Oceans Omega added this exciting new product to the Omega Infusion brand following the overwhelmingly positive response to their Omega Infusion Omega-3 enhanced water that was introduced to consumers earlier this year.  The increasing popularity of functional beverages and liquid supplements is a testament to the fact that more than 40% of Americans either cannot or do not like taking pills. Nevertheless, "…supplementation may be a necessity and not an option"¹, because people rely on food to obtain essential fatty acids yet the typical Western diet is deficient in Omega-3s². Omega Infusion shots provide the highly sought-after fish oil benefits of Omega-3s EPA/DHA, in a potent liquid dietary supplement. The 2oz. bottles can be consumed individually or added to water or seltzer as a delicious beverage alternative.

"We are excited to be the first company in the world to produce an Omega-3 fortified liquid health shot under featuring our proprietary ingredients," said Benjamin D. Mamola, Chief Executive Officer of Oceans Omega.   "Our company's ability to deliver Omega-3 fatty acids in delicious traditional products is extremely gratifying knowing that Omega-3 fatty acids are shown to support cognitive function and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."

Research shows that consumers are actively looking for Omega-3 fortified food and beverages. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation and may help lower the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's and arthritis. Omega Infusion shots are a delicious, fun and easy way to get the health-enhancing benefits of Omega-3s!
