However, despite a high level of awareness, only a few Germans consume enough fish. More middle-aged women in Germany are deficient in omega-3 due to which they are at an increased risk of heart disease. Such risk factors, in turn, are leading to women in the country increasingly purchasing omega-3 products to avoid health risks.
