Omega-3 Learning
International Omega-3 Learning and Education Consortium for Health and Medicine
Established in December 2007, the International Omega-3 Learning and Education Consortium for Health and Medicine is comprised of scientists and educators from around the world who are striving to improve human health through nutrition education. Formed to facilitate learning by consumers and healthcare professionals about omega-3 fatty acids in food, nutrition, and medicine; disseminate educational materials about omega-3 fatty acids for improving consumer health and nutrition; and advance education concerning technologies for broadening the food applications for these nutrients that benefit humans, the Consortium is making an effort to bring this information to all parts of the globe.
Throughout the educational website, you can find answers to basic questions about omega-3 fatty acids such as what they do, why you need them, where to find them, and how to assess if you are getting the right amount; as well as having access to a variety of materials that includes: articles, newsletters, product databases and research findings. Tailored to the needs of teachers and their curriculums, we also provide exercises, lectures, CD-ROMS and fact sheets.
With the global population eager for information on how to improve the quality of life for their families, the Consortium is a beneficial instrument in this pursuit for nutrition information. Omega-3 learning provides vital, unbiased and reliable information in an effort to be the leading global authority for discovery, learning and engagement in omega-3 fatty acids aimed at improving health and advancing the use of omega-3 fatty acids in food, nutrition and medicine.
