In response to consumer demand for plant-based omega 3s and the global shortage of chia seeds, Valensa International has launched a new portfolio of formulations based on the Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) omega 3 ingredient— supercritical CO2 Perilla seed extract. Perilla seed CO2 extract has the highest ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids of any known seed oil — a remarkable 6:1— and typically 50% to 60% ALA content, which is twice that of chia seed extract. The foundation products in the new lineup are Verilla Perilla Seed Extract and VerillaMax Perilla Seed Flour. Verilla Perilla Seed Extract is available as oil, in softgels, capsules and in gummy bear form. VerillaMax Perilla Seed Flour is a 40% protein, 40% fiber dry product aimed at functional foods and bars. Formulated products in the new lineup include Kerilla Perilla Seed Extract + Krill Oil, Zanthin XP-3 and Z-Omega 3-6-9, a Chia/Perilla oil blend that is superior in ALA content to conventional chia oil. Each of these products feature supercritical CO2 Perilla seed extract in conjunction with ingredients that complement or enhance the nutritional profile of the formulation.
