A composition for use in vascular relaxation, wherein the composition includes at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid component and at least one anthocyanin component. The polyunsaturated fatty acid component is an ethyl ester of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or an amino acid salt of EPA or DHA. The anthocyanin component is cyanidin-3-galactoside, or delphinidin-3-arabinoside. Further, the omega-3 fatty acid salt has an organic counter ion which is lysine, arginine, ornithine and mixtures of the same. The composition further includes cyanidin-3-galactoside. The composition further includes fruits extracts or cereals extracts. A method for treating a disease with the composition.
