Condition
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta, the body's main blood vessel, where a weakened wall stretches and can slowly enlarge, and if it ruptures it is a life-threatening emergency. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, though omega-3s and vitamin D draw the most interest. Low vitamin D was linked to larger aneurysms in observational work, which cannot show that supplementing changes anything.
