Super Salvia is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids and contains natural antioxidants. It is available as raw material for use in Functional Foods, Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements.

Super Salvia's unequaled omega-3 fatty acid stability is a result of the natural antioxidants it contains. Oxidation of food lipids is a major concern for both consumers and manufacturers. If not controlled, oxidation can produce off-flavors (typically a fishy flavor), and promotes degenerative diseases, cataracts, immune system decline, and brain dysfunction.

The natural antioxidants in Super Salvia gives it an enormous advantage over all other sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Super Salvia when used as a source of omega-3 fatty acids does not require the addition of artificial antioxidants, such as, vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to nullify the protector effects of cardiovascular drugs, and actually promotes oxidation when used at higher levels.

Super Salvia has no cholesterol. This is different than fish meat, fish oil, and fish meal all of which contain significant amounts.

For health conscious consumers this gives Super Salvia an important advantage compared to fish products.
