LAVAL, QC, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Neptune Wellness
Solutions Inc. ("Neptune" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX:
NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated health and wellness
company focused on plant-based, sustainable and purpose-driven
lifestyle brands, today announced the launch of Forest Remedies' plant-based Multi Omega 3-6-9
gummies and soft gels.
Forest Remedies' new plant-based
multi-omega soft gels and gummies use all natural oil from
Ahiflower® grown in the United
Kingdom, which is a much more sustainable and eco-friendly
source of omegas 3, 6, and 9 in contrast to fish or krill
oil,. In fact, one acre of Ahiflower provides the same amount
of oil as 320,000 anchovies. The use of Ahiflower oil means
Forest Remedies' new multi-omega
gummies and soft gels do not contribute to the overfishing of
marine life, which has become a global ecological disaster over the
past 50 years and led to an 80% reduction in the Antarctic's krill
population since the 1970s.
"Forest Remedies' new multi-omega
gummies and soft gels, made from Ahiflower seed oil instead of fish
oil, is yet another example of Neptune's commitment to
manufacturing and selling plant-based, sustainable and eco-friendly
health and wellness products," said Michael
Cammarata, President and Chief Executive Officer of Neptune
Wellness. "We are revolutionizing supplement packaging with a
recyclable and compostable outer tube, as well as a compostable and
biodegradable interior bag. The product is vegan and our
plant-based sourcing does not contribute to the overfishing of
marine life. I could not be more proud of our efforts to
formulate a unique, plant-based dietary supplement that is good for
you and good for the planet."
Forest Remedies soft gels and gummies are available in a base
Multi Omega 3-6-9 formula, as well as an Elderberry Immune formula
made with elderberry extract. The gummies are available in
Orange Blossom and Fresh Raspberry flavors. Forest Remedies Multi Omega 3-6-9 gummies and
soft gels are vegan, gluten free, non-GMO, and made in the
U.S.A. with no fishy aftertaste
like many fish oil-based omegas. Additionally, the Ahiflower
oil is clinically proven to be up to four times more effective than
flaxseed oil at increasing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Forest Remedies soft gels and gummies are available to consumers
on-line today and can be purchased by visiting the Forest Remedies
website at www.forestremedies.com. New users can sign up for
the Forest Remedies newsletter and receive 20% off their first
purchase.
