A Diet Rich In Fish
Cardioprotective benefits have been observed with daily consumption of both wild and farmed fish, which are both high in omega-3 fatty acids.1
• DHA/EPA
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D3
A controlled trial by Burr et al. showed that patients who had a myocardial infarction had a 29% reduction in mortality over 2 years by eating three fish meals a week.2
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week.3
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency can affect the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system.4
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an increase in all-cause CVD mortality.
