Nutrition 21 gains license for ProBiomega

PURCHASE, N.Y. Nutrition 21 on Friday announced that the company has obtained an exclusive license for a patented combination of a probiotic and omega-3 fish oil from ProbioHealth and ProbioFerm.

"The probiotic included in the exclusive license, Lactobacillus casei ATCC 3945, has shown enhanced stability when mixed with omega-3 fish oil," stated James Komorowski, VP R&D at Nutrition 21. "The omega-3 fish oil coats the probiotic and provides a beneficial barrier to air and moisture," he said. "So not only will consumers obtain the digestive health and heart health benefit from the probiotic and omega-3 fish oil, but the combination also enhances the shelf life of the finished product."

"This new product, called ProBiomega, is the only product available that combines the benefits of a probiotic and omega-3 fish oil,” added Michael Zeher, Nutrition 21 president and CEO. “We are very excited to enter the fast-growing probiotic market with this unique product formulation."
