The three supplements to take for a healthy heart – and the one to avoid

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in oil from certain types of fish, vegetables, and other plant sources.

These fatty acids are not made by the body and must be consumed in the diet or through supplements, often ‘fish oil’.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids work by lowering the body’s production of triglycerides.

High levels of triglycerides can lead to coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids used together with diet and exercise help lower triglyceride levels in the blood.
