World's Finest Fish Oil
|
|
Our "whole food" Omega-3 Salmon Oil supplements contain only unrefined oil from wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon: a fish whose renowned purity is reflected in the pristine contents of our naturally colorful capsules.
Unlike standard fish oils, our naturally pure Sockeye Salmon Oil does not need to be chemically refined: a process that can damage omega-3s. Instead, our oil's purity and potency are certified by NSF.
As a result, our whole, unrefined Sockeye Salmon Oil retains all of the omega-3s (EPA & DHA), vitamin D, phospholipids, and fatty acids natural to whole Sockeye Salmon.
The rich orange hue of our Salmon Oil comes from its natural complement of astaxanthin: the super-potent antioxidant pigment that gives Sockeye their distinctive color and protects our Salmon Oil's abundant omega-3s from oxidation.
In addition, ours was the first Salmon Oil supplement certified as sustainably sourced by the Marine Stewardship Council. 
We encapsulate our Salmon Oil in pure fish gelatin, and offer special varieties for special needs:
Smaller Softgels (500 mg)
Liquid Salmon Oil for children and folks who may have trouble swallowing our 1,000 mg softgels
Lemon-Flavored Salmon Oil for folks who experience bounce-back.

Canadian Sockeye Fisheries Declared Sustainable
Our Alaskan salmon is already certified sustainable
now, so are the Canadian fisheries that supply the sockeye in some of our canned Wild Red products
by Craig Weatherby
Now, you can color every can of Vital Choice Wild Red™ Sockeye a bright “sustainable blue” … at least in your mind’s eye.
Why is that?
When you see the bright blue symbol of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) on any seafood product, it signals that you can choose it without sustainability worries.
All of our canned Wild Red™ Alaskan Sockeye products were already certified sustainable by the independent Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
And last week, the two British Columbian (Canadian) fisheries that supply the wild salmon for virtually all of our canned Wild Red™ Pacific Sockeye were declared sustainable by the MSC. (View the product list below.)
Specifically, the MSC certification covers the Skeena River and Nass River fisheries, which supply our canned Wild Red™ Pacific Sockeye
The MSC certification for these fisheries includes dozens of conditions and requirements intended to further improve sustainability practices … and certification can be revoked if these steps are not taken.
And it requires annual surveillance audits designed to monitor performance of the newly certified sockeye fisheries, and ensure that they continue to meet MSC’s rigorous environmental standards.
Our sustainability stance
We rely on independent bodies to certify the sustainability of the fisheries that supply our fish and shellfish.
The MSC certification has many benefits. First and foremost it promotes healthy oceans by increasing demand for the most well managed fishery resources, and reducing it for poorly managed or depleted fish stocks.
And, promoting seafood sustainability makes good sense, since it helps ensure that the products we select will continue to be available – and we hope to serve you with great wild seafood for ...

Brainy Omega-3 Bulletin from Science Summit
Omega-3 expert Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., presents the 3rd in a series of reports on news from the recent fat-science summit meeting
by Craig Weatherby
The second of the two was the 2010 gathering of the International Society for Study of Fats & Lipids (ISSFAL), held in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
We asked expert attendee Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., to summarize ISSFAL presentations that addressed various topics, including brain, heart, and metabolic health.
Dr. Nettleton is a widely published expert on omega-3 science and seafood health-nutrition topics. She issues regular fatty acid science updates in her great Fats of Life (consumer-oriented) and PUFA (scientist-oriented) e-newsletters.
Her first report concerned omega-3s’ apparent or potential impacts on metabolism, with implications for the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the diabetes it often forecasts. (See “Omega-3 Summit Report, Part 1”.)

Tonight, we present the third of her reports, focused on the role of dietary omega-3 fats in brain health. This report covers the role of omega-3s in brain function and performance.
We'll publish the second part of her brain research bulletin, focused on mental health, in our next issue.
What’s going on in your head? Fish fat is part of the answer ...

Glazed Salmon with Dijon Mustard Sauce
Today’s simple, quick, delicious recipe comes from superior food blogger and personal cooking instructor Helen Rennie of Natick, Massachusetts.
Helen's lifelong love for cooking led her to leave a computer science career and take an internship at the famed Casablanca Restaurant in Harvard Square, and then become a full-time personal cooking instructor at her own kitchen in Natick, Massachusetts.
Her blog “Beyond Salmon” has everything you ever wanted to know about fish and other musings on all things culinary.
Concerning this fast, easy recipe, Helen writes that it “… was born one weekday night when I needed a 10 minute dinner. It was surprisingly good.” We agree!

Lower Breast Risk Linked to Fish Oil
Large U.S. study links fish oil supplements to one-third lower risk of a breast cancer diagnosis; No reduction was seen with soy or herbal supplements
by Craig Weatherby
Though much remains to be discovered, we know a lot about omega-3s and cancer already … virtually all of it good, and urgently needing exploration and confirmation.
Several large population studies – and a few small clinical trials – published over the past several years found links between diets rich in omega-3s from fish oil and a reduced risk of various cancers.
And, significantly, cell studies provide highly plausible biological explanations for these encouraging statistical associations.
(For links to some of our past coverage, see the “Recent research on omega-3s” sidebar, below.)
Until now, there’s never been a substantial study that looked for possible links between the most promising supplements and a woman’s risk of breast cancer.

Recent research on omega-3s and breast health
The past decade has seen growing research into the potential effects of omega-3s on breast cancer risks.
These are some of the highlights of our coverage … to see all of our reports, search our news archive for “breast”:
|
So the results of a very large epidemiological study from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are making headlines worldwide.
In short, the study showed that women who took fish oil regularly were 32 percent less likely to develop breast cancer over a six-year period (Brasky TM et al. 2010).
Significantly, the researchers found no associations between breast cancer rates and any other supplements that have been proposed as possible anti-cancer aids … including soy.
Fish oil shines in unprecedented epidemiological study
The Seattle team surveyed 35,016 postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76, who were taking part in the Hutchinson Center’s Vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) study.
The goal was to compare the women’s breast health over the six year ...
