Dr. Zhang Jianbin
It has benefits. After being ingested, this capsule can help reduce blood fat levels and has a good therapeutic effect on arterial blockage. When blood flow in a blocked vessel is significantly reduced or interrupted, it leads to myocardial ischemia or necrosis; clinically, this presents as angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Fish oil also contains vitamin E, which helps soften blood vessels and can prevent the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
