 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH CRODA
NourishLife has partnered with Croda, the British developer of “Lorenzo’s Oil” for the highly concentrated omega 3 used in the formulation. Utilizing pharmaceutical grade omega-3 oil produced at Croda's Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Certified UK Facility, the final product will have the ideal ratio of the active EPA and DHA compounds.
In the absence of a designed formula, children are consuming a variety of doses and variations of nutrients and according to parental reports, are realizing various improvements in speech and coordination. The intention of this formula is to get clinical validation and offer parents and practitioners a patent-protected, evidence-based professional product.

The proposed clinical trial is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design and is currently seeking funding. This study will be the first of its kind.
