Isagenix® recently welcomed a unique visitor: One of the discoverers and leading experts of omega-3 fatty acids, Dr. Jorn Dyerberg. He visited with Isagenix leaders, including Co-Founder Jim Coover and Chief Science Officer Dr. Bill Wheeler, to share the story of his discovery of omega-3 fatty acids and to talk about the huge body of research that has piled up over the last 35+ years.
Recognized as the world’s foremost leading authority of omega-3s, Dr. Dyerberg serves as scientific adviser for Marine Nutraceutical Corporation, the manufacturer we partner with who supplies our omega-3 softgels for IsaOmega Supreme®.
Dr. Dyerberg and former colleague, Hans Olaf Bang, are credited with the landmark discovery behind omega-3s, based on their research with Greenland’s Inuit or Eskimo population back in 1970s. Since their publication, there have been more than 900 human studies completed on the positive health effects of omega-3s.
