Many prefer to take various supplements containing useful vitamins and minerals. However, researchers believe that some of them can lead to heart problems. They told which popular supplements to be wary of.

Omega-3

A new study published in the European Heart Journal found that an omega-3 supplement 3 may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation) in some patients.

It is noted that this adverse effect may occur in people with elevated plasma triglycerides, as well as in people at high risk of heart disease or with already diagnosed cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin E

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) does not recommend the use of beta-carotene or vitamin E supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular disease -vascular disease or cancer.

“Evidence shows that taking vitamin E is useless and that beta-carotene may be harmful because it increases the chance of developing lung cancer in people who are already at risk,” – said Tufts Medical Center specialist John Wong.
