Does omega 3 fatty acids prevent blood clotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be.: No direct studies done, but Omega 3 has some anticoagulant properties, so we recommend patients to stop taking Omega 3 before surgical procedures and even before taking Botox injections. They are not as potent as Apirin.
