Best Answer

Fish oil can help to relieve constipation mainly because it is an oil and works as a lubricant. But fish oil has so many other benefits as well that it would be good to take a fish oil supplement every day. Besides relieving constipation it can help support heart health. It helps keep the joints well-oiled, and it's good for the brain. Take a fish oil supplement with pharmaceutical grade fish oil, something like Triple Strength Omega 3 which is free from contaminants. As long as you take pharmaceutical grade, it's fine. One with an enteric coating might help. It avoids those unpleasant fishy refluxes!
