Omega Protein is the world's largest manufacturer of fish oils containing healthy, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that are rich in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). "Consumers should look for both EPA and DHA content on food packages. DHA-only products are missing EPA, a fatty acid vital to good heart health," said Joe von Rosenberg, pres. and CEO. "Our facility in Virginia is the only fully integrated operation in the United States that produces long-chain omega-3s containing both EPA and DHA."

After three years of dedicated work, the scientists from Chr. Hansen may be on the brink of a breakthrough. The company's researchers have discovered a lactic acid bacteria, which when consumed in a cultured dairy product such as a yogurt and potentially other food products, may reduce high blood pressure. The culture, named Cardi-04™, has been shown to reduce high blood pressure in animal studies. Chr. Hansen has filed a patent application for the culture, and expects it to be granted soon.
