Vitamin D, B, E, as well as nicotinic and glutamic acids can also be attributed to the virtues of this fish. But, perhaps, the most valuable is Omega-3 fatty acids contained in halibut in different combinations. The combination of vitamins and folic acid, typical for halibut, helps to reduce the level of homocysteine in blood, than reduces the risk of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels. An interesting property of halibut is its ability to detoxify the body.
