Nordic Naturals is expanding its portfolio of products, as well as improving access to them, through partnerships with mass retailers like Walmart.
 
Thousands of Walmart locations now have three omega-3 products from the company, including: Omega-3 softgels, which provide 690 mg of total omega-3s for everyday heart and cognitive support; Ultimate Omega, which supports heart, brain, and overall wellness with 1,280 mg of total omega-3s; and algae omega, which gives vegans and vegetarians a way to meet their daily recommended serving of omega-3 EPA and DHA to support vision, heart health, brain health, and immunity with 715 mg of total omega-3s derived from sustainably-sourced microalgae. Algae omega is certified 100% vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association and is non-GMO and hexane free.
 
More than 80% of adults have deficient EPA and DHA blood levels necessary to achieve cardiovascular health benefits, the company reported, citing a study based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data.   
 
“The majority of Americans don’t know they need omega-3 supplements, don’t have access to quality omega-3s, and certainly don’t have the grocery budget to afford the minimum omega-3 requirements sourced through food,” said Brian Terry, director of U.S. retail sales for Nordic Naturals. “We believe everyone should have access to affordable, high-quality omega-3 supplements, which is why our partnership with Walmart is so important to our mission.”
 
 Nordic Naturals is participating in Walmart’s May Wellness Days, which start on May 1^st. Walmart visitors can receive a 30% discount on any Nordic Naturals product.
