In March of this year, a California environmental group filed a lawsuit against several fish oil manufacturers claiming that their supplements contain unacceptable levels of PCBs. As many of you know, lawmakers banned toxic polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs) after researchers suspected their link to cancer thirty years ago. Under California’s Proposition 65, both manufacturers and retailers are required to tell consumers that their fish oil pills contain PCB toxins. I cannot say that this lawsuit surprises me.

In 2007, I attended Expo West in Anaheim, California – the largest health food and supplement convention in the world. At the time, I was interested in producing my own Omega-3 supplement, so I met with a number of fish oil companies. The focus of each meeting centered on the source of the Omega-3 oils: cod, herring and salmon— were most common. All of these fish oil manufacturers chose species that typically live for years, making them susceptible to long-term chemical exposure. When I asked the fish oil manufacturers about contaminants, they explained their oil purification process – which unfortunately entailed using chemical solvents to remove toxins.

As a naturopathic doctor and a consumer, I found it alarming that manufacturers used chemical solvents – especially in products intended to promote health! I was even more concerned about the probability that trace solvents would remain in supplements for consumers to ingest. In light of their disclosure, I walked away from our discussions believing that there must be a safer way of extracting Omega-3s.

Ultimately, I found a company that extracts Omega-3 oil from krill and went on to develop my own formula called OmegaKrill. Since krill is harvested in the unpolluted waters of the Antarctic Ocean, it is a much safer source of essential fatty acids. Unlike large fish, krill’s life span is around 90 days – which further eliminates the concern over contaminants. Compared to fish oil, it also contains triple the amount of Omega-3s and antioxidants.

To maximize antioxidant benefits and to preserve freshness, OmegaKrill’s oil is procured using a cold press processing method. Environmentally, krill is one of the most sustainable and abundant organisms on the planet so it is friendlier to our ecosystem than fish oil.

Today, tens of thousands reap the benefits of OmegaKrill and I am delighted to say it is one of the top-sellers at Dr. Newton’s Naturals.
