Looking for the latest in Omega-3 Product Innovation?
Introducing SachaOmega™, processed from organic, cold-pressed extra virgin Sacha Inchi Oil. This oil contains the highest content of unsaturated fatty acids on the market, with 92% composition of Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9. SachaOmega™ is derived from Sacha Inchi, a legendary plant of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.

Best Plant Source of Omega-3
Sacha Inchi seeds are among the best plant sources for omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 essential fatty acids. In addition, Sacha Inchi is high in protein, iodine and antioxidant vitamins A and E. It is also full of essential and non-essential amino acids, and has only 6% saturated fatty acids compared to its 93% unsaturated fatty acids.

A Multitude of Applications
Nutritional Supplement: due to its high content of omega fatty acids, SachaOmega™ is the perfect supplement to be taken by people who do not regularly eat fish or omega-rich vegetables in large enough quantities.

Food: SachaOmega™ is delicious sprinkled on salads or cooked vegetables due to its pleasant, slightly nutty flavor. Sacha Inchi oil won the Médaille d'or (Gold Medal) at the AVPA Specialty Foods Commodities competition in Paris in 2007. Additionally, it can be used as an ingredient for the preparation of different blends.

Cosmetics: In the cosmetics industry, SachaOmega™ acts as binding medium and as a lathering agent for soap. It also has a nutritional effect on the skin, and it helps make hair soft and glossy. As a topical moisturizer, Sacha Inchi oil has been used since ancient times for nourishing hair, skin and nails by strengthening the natural barriers of cell walls.

SachaOmega™ can be combined with other ingredients, developing new products and thus enriching them with its high content of omegas and simultaneously increasing their retail value. We supply SachaOmega™ bulk or in high quality vegetarian gel capsules.
