Nordic Naturals Introduces New Synergy Line: Omega-3 Fish Oils Plus Synergistic Nutrients For Healthy Heart and Eyes
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.

More Fish Oil Benefits… Fish oil being tested as anti-depressant
Filed Under Fish Oil Benefits | Leave a Comment
Scientists are testing fish oil as an anti-depressant after studies showing countries with high seafood consumption have lower rates of mood disorders,
theage.com.au reported.
An institute in Sydney has started recruiting people with mild to moderate depression aged 21 to 65 to assess the benefits of fish oil supplements, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
In the first, six week phase of the study, half the participants will receive daily doses of fish oil, while the remainder will be given an inactive placebo, so researchers can assess any differences.
The next eight-week phase will ensure all those in the trial will receive the active treatment.
“There’s been studies done internationally showing that countries which eat more fish, such as Japan and Norway, have lower rates of depression,” explained psychiatrist Anne-Marie Rees.
“Also, it’s been shown that Omega-3 levels are lower in depressed patients.
“Therefore, it makes sense to conduct trials looking at treating people who have depression with Omega-3 since depletion is likely to be linked to this disease.â€
