    Yes, its very healthy. I used to take lots of fish oil tablets when I was young. In fact my mom used to force me. My brother was even worse and my mom had to quite literally feed him. Fish oil contains lots of Omega 3 fatty acids and these are very useful when you are growing up. In fact omega acids are useful for adults as well. Fish oil gels are easy to swallow and you don't even need water as they are quite soft. But the problem is that they tend to stink and cause an unpleasant odour in the mouth. The pungent, and strong flavour off the tablets put of many children.
