Source-Omega Licenses Pure One™ Omega-3 DHA/EPA Algae Oil Distribution in Sweden

Chapel Hill, NC, October 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Source-Omega, a Chapel Hill-based company, has partnered with Veganlife Stockholm to offer its alternative to fish oil in Sweden.

The source of omega-3s in cold water fish is actually algae oil, a clean, sustainable resource used to make omega-3 DHA, the only omega-3 fatty acid proven to support a healthy brain, eyes and heart through every stage of life.

Rather than fish oil, Pure One™ is made with algae oil, which gives it attractiveness to those who prefer not to eat fish or fish oils. There is also no fishy taste, and there are no fishy ‘burps.' Pure One™ is made using only quality controlled processes and resources that are earth-friendly and self-contained to ensure that the product is free from contaminants.

“Pure One's omega-3 ratio most closely matches the needs and composition of the human brain, an important fact for pregnant mothers to know about” said Pernilla Karlsson, Ph.D. Nutritionist, Toxicologist and Founder of Veganlife in Stockholm. “Pure One comes from a plant based source (algae), which means you can trust it more and you feel good about taking something so pure and helpful to the body and environment,” said Dr. Karlsson.

Dr. Karlsson also noted that Pure One™ is vegan-friendly, free from ocean pollutants, and is one of the most affordable DHA products on the market from any source.

DHA and EPA omega-3 essential fatty acids are found in human breast milk. Studies have shown that the algae DHA sources provide cognitive benefits for both the developing fetus and for an aging adult's healthy brain, eyes and heart.

In addition, in subjects taking algae oil omega-3 DHA daily, significant improvements in plasma lipids are observed across 16 clinical studies that are supported by two reviews, one by Source-Omega's Founder and one by Martek Biosciences Corporation [1,2].

“Data collected from Source-Omega consumer results also show therapeutic benefits with 1200 mg DHA + 40 mg EPA daily using Pure One. Pre-qualified subjects with high triglycerides (>200 mg/dl) volunteered for follow-up. Working with their doctors, the dosage provided 10% to 29% reduction in high triglyceride levels” reports Scott Doughman, Ph.D., a Lipidologist, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Source-Omega.

Dr. Doughman noted that the company results are consistent with clinical studies describing algae DHA providing 26% lower triglyceride levels consistently across the studies, when subjects are taking DHA dosages above 1 gram DHA per day.

Doughman also proposed the significance of these findings, saying “Perhaps the DHA level in prescription LOVAZA* by GSK is the most active component for lowering high triglycerides levels. Pure One is proudly prescription free. Our ongoing research and development at Source-Omega suggests that DHA is more effective than fish oil mixtures for lowering postprandial triglycerides, an emerging topic in the area of diabetic dyslipidemia, also a topic of our patent pending formulation and use status in the U.S.” [*LOVAZA (Omega-3 Acid Ethyl Ester) is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)]

Doughman concluded by suggesting an important role that Pure One™ plays in serving our planet's future is by its use of only sustainable resources, thereby eliminating the need to “squeeze a fish” for the world's increasingly global omega-3 supplement needs.

Source-Omega, LLC, Chapel Hill North Carolina, USA, located near the Research Triangle Park, was founded by Dr Scott Doughman in 2007, specializing in the manufacturing, branding, and globalization of algae oil nutritional products as an exclusive distributor of the brand names PURE ONE™ for the next generation plant based omega-3 and OMEDHA™ for clinics offering triglyceride lowering plasma lipids management programs. The company makes clinical DHA with EPA supplement products from algae oil for international and domestic distribution, licensing, private labeling and contract manufacturing for private and public pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company product lines as just part of the ‘intellectual suite' offered by the company.

Veganlife is a leading Scandinavian voice for vegan products in Sweden, also serving pregnant and nursing mothers in the region. With their sole-source license agreement with Source-Omega, Veganlife seeks to access about 1500 health shops and numerous clinics in Sweden alone, a health conscious country.
