Norwegian salmon oil in new nutritional supplement
USA: Illinois based Optimum Nutrition is using Norwegian salmon oil in its recently introduced smaller-sized omega-3 softgel capsules.
The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in cold water fish help support a healthy cardiovascular system and may also help promote joint function, boost protein metabolism and assist with weight loss.
Since the human body cannot produce omega-3s on its own, they must be taken in with foods and other nutritional sources. The average American diet provides only around 50 mg EPA and 80 mg DHA on a daily basis. That's why a growing number of people are turning to fish oil supplements to make sure they get enough of this essential fatty acid.
The Food & Nutrition Board's daily Acceptable Intake parameters are 1.6 grams of omega-3s for men and 1.1 grams for women, and a 2-softgel serving of our Salmon Oil provides 200 mg of the most bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids - 90 mg EPA and 110 mg DHA. Whether you take several servings daily, or just one, this nutritional insurance amounts to just pennies a day."
Founded in 1987, Optimum Nutrition is a leading manufacturer of premium nutritional supplements. It maintains two distinct brands - Optimum Nutrition and American Body Building.
