About the company

Barlean's Organic Oils makes premium organic dietary supplements and functional foods, centering on flax oil and expanding to omega-3s from fish and algae, greens, vitamins, and other organic products. Its flax oil is produced by a cold-press method in GMP-certified facilities with proprietary processes to preserve purity and potency, and its Seriously Delicious emulsified oils improve taste and absorption. The company sets itself apart with a long family heritage, a commitment to freshness (replacing store shelves every six months), and a wide range of natural products that use emulsified blends to minimize fishy flavors. Its goal is to provide high-quality, natural supplements that support health and wellness while operating responsibly and using profits to fund outreach programs.
