Natrol Launches Line Of Lemon-Flavored Omega-3 Fish Oils

Chatsworth, CA - Natrol, Inc. premier manufacturer and marketer of nationally branded nutritional products, has introduced an all-new line of Lemon-Flavored Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements. Natrol's specialized Omega-3 Fish Oil formulations contain MEG-3 Brand Fish Oil‡ with added natural lemon oil for a great-tasting lemon flavor. The lemon flavor helps combat the fishy "burp effect" associated with fish oil supplements. MEG-3 Brand Fish Oil is a superior-quality, pure Omega-3 fish oil, primarily from deep-water fish caught in the South Pacific Ocean off the Peruvian coast.

According to Dr. Michael Yatcilla, Natrol's Vice President of Research and Development, "Fish oils contain important fats, called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), that humans can only obtain through food and nutrition." He added, "Getting the right amount of EFAs, either by eating EFA-rich foods, such as oily fish, or supplementing with Omega-3 fish oils, is one of the best ways for people to protect their cardiovascular health. Furthermore, clinical studies show that taking EFAs can help cognitive and emotional health, as well as support bone, joint, skin and hair health.

Many people, however, either don't eat enough EFA-rich foods -- especially cold-water, "oily" fish such as anchovies and sardines -- in their regular diets, or are concerned about eating fish that tend to be higher in heavy metals. For these people, a solution is to supplement with Natrol's Omega-3 Fish Oil products with MEG-3® Fish Oil, which is USP verified by U.S. Pharmacopeia and molecularly distilled -- a state-of-the-art ultra-filtering process that removes toxins including pesticides, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins, heavy metals such as mercury, and other unwanted elements from fish oil that may occur naturally or result from the environment.

Current statistics indicate that cardiovascular disease is still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. and most European countries. Recent media stories, including one by CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, report that heart disease kills more women than men. One way to offset this trend, according to health professionals, the American Heart Association and the medical community at large, is to eat oily fish. Supportive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Mounting research evidence over the past decade is indicating that Omega-3 fish oils may also have bone benefits for humans. The newest research shows a positive effect on bone mineral density associated with high concentrations of EFAs in the body, particularly DHA fatty acids.
