Those with heart problems are more reluctant to take supplements. These agents increase the risk of consuming certain vitamins and minerals in excessive amounts. In the end, this could do more harm than good, warns the German Heart Foundation. In addition, taking such capsules, powders or concentrates may place less emphasis on an overall balanced diet. Ideally, lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, enough protein, nuts, fish and vegetable oils should come on the table. If there is a proven lack of certain vitamins or minerals, taking supplements is harmless, according to the Heart Foundation. Before doing so, you should definitely get medical advice.
