NC Company Partnering with South Africa Company to Offer Medical Food Product Internationally

Leave a comment

Source-Omega licenses Solal Technologies of Johannesburg, South Africa, to offer novel Vegetarian Omega-3 (SM) product with DHA and EPA from sustainable algae oil source.

Chapel Hill, NC, November 24, 2010 — Source-Omega, LLC ( http://www.source-omega.com ) is now offering private labeling of its vegetarian algae oil in international markets.

The company has licensed Solal Technologies of Johannesburg, South Africa, to offer Vegetarian Omega-3 (SM).

“Solal is an ideal business partner for Source-Omega,” said Dr. Scott Doughman, president and founder of Source-Omega. “Both companies have the same goal, offering a product that fills an important need not met with modern diets and lifestyle.”

The oil has been licensed for sale in the South African pharmaceutical market under a “medical food” label licensed to Solal under the Pure One™ brand.

“Medical food” is a relatively new category established in the 1988 amendments to the Orphan Drug Act. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that “medical foods” contain only ingredients classified as Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS). Algae oil omega-3, which is entirely plant-based, meets this standard, however the Pure One™ label in the U.S. and South Africa are designated Dietary Supplements and are not a drug.

Solal will offer Vegetarian Omega-3 in pharmacies, behind the counter, as recommended by physicians for management of a low omega-3 index and high triglyceride levels. It will also be offered as an anti-aging non-prescription supplement. Vegetarian Omega-3 will be available directly to patients, through retail pharmacies, physicians and health stores based in South Africa.

“We are pleased to have this relationship with Source-Omega to offer a product that is so important to maintaining health,” said Colin Levin, a vegetarian and a director of Solal. “This will be a win-win-win, for Solal, Source-Omega, and, most importantly, for our patients and customers.”

Source-Omega is also working on expanding its markets through other private labeling arrangements outside the United States.

The basis of the oil is Source-Omega’s patent-pending formula of DHA and EPA for cardiovascular, metabolic and cognitive health management, offered in supplements and medical food. Pure One™ offers optimized omega-3 dosages and clinically proven triglyceride lowering benefits with documented results.

Certain omega-3 dosages have been proven effective for management of plasma lipids. As a medical food, it can fulfill the omega-3 requirements associated with DHA and EPA deficiencies in vegetarians, people who cannot eat fish, and those with special dietary needs not met by omega-3 seed sources such as flax oil. Vegetarian Omega-3(SM) is offered in a soft carrageenan capsule.

About Solal Technologies (Pty) Ltd: Located in Johannesburg, Solal Technologies works and supplies online to physicians, pharmacies and other outlets based in South Africa. Other divisions of Solal include The Compounding Pharmacy of South Africa, an Integrative Medical Center and a Health Intelligence magazine covering the science of health. For more information please visit http://www.solaltech.com

About Source-Omega, LLC:
Located in Chapel Hill North Carolina, founded in 2007, Source-Omega developed the Pure One™ Formula out of the published academic work and innovations of Scott Doughman, Ph.D., Lipid Biochemist and a former National Institutes of Health funded omega-3 researcher, previously also an American Heart Association fellow with over 12 years of lipid research experience. Since 2007, the company has rapidly grown with a focus on high triglycerides and their Omega-3 DHA Therapy™ for results oriented omega-3 dosages. The product stability, ecological sustainability, vegan and Kosher registrations and research behind Pure One™, each lend qualifications that provide value added advantages. The Pure One™ Brand and Formula are available for licensing from Source-Omega, LLC under their field of use and US patent application number 12/727,006 filed with the US Trademark and Patent Office, March 18th, 2010.

Arrivu takes speech recognition to a higher level.

Atlanta, GA, November 25, 2010 — Computer text recognition is a novel concept that converts text to knowledge and it’s been researched in the universities for many years. But have you heard of a “text recognition” application development tool? Yes apparently it’s now possible to develop software programs by just chatting to your computer in plain English.

Delaware based Arrivu Technologies has developed an advanced text-to-knowledge text processing platform called Arrivu, which makes software programming possible via chat sessions. The tool is not just about quick and efficient coding but the highlight is you don’t need any computer programming skills. “English language-specific Arrivu has endless possibility,” claims Stephen Mallik, the founder of Arrivu Technologies ( http://www.arrivu.com ) and the brain behind Arrivu. “It’s amazing, imagine letting a computer know what you want and it automatically builds it for you.”

Arrivu basically lets a user chat with the computer to build Software Applications like order management, resource management and inventory management to name a few. Arrivu uses Artificial Intelligence to achieve this. Applications built using Arrivu are not static applications that does only what we build it to do. Since data is converted to knowledge by the Arrivu processor, the application can automatically re-organize the display instantaneously, based on the user inputs. Arrivu brings in tremendous visibility to the upper management by way of dashboard and charts from application data and non-application data sources such as emails and documents. Arrivu ( http://www.arrivu.com ) has built in business intelligence, which is a feature not available in any other platform. Arrivu completely changes the way software is built and used. Arrivu is a game changer.

Source-Omega Reviews DHA Retroconversion Metabolic Dosing Using Algae Oil Omega-3s as a Fish Oil Substitute

Leave a comment

“What all the human omega-3 red blood cell data independently points out is that DHA is always 3 to 8 fold more abundant than EPA in human blood and tissues, even after prolonged intake of high doses of omega-3s predominantly as EPA,” says company scientist.

Chapel Hill, NC, November 11, 2010 — Today, Source-Omega ( http://www.source-omega.com ) revealed knowledge gained from their review of the omega-3 literature and published research. “What all the human omega-3 Red Blood Cell data independently point out is that DHA is always 3 to 8 fold more abundant than EPA in human blood and tissues, even after prolonged intake of high doses of omega-3s predominantly as EPA,” says Scott Doughman, PhD., Chief Scientist at Source-Omega.

Source-Omega revealed their discussion, forwarding that composition studies in 1978 proved DHA is naturally the most abundant omega-3 form in the human body and blood in comparison to EPA levels in untreated individuals (Sanders et al., 1978). In 1986, a review by Herold and Kinsella of human volunteers treated with fish oil omega-3s revealed higher DHA fatty acid composition in red blood cells compared to EPA, despite high EPA intake (Herold and Kinsella, 1986).

Fish oils have been an abundant source of EPA, so fewer studies may have taken into consideration that DHA is the most abundant omega-3 long chain fatty acid because EPA was the main omega-3 given as a fish oil treatment.

When Conquer and Holub published on algae oil DHA treatment of human subjects in 1996, a detailed double-blind randomized placebo controlled study, the authors found blood omega-3 parameters consistent with humans taking high dosages of fish oil (Conquer and Holub, 1996). The 1996 study showed RBC increases in both DHA and EPA through accretion of DHA and retroconversion of DHA. Other metabolism studies have shown DHA is also a template that will provide all the C22, C20, and C18 omega-3s needed in the body through retroconversion, say Source-Omega scientists.

DHA delivers saturation levels of omega-3s to RBC membranes when the DHA dosage ( http://www.source-omega.com ) for adult clinical use begins with 1.0 g to 1.2 g DHA per day, which company results, or previous published studies show can provide saturation levels of omega-3s within 90 days (Arterburn et al., 2008).

The scientific literature shows high-dose DHA derived from microalgae lowers hypertriglyceridemia after 90 days of treatment, by up to 26 percent with at least 1 g DHA daily (reviewed by Ryan et al., 2009). With a safe, effective dosage range for any adult, the GRAS safety registration of algae oil and the dosage range have been positively ruled-upon, as such, by several international regulatory bodies.

“The summary of these historical studies together suggest ‘directional omega-3 metabolism‘, where fish oil is ‘uphill’ and algae oil is ‘downhill’. EPA intake leads to multistep synthesis to DHA with fish oil. DHA intake leads to a single step retroconversion to EPA with algae oil. The body knows how to balance its final levels from each direction, but ‘downhill’ appears more efficient at high omega-3 doses,” said Doughman.

Each method then flows towards a somewhat pre-defined homeostatic balance of cellular and tissue specific omega-3 compositions, the data suggest.

Since the DHA retroconvertion dosing strategy is the opposite of fish oil, Source-Omega’s ( http://www.source-omega.com ) patent pending claims are on the dosage use and method of 1200 mg DHA + 40 mg EPA per day as metabolically ideal for certain health claims and postprandial triglyceride lowering benefits [References Available upon request from Source-Omega].
