"In traditional delivery systems like soft gels, the omega-3s in cod liver oil need to be gradually broken down by stomach acids in order to be absorbed in the small intestine,” said Nordic Naturals research advisor, Bradley West.
The company said each of its stevia-sweetened satchels contained 500mg of long chain fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which could enter the bloodstream in as little as 15 minutes.
Each satchel also contain 1200IU of vitamin D3.
"Omega-3 Effervescent is the ultimate solution for individuals with digestive challenges, or those that find it hard to swallow soft gels, as well as the perfect way to ensure compliance when traveling," said West.
