Ocean Nutrition Canada Serves up a Major Milestone With Over 100 Billion MEG-3(R) Servings Consumed Globally

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (ots/PRNewswire) - Ocean Nutrition
Canada Limited (ONC), the world's largest Omega-3 EPA/DHA solutions
provider and supplier of MEG-3(R) brand Omega-3 EPA/DHA ingredients
has reached another milestone with over one hundred billion servings
consumed globally.

Omega-3 continues to be one of the most scientifically researched
ingredients in the world with more than 14,000 scientific studies
over the past 35 years. This scientific backing has given consumers
increased awareness and trust in Omega-3 EPA/DHA ingredients for
improving health. Frost and Sullivan forecasts the global Omega-3
dietary supplement and food ingredients categories will continue
growing in double digits annually until 2015.

One hundred billion servings...that is a lot of zeros, but what
does it mean? One hundred billion servings consumed globally
translates into fifteen servings of MEG-3(R) for every person on the
planet. It means that every day over twenty one million servings of
MEG-3(R) are consumed across the world. We could keep going, but we
think the one hundred billion speaks for itself.

ONC will be celebrating this milestone during the Vitafoods trade
show being held in Geneva, Switzerland from May 10-12th. Stop by ONC
stand #618 to see what makes ONC the world's most trusted supplier of
Omega-3 EPA/DHA. For more information on Vitafoods visit:

Jon Getzinger, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer stated, "This is
a huge milestone for ONC and the MEG-3(R) brand. This achievement
affirms our leadership position in the Omega-3 category and speaks
volumes about the quality and purity of MEG-3(R) ingredients."
Getzinger continued, "Consumers are learning about the importance of
Omega-3 EPA/DHA and know that when they pick up a product with
MEG-3(R) on it, they can trust the source(TM)."

We could give you a couple more reasons why consumers trust
MEG-3(R) products, but we'd rather give more than one hundred
billion.

About Omega-3:

Omega-3 is a family of essential fatty acids, including EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA
(alpha-linolenic acid). Oily fish (such as sardines, anchovies,
mackerel, and salmon) are the major known natural sources of Omega-3
EPA/DHA. ALA is found in plants, such as flax and chia. Although
Omega-3 EPA/DHA is important to overall good health, the human body
is not able to produce sufficient quantities on its own, so
supplementation is required, either by eating oily fish or foods
fortified with Omega-3 EPA/DHA, or by taking fish oil supplements.
