Can people with high cholesterol take fish liver oil?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
People with high blood lipid levels can generally take fish liver oil. Fish liver oil is a vitamin supplement primarily containing vitamins A and D, both essential nutrients for the human body. These vitamins not only help maintain the integrity of epithelial tissues but also play important roles in vision, bone, and tooth development. Moreover, fish liver oil does not contain fat, so it is generally safe for individuals with high blood lipid levels to consume. Patients with elevated lipid levels should follow a diet low in salt, fat, and fatty foods, and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious foods to meet the body's nutritional needs. Regular physical activity is also recommended to help normalize blood lipid levels. Seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs.
