Study finds fish oil supplements may increase heart disease and stroke risk for healthy adults.
Fish oil supplements may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke for healthy adults, according to a new study. Regular use of these supplements, often recommended for their omega-3 fatty acids, may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in healthy individuals, while reducing the risk for those with a history of cardiovascular disease. The research, including over 415,000 participants, aimed to strengthen the evidence base regarding fish oil supplements and their impact on cardiovascular health.
