Shiff survey: Cardiologists recommend supplements to patients

SALT LAKE CITY According to a new national survey commissioned by Schiff Nutrition -- and conducted by an independent research firm -- an overwhelming majority of cardiologists (91%) have recommended dietary supplements to their patients to support cardiovascular health.

The survey found that three-quarters of cardiologists said that if they had to choose one dietary supplement to specifically support the cardiovascular health, they would choose omega-3 fatty acids, far more so than antioxidants (7%), CoQ-10 (2%) and vitamin E (1%).
