But all the positive effects of these acids are associated only with adequate use. In turn, incorrect fish oil increases the risk of dangerous problems - the doctor emphasized that it is up to the doctor to prescribe a supplement with it and determine the required dosage.
In particular, the doctor warned that the consequence of improper intake of fish oil may be the development of breast cancer and cognitive impairment.
