    The American Heart Association and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force don't
    recommend taking vitamins to prevent heart disease. However, some supplements may
    help with heart health, including:

    Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in fish oil, these can reduce triglycerides and improve blood
    pressure

    Folic acid: A B vitamin that lowers levels of homocysteine, which has been linked to
    heart disease

    Coenzyme Q10: May help lower blood pressure

    Fiber: Found in fruits, grains, vegetables, and legumes, fiber can reduce the amount of
    cholesterol your body absorbs from food

    Red yeast rice: Contains Monacolin K, which is structurally identical to the statin
    medication lovastatin, which helps slow the production of cholesterol in the body

    Magnesium: Helps your body maintain a steady heartbeat and lower blood pressure Vitamin E: Can act like a blood thinner if you take 800 IU per day or more

    You should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to
    avoid potential interactions with medications. Some supplements may not be safe for
    certain people
