Essential Formulas launches plant-based omega-3 formulations

August 21, 2013 — Essential Formulas is announcing the launch of an equally innovative line of dietary supplements formulated to improve a consumer’s heart/brain health and self-care strategy.

The CHIA OMEGA family of essential fatty acid dietary supplements is derived from high-protein Chia seeds, thus making it a vegan alternative to fish oil products. Chia seeds are documented to offer more ALA Omega-3 than fish oil or flax seed oil and are considered to be one of the planet’s richest and most sustainable sources of this essential fatty acid (EFA). Each of Essential Formula’s four CHIA OMEGA products will be encapsulated in a totally vegan capsule making CHIA OMEGA formulas a leading vegan whole food option to fish oil.

William Schoor, a founder of Essential Formulas explains that the CHIA OMEGA line goes even further than solely being a vegan alternative to fish oils.

“This remarkable line of products combines not only the high quality Chia Omega-3 oil required to support a healthy Omega-3-to-6 ratio, but also augments key dietary and antioxidant support for optimum health and convenience.”

The four CHIA OMEGA formulas include:

CHIA OMEGA + CoQ10: Adds antioxidant CoQ10 to support cardiovascular and metabolic health while Chia seed oil supports healthy heart and mind cognitive functions.*

CHIA OMEGA + Vitamin D3 (vegetarian, not vegan): Quite possibly the world’s first product to combine cold-pressed Chia seed oil with highly bioavailable Vitamin D3. Known to support both bone health and healthy mood*, Vitamin D3 is a synergetic addition to Omega-3, which support healthy heart function and mental cognition.*

CHIA OMEGA + Enzymes: The first Omega-3 supplement to combine cold-pressed Chia seed oil with Lipase, one of nature’s finest digestive enzymes. Plant-sourced Lipase supports the healthy digestion of dietary fats, while Omega-3 is known to support cardiovascular and joint health, as well as healthy cognition function.*

CHIA OMEGA + EPA & DHA: One of the world’s first product to combine cold-pressed Chia seed oil with enhanced portions of plant-sourced EPA and DHA. DHA helps maintain healthy nerve, eye, and brain cells, while both EPA and DHA support heart health, and Chia seed Omega-3 support mental clarity and heart health.* It’s an unrivaled Omega-3 powerhouse!

“For consumers looking for an alternative to fish oil with the bonus of additional dietary and anti-oxidant support, our CHIA OMEGA formulations deliver in an impressive way,” said Schoor.
