Gastroenterologist Alina Dzagurova: serious health problems can arise due to uncontrolled intake of fish oil.
Doctor Dzagurova recalled that fish oil is a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids for the body. Their consumption favorably affects the state of the vascular system, heart and brain, promotes health and longevity. But all the positive effects of these acids are associated exclusively with adequate use.
