Filed Under Fish Oil Benefits, Fish Oil Supplements | Leave a Comment
Nordic Naturals, a leading supplier of fish oil and EFA supplements, revolutionizes the essential fatty acid market with the introduction of its new Synergy Line, “fish oil plus” formulas designed to address condition-specific nutritional needs. First out is Heart Synergy, a concentrated blend of fish oil with added nutrients for healthy heart support. Along with EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, the company has added important nutrients such as coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, magnesium and antioxidants (e.g. natural Vitamin E, selenium and folic acid). The second product to join ranks is called Eye Synergy and is excellent for people concerned with protecting their eye health. In addition to purified fish oil, Eye Synergy includes valuable nutrients like lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and zinc. These products were developed based on the newest research findings in controlled human clinical trials.
According to Corinna Benoit, national sales manager for Nordic Naturals, “These new formulas offer complete nutritional solutions for important areas of physical well being. We like to call them “all the latest science in one little bottle!” Not only are these products a “one-stop” shop for full spectrum support but scientific research shows these ingredients work in synergy, meaning that their combined effects are greater than the sum of their parts. “For example,” says Gretchen Vannice MS, RD, Research Coordinator for the company, “investigators found that nutrients such as CoQ10 and L-carnitine work better together for heart support. Further, because CoQ10 and fish oil are fat-soluble, it makes good sense to take them together; the same is true with lutein and zeaxanthin”.
Heart Synergy and Eye Synergy are available in 60 cap bottles offering a 30-day supply of each formula. Consumers are invited to call the company’s toll-free number and ask for a free brochure covering benefits, ingredients and supplement facts. Stay tuned for more synergy blends to come!
Founded by husband-and-wife team Joar and Michele Opheim, Nordic Naturals is the leader in Omega-3 fish oils and EFA blends with exceptional taste, freshness and purity levels. The company offers over 50 different fish oil products and EFA blends, including liquids, capsules, and children’s chewables.

Nordic Naturals Responds to UK Warning Against Too Much Vitamin A Through Fish Oil Use
2005-09-21 - Nordic Naturals
Watsonville, California In light of Thursday’s announcement from the UK Food Standard Agency issuing a warning against too much Vitamin A in diets of those people at risk for osteoporosis, Nordic Naturals announced today that its products do not pose a threat because they have low and safe levels of natural Vitamin A and no synthetic Vitamin A is added to its oils. On September 8th, the UK’s Food Standards Agency suggested that people at risk of osteoporosis should avoid taking supplements containing Vitamin A, including fish liver oils. The advice was based on a review of evidence on Vitamin A carried out by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, prompted by findings of an expert panel on vitamins reported in May 2003 that suggested a connection between high intakes of the vitamin over time with increased risk of the disease.
According to Joar Opheim, CEO of Nordic Naturals, “this concern about fish oils is founded on the fact that most fish oil companies add synthetic Vitamin A to their products. Since we have never added synthetic vitamins to our oils, consumers can feel comfortable taking our cod liver oil without fear of ingesting too much Vitamin A from this one source.” The company has recently taken a strong public stand against any measures that would require standardizing the Vitamin A levels in cod liver oil. Adds Joar, “It is common when fish species other than Arctic Cod are used, synthetic Vitamins A needs to be added back to standardize the oil as Cod Liver Oil. We have never engaged in this practice because we use only 100% Arctic Cod for our Cod Liver Oil, supplying acceptable levels of naturally occurring Vitamin A.”
At the turn of the century, cod liver oil was consumed for its fish oil benefits as well as for Vitamin A and D. Over the years, it has become standard practice to add Vitamin A and D at levels that are not necessarily sound. Nordic Naturals typically averages 1800 IU of Vitamin A, which is considered to be a safe and low level. On the average, other manufacturers contain more than 4500 IU.
Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil products include lemon flavor, orange flavor, strawberry flavor, peach flavor, unflavored, lemon flavored soft gels, Children’s Chewable DHA, single serving teaspoon packets (orange flavor) and Pet Cod Liver Oil. All CLO is tested to ensure healthy levels of 100% naturally occurring Vitamins A and D.
