Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency is a common problem. Some studies show that up to 70-80% of people in Western countries do not get enough of this important substance in their diet.
Oku.Az According to gazeta.ru, taking omega-3 is not just a fashion trend, but a necessity.
Anna Averkina, a Russian physician, said that although an insufficient amount of omega-3 can cause many diseases, it is important to follow the recommended dosage.
“Very high doses can thin the blood and cause other side effects. It’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before taking supplements long-term, especially if you have a chronic health condition or are taking other medications,” she added.
The doctor stressed that omega-3 fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to the formation of harmful free radicals. Supplements should be stored in a cool, dark place and the expiration date should be checked.
In addition, omega-3 supplements may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as heartburn or diarrhea in some people. In such cases, it is recommended to stop taking dietary supplements.
