Overview
Barlean's Organic Oils makes organic dietary supplements and functional foods, focusing on flaxseed oil via a cold-press method and expanding to omega-3s from fish and algae, greens, vitamins, and other natural supplements. Its products are produced in GMP-certified facilities with proprietary processes to preserve purity and potency, including emulsified blends like Seriously Delicious that improve absorption and remove fishy flavors. The company differentiates itself through a long family heritage, a distinctive cold-press flax oil technique, a broad line of natural omega-3 and greens products, and a commitment to freshness by rotating store shelves every six months. Its goal is to deliver premium wellness products while supporting outreach programs with profits.
