Nordic Naturals New High-Concentrate EFA Product Targets Joint and Immune Health
WATSONVILLE, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordic Naturals Physician
Exclusive Division announces the release of ProEFA Xtra. ProEFA Xtra
provides an exceptionally high concentration of three fatty acids essential
to human health. Designed to effectively support joint flexibility and
immune health, this concentrated product from Nordic Naturals delivers more
functional fatty acids per capsule than any other product, making it more
convenient to consume beneficial amounts of these healthful nutrients.
Each two-capsule serving of ProEFA Xtra provides 850 mg EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid) and 220 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), two Omega-3
fats from fresh, purified fish oil as well as 257 mg GLA (gamma linolenic
acid), an Omega-6 fat from borage oil, with added natural stabilizers. In
addition, these essential fatty acids (EFAs) are delivered in natural
triglyceride form, the form in which EFAs occur naturally in food and the
human body.
According to Joar Opheim, CEO of Nordic Naturals, "We have used this
formulation in lower concentration in previous clinical studies with very
beneficial results, hence we created this concentration to provide a higher
dose in fewer capsules."
"We believe ProEFA Xtra will provide substantial nutrition and health
benefit related to the beneficial prostaglandin production of PGE3 and
PGE1, and compliance will be easier," states Gretchen Vannice, MS, RD,
Research Coordinator for Nordic Naturals. "More clinical research is
planned in 2007."
One serving of Pro EFA Xtra meets the American Heart Association
recommendation of 1 gram of EPA and DHA for individuals concerned with
heart health. (Kris-Etherton et al, ATVB,2003;23:151-152.).
Nordic Naturals is the leader in omega-3 fish oils and EFA blends with
exceptional taste, freshness and purity levels. The company offers both a
retail line and a physician exclusive line of fish oils products, including
liquids, capsules and children's chewables. For information, please visit
