & Fish Oil Vitamins - Which is Necessary & Which is a Waste of Money?


With the long list of products claiming to be number one when it comes to the pack of dietary supplements, one cannot help but get confused as to which is saying the truth and which is a scam. Though many products seem to be beneficial to many, it may not work for others. Comparing different products with each other can also add up to the confusion.

Look at two note-worthy products being promoted and sold in the market nowadays: Resveratrol and fish oil vitamins. The former is an antioxidant mainly coming from red grapes, red wine, peanuts, berries, and certain herbs. It is definitely good for the body since as an antioxidant, it can improve longevity, aid in prevention of certain diseases, and fight free radicals. The drawback however lies on its lack of proofs to make the FDA approve it. It is still a "promising" compound and is not released and marked as a dietary supplement yet.

On the other hand, fish oil vitamins are made from essential fatty acids found in fish, mostly cold-water fish. These oils are rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It helps to keep blood triglycerides in check and may prove to help prevent certain diseases such as Crohn's disease, high blood pressure, and arthritis. Aside from that, people who are having issues like asthma, atherosclerosis, bipolar diseases, depression, kidney problems, heart attack, osteoporosis, and ulcerative colitis can benefit from the vitamin.

Comparing the two together, they both are beneficial to one's health. The key however, in knowing which one is necessary and which is a waste of money, lies with knowing what your body needs. The best way is to consult your physician about your health condition and ask which among the two can benefit you most if you are looking forward to taking vitamin supplements.
