Omega-3 research at the ANMCO Research Centre in Florence has confirmed the findings of other Omega-3 research projects… Omega-3 delivers a significant benefit for people suffering from chronic heart failure.

The Italian study covered more than 300 cardiology treatment facilities and involved more than 3,500 people who had chronic heart failure.

Half the people received a capsule of Omega-3 every day and half received a placebo.  The results: people who took the Omega-3 supplement enjoyed lower mortality rates and recurring cardiac problems that brought them back to the hospital.

Additional research was conducted at the Mario Negri Institute in Milan.
