• Answer:

  Well, here. This should help, and it's actually more accurate than half the answers here. Many benefits are bolded so it should be a quick read (of course, detail reading is better than scanning through). Medical Center of University of Maryland: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/omega-3-000316.htm (It mention what age you should take them in the "How to Take It" section. Basically you can take them at any age, but with different doses depending on your condition. ) Also, you might also be interested in Omega-6 fatty acids, you know, to use in balance with the omega 3 one. Medical Center of University of Maryland: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/omega-6-000317.htm That's awesome, by the way--you know, the willingness to take vitamins. Last month, I finally manage to get my dad to take 2 grams a day of fish oil omega-3 fatty acids--I went to the local buffet and have a feast to congratulate myself, hahaha. (He was diagnosed with high triglycerides [which is part of cholesterol] but absolutely refused to take any medicine; his stubbornness defines him, though, hahaha, actually one of his good traits, in my opinion.)
