Gout is a form of arthritis that results from excess uric acid in a patient’s system. The deposits collect on the patient’s joints, leading to deterioration and causing pain. Omega-3 fatty acids, also called “fish oil,” is sometimes used to alleviate the discomfort of some forms of arthritis. The use of omega-3 fatty acids can produce better outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis, and may be an effective alternative to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to treat the condition.
