Nordic Naturals only focus
is to deliver ultra pure, fresh and health promoting omega oils
that taste great, and are free from environmental toxins. All
products are manufactured in Norway, adhering to the highest
manufacturing standards guaranteeing exceptional product Purity
and Freshness levels.
Nordic Naturals uses only wild fish (arctic
cod, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies), that are low on the food
chain (to minimize potential impurities) and are naturally high in
Omega 3 EFAs. Nordic Naturals has developed and patented natural fruit flavored
capsules in a variety of shapes and sizes, small chewable strawberry
capsules for children, and even liquids.
Nordic Naturals make exceptionally high quality fish oils in their natural triglyceride form to maximize absorption and results. Nordic Naturals' goal is to keep the oil's natural constituents to the greatest degree possible. In addition to EPA and DHA, Nordic Natural's formulas also include Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA, C22:5n-3), Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), as well as some monounsaturated and saturated fats found naturally in the oil.
The most common fish oils are the "18/12" oils, which are 18% EPA and 12% DHA. This formula is ideal for maintaining healthy levels of the key nutrients EPA and DHA. Since it is already in its natural form, an 18/12 oil does not need to be molecularly distilled, unless its source is impure. Flash distillation, a gentle and leading-edge oil processing technique, cleanses the oil while leaving the molecules untouched.
For higher concentrations, molecular distillation is used to increase the levels of the two key fatty acids EPA and DHA. High concentrates can be in their natural triglyeride form or in an ethylester form. Nordic Naturals uses only the triglyceride form of fatty acids since they offer higher stability and bioavailability. Concentrates lend themselves well for specific therapeutic dosing.
In the example of pregnant and lactating women, a concentrated DHA supplement can easily meet a woman's need for brain and nervous system support, without the vasodilation effect of EPA. Higher EPA formulations target heart health and immune system support. Concentrations of both EPA and DHA are ideal for protocols that may require high dosages of Omega-3 in a balanced form.

GENERAL BENEFITS:
- EPA - Healthy heart and immune support
EPA builds prostaglandin PGE-3, which is anti-inflammatory and promotes vasodilation.
- DHA- Healthy mind, nervous system and visual acuity
DHA is needed for pregnant or lactating women, children's developing brain and nervous systems, periods of high mental stress and any signs of forgetfulness.
Both EPA and DHA maintain membrane flexibility, which supports the cellular intake of nutrients, and the elimination of toxins. EPA and DHA contribute to structural parts of the cells and facilitate electrical channels on the membrane (neural transmission).
- GLA - Healthy skin, hair and hormones
Evening Primrose Oil and Borage Oil supply different ratios of GLA (Omega-6) and are rich in Omega-9, otherwise known as Oleic Acid. GLA nourishes the skin and promotes prostaglandin PGE-1, which is also anti-inflammatory. Many doctors prefer to supply GLA with a fish oil to maximize the health promoting enzymatic pathways and prevent serum buildup of pro-inflammatory Arachidonic Acid.
Questions to ask when looking for a fish oil for your child.
Watsonville, California (July 27, 2005)
Dogs and cats need Omega-3 fatty acids just as much as people do. While pet diets may include some Omega-3s, virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important ones: DHA and EPA. Nordic Naturals, Inc. today announced today the introduction of Omega-3 Pet capsules, an optimal way for dogs and cats to achieve their “daily dose” of Omega-3 fatty acids. The Omega-3 Pet formula joins the company’s newly released liquid Pet Cod Liver Oil formula, creating a complete line of pet supplementation in two delivery forms.
“Many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils, resulting in a highly unbalanced essential fatty acid ratio,” explains Joar Opheim, CEO of Nordic Naturals. “In line with recommendations in Scandinavia, we feel it is crucial to give your pet quality fish oil every day.” What makes Nordic Naturals different from other animal supplement suppliers is that the company uses the same quality standards for their pet products as they do for their human products. The oil is derived from 100% wild anchovies and sardines and is provided in a natural triglyceride form for easy absorption. Freshness and purity levels exceed both the Norwegian Medicinal and European Pharmacopoeia standards, delivering some of the purest, freshest and most effective Omega-3 fish oils on the market.
Whether customers choose the liquid or encapsulated product, they can be assured they are giving their pet high levels of the important Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. “Some customers just prefer the ease of using capsules for their pet companions, while others find them perfect when traveling to dog or cat shows, field trials, agility competitions or just vacationing with their family pet companion,” adds Joar. The soft gel capsules can be added whole to food for large dogs or punctured and mixed with food for cats and small dogs.
Nordic Naturals Omega-3 fish oils promote pet health by supporting: optimal cellular health, skin and coat health, joint health, heart health, brain and eye development and maintenance, and energy production. We can special order Omega 3 for your pets. Please email sales@crohns.net or call 1 (877) 240-7528 hours M-F 9-4 PST.
