Many people take fish oil for heart health and their reported anti-inflammatory properties. These omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to decrease inflammation and support immune systems - both helpful for psoriatic diseases. However, new research analyzed top-selling fish oil supplements and found that many of them had significantly less omega-3 fatty acids (sometimes as much as 30 percent) than they claimed. Mislabeling is common in the supplement industry, so be sure to do your research and talk with your doctor! Also, fish oil can thin your blood, so check with your doctor before you start taking it and especially if you are taking warfarin (Coumadin) or other blood thinners.
