Plant-based multi-omega supplements are
made with Ahiflower® – a groundbreaking vegan alternative to fish
oil – and come in environmentally-friendly compostable
packaging
LAVAL, QC, March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Neptune Wellness
Solutions Inc. ("Neptune" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX:
NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated health and wellness
company focused on plant-based, sustainable and purpose-driven
lifestyle brands, today announced the launch of Forest Remedies
Multi Omega 3-6-9, a line of innovative supplements made with
Ahiflower oil, in Sprouts Farmers Market stores nationwide.
A plant-based, vegan alternative to fish
oil, Ahiflower oil delivers more quality omegas than other
natural plants or seed oils, proven up to four times more effective
than flaxseed oil*. The Forest Remedies Multi Omega product line
also comes in compostable, plastic-free packaging.
"Neptune Wellness is thrilled to launch Forest Remedies Multi-Omega 3-6-9 supplements to
offer consumers a cleaner plant-based effective source of omega
fatty acids as an alternative to supplements derived from
traditional fish-based oils," said Michael
Cammarata, Chief Executive Officer and President of Neptune.
"We're proud to prioritize clean, quality, plant-based products,
and expect Forest Remedies to make
great waves as consumers continue championing brands they feel good
about. National distribution with Sprouts Farmers Market marks
another important milestone in Neptune's progression into a
fully-integrated consumer packaged goods company with a diverse
suite of better-for-you brands, available in many of the country's
largest retail chains."
Forest Remedies Multi-Omega
supplements contain a balanced blend of 100 percent plant-based
omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids to support heart, brain, skin and
joint health† – with no unpleasant aftertaste or fish
smell. And it's clinically-proven to be up to four times more
effective than flaxseed oil as a source of Omega 3.*†
Ahiflower contains high amounts of Omega 3 SDA (stearidonic
acid) which the body can use more efficiently than
Omega 3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) found in flax, chia, hemp, and
other plant and seed oils.†
Vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, non-GMO-certified, made in the
USA and third-party lab
tested for safety, purity and potency, SKUs at launch
include:
- Multi Omega 3-6-9 Softgels
- Multi Omega 3-6-9 Gummies in natural Orange
Blossom flavor
"When formulating this product, we wanted to offer consumers all
of the benefits of omegas without the fishy aftertaste of a fish
oil supplement, while also working to improve the environment we
all live in," said Sibel Uslu Ph.D., Vice President of Product
Development at Neptune. "We're very proud to launch Forest Remedies multi-omega supplements that
check all the boxes—they taste great, are highly effective, pose no
known marine or ecological threat, and come in
environmentally-friendly compostable packaging—and make them more
readily available through Sprouts Markets."
As part of Neptune Wellness' dedication to plant-based products,
a portion of the proceeds from the sales of Forest Remedies products will be donated to One
Tree Planted, a non-profit tree planting charity, to help rebuild
forests around the world.
