Chapel Hill, NC -- (SBWire) -- 01/17/2011 -- The Source-Omega company is an innovator in DHA EPA algae oil products for heart and triglyceride applications, also in NIDDM patients.

OMEDHA(TM) is planned and formulated for Indian markets.

The Source-Omega company's second branded offering, OMEDHA™, is based on 3 years of dose-response research and a recently submitted manuscript review on the Indian diabetes dilemma and uses of algae oil omega-3s as a superior postrandial triglyceride treatment over fish oils, especially in a vegetarian and a patient with fish allergy.

Dr Scott Doughman, the company President and Chief Scientist will be traveling to India in February this year as a 10 year Visiting Faculty in Biosciences at the internationally renowned Sai University (SSSIHL).
