    Risks of taking fatty acid supplements (including Omega-3) include:
    • excessive bleeding (especially in patients taking more than 3 grams through supplements, along with diet)
    • increase the risk of heart attack, as some polyunsaturated fats lower high-density lipoproteins, which help keep arteries clean.
