When you choose Prince William Sound Sockeye you reap nutritional benefits in a plethora of ways.

For starters a 3.5oz fillet of wild Alaska salmon contains MORE vitamin D than a glass of milk. http://www.alaskaseafood.org/foodservice/news/march08_news/health.html

Then there are omega-3s. Derived from the layer of omega-3 fatty acids found between the skin and the underside of the fillet, not only do they give our salmon their renowned succulence, but also they provide essential EPA and DHA nutrients that benefit a whole array of vital functions.

Omega-3s from seafood are likely to benefit health in the following ways:

• Omega-3s lower the chance of sudden cardiac death and the risk of a first heart attack
• They stabilize abnormal heart rhythms
• They reduce the chance of having a second heart attack
• Omega-3s may stabilize plaques (deposits that can clog arteries) in blood vessels which can rupture and be fatal
• They can also encourage the regression of plaques in arteries
• Additionally, omega-3s control over-reactive immune responses in such conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, allergies and asthma
• They may reduce the chance of developing several degenerative conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease
• They may reduce the development and severity of several mental disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder and hostile and aggressive behavior
• And lastly, omega-3s are critical in the diets of pregnant women for the optimum development of the brain and eye during fetal life, infancy and childhood

More than just omega-3s, salmon are an incredible source of high quality protein, with low amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat.
