Naturally Nova Scotia Launches Krill Oil

Aug. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Naturally Nova Scotia (NNS), Canada’s leading manufacturer and distributor of certified organic, whole food natural health products, is pleased to announce the addition of Krill Oil capsules to their already extensive product lines. Try one of NNS’s newest products to reap the amazing benefits of this potent source of Omega-3!

Omega-3 fatty acids are an essential part of our diet. They reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke and are an important factor in cognitive health and brain function. Since our body is unable to produce Omega-3 on its own, they must be obtained through our diet.

NNS’s Krill Oil is a rich source of Omega-3, as well as a naturally occurring antioxidant, astaxanthin. Krill oil contains a high amount of Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA. This makes krill oil a unique Omega-3 fatty acid source, compared to fish oils or flaxseed. Most of the EPA and DHA in krill oil exist in the phospholipid form instead of the triglyceride form as those in fish oil. This unique physical characteristic makes krill oil more readily absorbed.  

Importantly, Krill Oil is a sustainable source of Omega-3. Krill is a highly renewable resource, with the annual catch being restrictively controlled by international treaty. NNS’s Krill Oil is harvested from the less polluted Antarctic Ocean and is therefore less contaminated than most other sources of Omega-3.

NNS, founded in 1994 by Nancy Smithers, has grown to include a 30,000 sq. foot manufacturing facility on a 250 acre organic farm. Organic is a growing and processing method that helps protect the health of people, plants, animals, and the environment. Organic products have been grown naturally, without using harmful hormones, antibiotics, steroids, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides. Organic farmers follow a holistic system that replenishes the nutrients and maintains the health of the soil by using renewable resources and conserving soil and water to sustain the environment for future generations.  

NNS’s facilities are site licensed by the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) in Canada and are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant. The company manufactures other certified organic whole food products such as their Vitamin C Acerola line, Vitamin D3, and a line of herbal products.
