It is an essential part of blood production and is mostly found in the red blood cell part of our blood. Iron helps form and oxygenate blood cells, the body also needs iron to produce hormones.
If you read Geronimo Stilton, you may or may not know at least the existence of iron. A part where the water flowing out of the tap he turned on was red instead of clear, but he was reassured that it wasn't blood, instead the water was rich in iron, turning it a red color. ]]> 2022-04-06 12:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/meittacerillo/maapld5j40yg7lt4/wish/2132532382 Copper - Adeline https://padlet.com/meittacerillo/maapld5j40yg7lt4/wish/2132604334 Copper is an essential mineral and trace element (an element that should be provided in low doses) with multiple functions:

When we don't eat a lot of oily fish, taking fish oils could help us get enough omega 3.

Fish oils contain:
- Omega 3
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D

Also, take note that the omega 3s found in fish oil have greater health benefits than the omega 3s that are found in plant sources.

Some of the benefits of taking fish oil are:
- reducing pain and swelling
- prevent blood clots
- lowers the rate of heart disease
    ~ improves cholesterol levels
    ~ reduce blood pressure/ lowers blood pressure
    ~ lowers triglycerides
(although it would lessen the risk of heart diseases, there is no clear evidence that it prevents heart attacks and strokes.)
- may help treat certain mental health conditions
(study suggests that people with certain mental health conditions have lower omega 3 levels. It also could prevent or reduce the chances of getting certain mental health conditions. For example, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders. Because of the lack of data on this topic, it isn't a 100% guarantee for the last two disorders. it also may improve symptoms of depression)
- support eye health
- supports healthy skin
- improve attention and hyperactivity 
- prevents mental health from getting worse
- decrease asthma symptoms and allergy risk
- improve bone health

There isn't really a set recommendation of the amount of fish oil intake, but taking too much would increase the risk of bleeding and strokes. Some brands recommend 2 servings for healthy adults (around 500mg of omega 3) and 1 serving for healthy children (around 250mg of omega 3).
