Coromega uses an exclusive production process that transforms the highest quality pharmaceutical grade omega-3 oil into a creamy, delicious chocolate and orange tasting pudding-like emulsion. Omega-3s derived from marine oils are recognized for their cardiovascular, joint, neonatal, skin, immune system, and brain and eye health benefits.

Coromega is a proprietary emulsified form of the Omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, protected and stabilized with vitamins C and E (natural vitamin E). The unique Coromega delivery system offers superior bioavailability (three times that of a softgel) in a single-serving squeeze packet to ensure purity and freshness. In addition to its purity, Coromega is user-friendly with a delightful, chocolate and orange "pudding-like" taste that is ideal for all ages of consumers. Its unique packaging makes consumption extremely convenient. Consumers can mix Coromega, which is patented worldwide, with yogurt or orange juice or enjoy it directly from the single-serve packet.

Coromega is an all natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids from pharmaceutical grade marine oil. All contaminants have been removed through a series of sophisticated cleaning processes, including molecular distillation, to provide a pure and concentrated source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids in chocolate and orange flavored Coromega have been shown in clinical trials to reduce heart disease, benefit triglyceride levels and reduce inflammation.

For additional health benefits, please see our Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids webpage.

Benefits of Chocolate and Orange Coromega:

The omega-3 fatty acids in chocolate/orange Coromega benefit normal triglyceride levels, circulatory function, vascular tone, and brain function. The omega-3 DHA is the primary fatty acid in brain, retina and nerve tissue. The omega-3s in Coromega also benefit a healthy cardiovascular system and normal cholesterol levels.

Scientific benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in Coromega*:

• Cardiovascular health
• Mental and Nervous System Health
• Reduces blood platelet "stickiness"
• Healthy cholesterol levels
• Healthy triglyceride levels
• Helps maintain normal heart rhythm
• Pregnancy, fetal, and newborn health
• Promotes overall joint health and wellness
• Promotes relief from Rheumatoid arthritis and many forms of chronic inflammation, like Lupus
• Promotes mother's health and optimal development of her child's brain, nerves and eyes during pregnancy & breast feeding
• Promotes fat metabolism for weight control
• Helps to maintain healthy insulin levels
• Skin health (psoriasis, eczema, etc.)

How Coromega Dietary Supplements Function:

The omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, found in Coromega benefit normal brain development, nervous system function, and eyesight. These fatty acids are thought to be protective of the body, reducing the risk of developing arthritis, high blood pressure, some cancers, and heart disease. Most omega-3 fatty acid studies have focused on the association these fats have with heart health. According to the American Dietetic Association, omega-3 fatty acids "are believed to contribute to an overall vascular environment less prone to occlusion by atherosclerotic plaques".

There has been a strong correlation between omega-3 fatty acids and cardiovascular health in many observational studies. Researchers have conducted numerous well-designed interventional clinical trials that have shown decreased mortality from cardiovascular disease, particularly myocardial infarction in the past twenty years.

In the GISSI-3 {Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’infarto Miocardio (GISSI)-Prevenzione}, 11,324 people were given 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids or control for 24 months. This study showed that individuals given omega-3 fatty acid supplements had a 45% decrease in threat of sudden cardiac death and a 20% reduction in all-cause mortality.

All of the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular health are so well recognized that the American Heart Association has published statements since 1996 supporting increased fish intake and/or omega-3 fatty acids from marine oil supplements.

Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic and may positively modulate the immune system. Clinical trials, while not decisive at this time, substantiate the use of omega-3 fatty acids in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer&#S8217;s, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Research is continuing on the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids and disease states including asthma and other diseases of the immune system.

Bioavailability Studies of Emulsified Flavored Marine Oil (Coromega)

As clinical scientific research continues to reveal the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of supplemental omega-3 fatty acids, demand for marine oil supplements and related omega-3 products will grow. Enhanced demand will create a need to provide marine oil in more pleasing and more effective delivery systems that are more agreeable to consumer needs, taste, and convenience.

Emulsified flavored marine oil products, like chocolate and orange flavored Coromega, have emerged as a way of providing omega-3 fatty acids from marine oil in a form that not only tastes good but also in a form that is already emulsified and more bioavailable.

Recent work from our laboratory has examined the bioavailability of an emulsified flavored marine oil product (Coromega) vs. customary encapsulated marine oil in a short-term feeding trial in men. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either of the products following an overnight fast. Plasma samples were taken from venous blood draws at baseline, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours following the ingestion of the equivalent of 4 grams of marine oil from either product.

One week after the beginning of the study, the study protocol was repeated with the opposite oil. Subjects fasted during the first 8 hours of study and were advised to eat low-fat meals for the rest of the study. Fatty acid profiles were then determined for plasma total phospholipids for each time point with baseline values serving as control. Percentage differences in specific fatty acids in individuals were then compared to baseline and the alternative treatment to assess bioavailability.

This study suggested that emulsified marine oil, like chocolate and orange flavored Coromega, is more bioavailable and therefore may be more beneficial. Levels of eicosapentaenoic acids (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) not only increased faster in subjects taking emulsified marine oil but also increased to a greater extent throughout the 2-day study period.

Coromega will transform the way people take marine oil and may be an efficient tool to guarantee greater study compliance in study subjects adverse to marine oil capsules.

*The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the following statement regarding omega-3 fatty acids: The scientific evidence about whether omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is suggestive, but not conclusive. Studies in the general population have looked at diets containing marine and the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and it is not known whether diets or omega-3 fatty acids in marine may have a possible effect on a reduced risk of CHD. It is not known what benefit omega-3 fatty acids may or may not have on risk of CHD in the general population. Other claims regarding the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (PUFA/omega-3 fatty acids from marine oil) have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
