How to choose between EE and TG fish oil? Doctors are shocked to reveal the key difference: "This product" has a high risk of causing arrhythmia
Could eating fish oil cause irregular heartbeat? How to choose between EE and TG fish oil?
Today I would like to share with you a topic about fish oil, specifically the comparison between the EE (fatty acid methyl ester fish oil) and TG (triglyceride fish oil) forms, and their association with cardiac arrhythmias and cancer patients. Understanding the types of fish oil is not only relevant for physical health, but also for heart health and the special needs of cancer patients.
First of all, it is important to understand the two forms of fish oil, EE and TG. The EE form is a fish oil extract that has been processed and lipidated to make it rich in EPA and DHA fatty acids. The TG form is the triglyceride form naturally found in fish oil. Both have the potential to protect heart health, but what we are going to talk about today is the “arrhythmia” problem that may be caused by the EE form.
Recent studies have shown that the EE form of fish oil is more likely to cause cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, than the TG form. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that may lead to an increased risk of blood clots and stroke. This is because the EE form of fish oil may have adverse effects on the heart’s electrical system during metabolism in the body.
Fish oil helps reduce inflammation and enhance immunity? Doctor: For cancer patients, choosing “this type” is more beneficial to health
In addition, we also need to pay special attention to the needs of cancer patients for fish oil. Cancer treatment brings many stresses to the body, including reduced resistance and increased risk of inflammation, which really need to be taken seriously by cancer patients. Past research has shown that the TG form of fish oil may be more beneficial for cancer patients because it helps reduce inflammation levels, enhance immune system function, and provide additional health support.
Cancer patients often face complex treatment plans and require special physical care. When choosing the form of fish oil, cancer patients can choose the TG form to ensure that they can get the maximum benefit from fish oil intake when facing treatment.
All in all, different forms of fish oil suit different needs. For those concerned about the risk of cardiac arrhythmia, or those with cancer, choosing fish oil in the form of TG may be a low-risk option. Most importantly, when choosing a supplement, discuss it thoroughly with your physician to ensure your patient’s choice meets specific health needs, so we can take care of our bodies and make informed choices for our own health!
