Dietary supplements are synthetic preparations whose purpose is to supplement the diet with nutrients necessary for the body. But do these supplements carry health risks?
In this regard, a new study revealed the dangers of nutritional supplements that contain a type of fatty acid, such as fish oils.
The study confirmed that omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil supplements may be associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in the heart.
Atrial fibrillation is a very common heart disorder, and people with this disorder are “five times more likely to have a stroke.”
Clinical trials that were applied in the research confirmed that omega-3 fatty acids, which are present in fish oils, may be associated with an increase in their quantity with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.
