Pike is a popular, predatory type of freshwater fish that is increasingly becoming an important component of a balanced diet. Pikes available in stores originate from both farms and natural waters (lakes, rivers). The quality of the fish meat depends on numerous factors, such as gender, type, age, maturity level, and feeding method.

It's perfect for a weight-loss diet
It is a high-protein product. Because it is free of collagen and practically lacking in elastin, it is more easily digestible than meat of slaughtered animals. In addition, it has a very low fat content. All this makes it an ideal product for people who want to lose weight.

The presence of vitamins in pike
Pike meat contains minor quantities of fat-soluble vitamins, including Vitamin D (0,9 µg/100 g), Vitamin A (14 µg/100 g), and Vitamin E (0,8 mg/100 g). Moreover, it incorporates water-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin B1 (0,1 mg/100 g), Vitamin B2 (0,1 mg/100 g), Vitamin B3 (3 mg/100 g), Vitamin B6 (0,1 mg/100 g), Vitamin B12 (24 µg/100 g), and folic acid (9 µg/100 g).

Pike as a source of vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is stored in the liver. The daily losses of this vitamin are about 0.10.2%. According to the results of studies by M. Badian and T. Djerzanowski, symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency do not occur until about 2 years after stopping taking it. Vitamin B12 plays a significant role in the process of blood formation. It is also involved in the synthesis of genetic material (DNA), bone marrow proteins, and amino acids. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to the development of megaloblastic anemia and disorders of the nervous system. Furthermore, it increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
