Vectomega® Benefits Cardio Health

GREEN BAY, Wis.--Preliminary findings from a human trial in France show Vectomega® omega-3 phospholipid complex improves cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing HDL (high-density lipoprotein), according to EuroPharma, the North American distributor of the ingredient. In a release, the company noted the study included 40 healthy volunteers who took one 300 mg tablet twice daily for two months; no side effects were reported.

"The results from this latest trial support previous findings and prove that Vectomega has optimal bioavailability and works on a cellular level," said Terry Lemerond, president of EuroPharma (www.europharmausa.com). He noted the ingredient--a natural marine complex including five phospholipids, proteins, amino acids and the long-chain omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)--is a water- and oil-soluble powder, making it applicable for food, beverage and dietary supplement formulations.
