Omega-3s is a effective as prescription medication at easing arthritis related joint pain.In fact not only alleviate joint pain,but may also prevent it.Eating fish is the simplest way to get what you need, fish are the richest dietary sources for omega-3s.
However, salmon is the best source followed by herring and sardines.Flax seed,walnuts and canola oil also contain high levels of omega-3s.But,the type of omega-3s in plant sources is less effective than those found in fish because our body must convert plant sources.

Omega-3 is indeed essential for body and the best source is fish. But am unable to correlate it with arthritis. Am not sure if it is good for arthritis. Glucosamine is good for arthritis which has been extracted from plants as well.
