Nuseed® is a land-based source of omega-3 fatty acids (ω3FA), containing significant amounts of DHA and ALA. Nutriterra® provides the first non-marine source of long-chain ω3FA to help meet dietary requirements and the growing consumer product demand for these fatty acids, while reducing the environmental impact of extensive fishing of oily fish, the major source of long-chain ω3FA. Nuseed and its partners recognized an opportunity to sustainably meet the increasing omega-3 demand, while preserving marine resources.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been the subject of extensive research, with beneficial effects reported in numerous studies. This white paper presents detailed scientific information on the importance of ω3FA and the omega-6 fatty acid (ω6FA) to ω3FA ratio to human health, the shortfall between intake and recommendations, and the need for a sustainable supply. Additionally, it summarizes the research undertaken by Nuseed and its partners to create the ω3 canola oil and confirms the safety and efficacy of this novel oil, as well as the regulatory and marketing aspects of Nuseed’s unique total ω3 oil, Nutriterra.
