1) Which Omega Nutrition product is best for me?
All Omega Nutrition products are good but to determine
the one that is best for you depends on how healthy your diet
normally is, what you want to supplement, and what tastes
you love most. Custom design your own daily EFA program we
offer a variety of EFAs and EFA blends to incorporate into
your program:
- Hi-Lignan Flax Oil® is flax
oil with flax fiber added. Hi-Lignan® Flax Seed Oil
is a convenient all-in-one essential fatty acid (EFA) that
is especially useful for people who do not have a regular
source of lignans in their diets. Each tablespoon serving
of Hi-Lignan®
- Flax Seed Oil provides 6,800 mg of Omega-3
EFAs and 6 mg of lignans.
- Hi-Lignan® Nutri-Flax® Powder offers
an even higher level of lignan supplementation providing
43 mg of lignans for each tablespoon serving.
- We recommend Essential Balance® Junior Oil for children because of its pleasant, semisweet
taste.
2) Are there additives in Omega brand oils?
Omega Nutrition's oils are made from cold-pressed organic
nuts and seeds with no additives or preservatives. We do add
a blend of herbs and spices to the Garlic Chili Flax Oill and
Essential Balance Jr™ as a form of added flavor.
3) Does Omega Nutrition avoid the use
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)?
Omega Nutrition is in continual contact with the farmers
who supply us with nuts and seeds to ensure that their crops
are completely GMO-free. At this time organic crops are free
of GMO seeds.
4) Are your products certified Kosher?
Yes, the majority of our products are Kosher certified. Please
check the certification status of each product prior to ordering.
5) Who is responsible for certification of
organic oils?
Omega Nutrition's organic oils are certified by QAI - Quality Assurance International.
6) How do you certify organic? What are the
guidelines?
Omega Nutrition works with QAI - Quality Assurance International to ensure that our oils qualify as certified
organic. To begin the process we purchase all our organic
products from organic certified farmers. When seeking certification,
organic agencies meet with the farmers and Omega Nutrition's
manufacturing facility is inspected. The organic certification
process is undergone on an annual basis.
7) Why are Omega Nutrition oils packed in
opaque bottles?
If you can see the oil in a bottle, so can light. Light,
more than any other element, causes the most damage to unrefined
oil on the retail shelf. Proper packaging is, therefore, imperative.
Omega Nutrition's uses opaque HDPE containers to protect the
integrity of the EFAs inside. We use inert gas (non-reactive
with oil) to create an oxygen-free environment during the
manufacturing and bottling process. Please see the omegaflo® process
process for more information.
8) Which Omega Nutrition oil has the
richest source of Omega-3 EFA?
Omega Nutrition's Flax Seed Oil is comprised of over 50%
of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats providing you with the richest
source of Omega-3 essential fatty acid. Omega Nutrition has
created four Flax Seed Oil products for you to enjoy:
