Ocean Nutrition Launches New Dry Application Omega-3 Powder

The new powder offers up to 105 mg of EPA and DHA per gram. Fortification in these applications would allow athletes and people of all ages looking to improve their diets to easily contribute to their daily Omega-3 EPA/DHA intake.

11 Mar 2010 --- Ocean Nutrition Canada Limited (ONC) has announced the launch of a new MEG-3 powder that allows Omega-3 EPA/DHA to be successfully incorporated into a variety of dry blend applications such as meal replacement powders, powdered juice mixes, protein powders, weight management powders and powdered sports drinks.
 
The new powder offers up to 105 mg of EPA and DHA per gram.  Fortification in these applications would allow athletes and people of all ages looking to improve their diets to easily contribute to their daily Omega-3 EPA/DHA intake. 
  
With increased consumption of Omega-3 from fish oil by kids, moms and dads, body builders and other athletes, and those concerned with weight management, this new product allows manufacturers to increase their market share by developing products with the additional health benefits of Omega-3 EPA/DHA.  To deal with oxidation issues arising from multi-serve containers that are subject to repeated opening and closing, the new dry application version of the MEG-3 powder has an additional carbohydrate layer that provides additional protection (patent pending).
 
“Nutrition Business Journal recently reported that powders, formulas, and drinks represented 94 percent of sports supplement sales in 2009, therefore we see great potential for our new powder for manufacturers of sports and weight management applications.  Increased awareness and consumption of Omega-3 EPA/DHA by athletes and other fitness groups make our new powder a great addition to these types of applications not to mention childrens powdered drinks where moms want to add a little extra nutrition for their budding soccer star” said Jon Getzinger, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer with Ocean Nutrition Canada.
