There have been several studies on mice and pigs that show how fish oil benefits your immune system.  In short, the studies show that regular consumption of fish oil by the animals resulted in an increased immune system that warded off common bacteria such as cold and flu viruses.  This is because the omega 3 fatty acids that are present in fish oil help the cytokines and eicosanoids which are normal elements of your body that protect you as part of your immune system.  Additionally, fish oil benefits not only your immune system, but also helps to prevent and reduce inflammation in your tissues.
