Eskimo-3

Eskimo-3 is a pioneering brand within the omega-3 supplements market. It has been used by practitioners and patients for over 30 years.

It was developed by Swedish Professor Tom Saldeen, who has earned the prestigious nickname ‘the father of omega-3’ thanks to his lifelong study of the benefits of omega-3. To date, Dr. Saldeen has published over 400 papers mainly focused on cardiovascular health, as well as two books on the benefits of Omega 3, which have been translated into 10 different languages.

Over 40 years ago two pioneering Danish physicians, Bang & Dyerberg, visited Greenland to live alongside the Inuit people and observe their diet. What they were about to discover would change the world of nutrition forever. Their endeavours would prove without question that remarkably, although the Inuit people consume large amounts of fat, they avoid many of the conditions associated with a high-fat diet, with heart disease virtually non-existent.

This was thought to be because the Inuit people consumed a diet mainly of fish and seafood. These are  rich sources of a special, healthy type of fat that is the now celebrated omega-3s.

Dr. Saldeen decided to build on this ground-breaking research together with a team of scientists led by himself. Upon further investigation, Professor Saldeen concluded what today is largely taken for granted is that omega-3 fatty acids are highly beneficial to health but often lacking in the Western diet.
