• Consult Your Doctor Before Use: This is especially important if you have any underlying health conditions (bleeding disorders, high triglycerides) or take medications that interact with blood clotting (e.g., blood thinners).
• Consider Alternative Sources: Omega-3s can also be obtained from fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) including them in your diet can be a good way to boost intake.
• Follow Dosage Instructions: Don't exceed the recommended daily intake (as directed on the label) without consulting your doctor.
