Dietary supplement to lower cholesterol
1- Omega 3 supplements
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplements, also known as fish oil supplements, can help reduce triglyceride levels in the blood.
Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids are found in some foods, such as fish, seeds, and nuts, as well as in dietary supplements, and should only be taken following consulting a doctor regarding the necessary dosage.
Large doses can cause serious side effects, such as bleeding and stroke, and for people with diabetes, it can make it more difficult to control their blood sugar levels.
People allergic to fish or shellfish may also be allergic to omega-3 supplements.
