HPV, or Human Papilloma Virus, is the most common sexually-transmitted disease, with an estimated 1 in 4 sexually-active young adults having the disease. In women, this infection can eventually lead to cervical cancer, which kills more than 3,900 women every year. If you’re a sexually-active young woman, this could be your fate — unless you start taking fish oil supplements! Why? It turns out that fish oil is one of the best HPV supplements available for preventing cancer of the cervix.
Crazy, you say? I just now stumbled upon a study that tested fish oil on cervical HPV-induced pre-cancerous cells and found that the fish oil inhibited the growth of these cells. What’s even more amazing is that it inhibited the growth of already cancerous cells in a benign tumor! Whether you have HPV, cancer or pretty much any chronic disease, there are so many benefits to taking fish oil!
