Studies show that the omega 3 fatty-acids found in fish oil are beneficial in many ways. There is not sufficient evidence to show that taking fish oil is an effective treatment for varicose veins, but fish oil helps improve circulation, and varicose veins develop due to circulation problems. It seems possible that taking fish oil may help to decrease the chances of developing varicose veins.

According to the National Institute of Medicine, fish oil helps to widen blood vessels, decrease blood pressure, and reduce clotting. Regular intake of fish oil has also been shown to reduce triglyceride levels.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any real evidence that taking fish oil can help to treat varicose veins. If you don’t already have varicose veins, perhaps fish oil may help you to prevent varicose veins from forming!
