Their Story
Before Omega3 Innovations, Drs. Bo Martinsen and Anne-Marie Chalmers ran independent practices in Oslo, Norway. From their extensive medical backgrounds, they knew that omega-3 fatty acids could dramatically improve the health of their patients. But in spite of their recommendations, patients struggled taking the recommended omega-3 supplements. They didn’t like drinking bad-tasting oil or swallowing handfuls of capsules.
Seeking a solution to their patients’ compliance problem, the doctors began to research omega-3s. In the process, they discovered a little known fact: Truly fresh fish oil, just like fresh fish from a fine seafood restaurant, had no bad taste or smell. The only thing was, a truly fresh omega-3 supplement did not exist on the consumer market.
Moving to the United States, Drs. Bo and Anne-Marie founded Omega3 Innovations in 2006 and developed Omega Cure®, a full-spectrum omega-3 oil with exceptionally low oxidation levels. Since then, the doctors have gone further, creating the Omega Cookie® and Omega Passion® chocolates, which deliver a salmon dinner’s worth of omega-3s in the form of tasty breakfast meal replacements.
Today, Omega3 Innovations is continuing to trailblaze the omega-3 industry with its focus on freshness, potency, and ease of use.
