Our lifestyle has been steadily changing in recent years. Physical movement is in short supply while we have excess intake of caloric energy. Every third German is overweight and nearly 20% of all Germans suffer from fat metabolism disorders. But often, people don’t see their physician about it until the common consequences such as stroke or heart attack occur. Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death in Germany.
Thanks to the intensive research Merz Pharmaceuticals has conducted, it has been able to contribute to the fact that not only cholesterol is considered a risk factor requiring treatment, but high triglyceride concentrations as well.
