Back in May a number of journals and national papers reported on a study that indicated that regular use of fish oil supplements may cause increase risks for those with no underlying heart issues. The following link is one of those articles medicalnewstoday.com/articl...
My question is what about those who already have AF. Should they regularly use fish oil supplements? My wife (with persistent AF controlled via medication) takes these daily and has done for many years.
I was always under the impression it was a bit iffy to take fish oils as a supplement if being anticoagulated. It is very frustrating that many supplements advocated for heart health seem to be contra indicated when on anticoagulants. Did find this on an Australian site though "If the dose of fish oil is <3 g daily, combinations of fish oil and warfarin or antiplatelet medication (eg aspirin or clopidogrel) are considered safe"
Of course the likelihood of any meaningful research on other interactions is very slim. Particularly annoying for me is the lack of info on CBD oil.
