A true breakthrough, New Harvest™ is the first Omega-3 supplement ingredient to offer the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acid, EPA (normally only found in fish and fish oil supplements) directly from a fish-free source. Learn more.
What are the benefits of New Harvest™?
New Harvest™ offers the long-chain fatty acid EPA. Clinical studies have shown that EPA promotes heart health and helps to support emotional well-being. Additionally, New Harvest™ may also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels in the body. Learn more
I'm a vegetarian. Won't flaxseed oil give me the same Omega-3 benefits as New Harvest™?
No. Flaxseed and most other vegetarian sources of Omega-3 only offer the short-chain fatty acid, ALA, which must convert to EPA in the body. However, only about 5% of ALA is converted to EPA in the body. With New Harvest™, you get the EPA your body needs, directly from a non-fish source. Learn more
New Harvest™ is made in a yeast fermentation process – that is covered by more than 60 U.S. patents and patent applications. The product is 100% vegetarian. New Harvest™ exceeds all standards of freshness set by the World Health Organization and the Council for Responsible Nutrition. Learn more
New Harvest™ is manufactured in the United States and Canada — in accordance with FDA current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
Has New Harvest™ been tested for safety?
The safety of New Harvest™ was assessed in numerous studies, which were reviewed by FDA as part of a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification.
I’m pregnant. Should I take New Harvest™?
Supplements made with New Harvest™ are not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. As with any over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and other supplements, we recommend you talk to your doctor to determine what’s best for you.
Can New Harvest™ interfere with any medical conditions or other medications I am taking?
It’s important that you talk to your doctor or healthcare professional before taking dietary supplements of any kind. While the recommended serving of New Harvest™ can safely be taken with most medications and medical conditions, this is especially important if you are taking medications such as anticoagulants and blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or anticipate surgery. Additionally, New Harvest™ is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing.
Should New Harvest™ be taken on a full or empty stomach?
The benefits of New Harvest™ are not affected by whether you take it on a full or empty stomach. However, people who have sensitive stomachs may want to take their Omega-3 supplement with food.
Does New Harvest™ cause “fishy burp” the way some fish oil supplements do?
With New Harvest™ you get the health benefits of a long-chain Omega-3 fatty acid without the unpleasant aftertaste or odor that comes with some other supplement ingredients derived from fish.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of nutrients that are vital to your body functioning properly. Since most people do not get enough Omega-3s in their daily diets (through fish and other foods), it is often necessary to take a supplement to make up the difference. Omega-3 fatty acids should not be confused with trans fats or saturated fats, which are unhealthy or "bad" fats. Learn more
What’s the difference between EPA, DHA, and ALA?
Of the three main types of Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both long-chain fatty acids often found in fish and fish oil. EPA is mainly known for helping promote heart health, and DHA is often recognized for brain and learning development in infants. ALA (alpha linoleic acid) is a short-chain fatty acid that inefficiently converts (at a rate of about 5%) to EPA in the body, and is found in plant sources like flaxseed and dark leafy greens. Learn more
Is it necessary for me to take an Omega-3 supplement if I eat fish regularly?
The American Heart Association recommends healthy people eat at least two servings of fatty fish per week to promote heart health. Unfortunately, the average person in the U.S. does not get enough Omega-3 this way (the equivalent of approximately 500 mg of EPA and DHA per day). Learn more
What is the difference between ethyl esters and natural triglycerides?
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in two forms: ethyl esters and triglycerides. Omega-3's in concentrated fish oil supplements are typically in the ethyl ester form. New Harvest™ provides EPA in the triglyceride form which is like the natural form found in food.
Since the average diet in the U.S. is low in Omega-3s, getting “too much” is not usually a problem. However, it is important that you talk to your doctor to determine how much Omega-3 is right for you – particularly if you are taking anticoagulants or blood thinners, or already have a bleeding disorder.
