Effects in clinical trials in cancer and COPD patients
Smartfish provides nutrition products with high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, and its medical nutrition products are used to improve the nutritional status of malnourished or undernourished patients and has shown statistically significant effects in clinical trials in cancer and COPD patients. Recently published data from a double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study indicate that Remune can improve overall survival in undernourished patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
