Arlington Heights, IL ---May 2007 --- . Nordic Naturals recently filed a complaint alleging that Carlson Laboratories is infringing on certain patents and engaging in unfair competition. Carlson Laboratories denies any wrongdoing on its part and does not believe they are infringing on any patent of Nordic Naturals. The patents cover claims on the flavoring of the gelatin portion of the gelatin capsule.

Carlson fish oils are very popular due to the important health benefits omega-3’s provide along with the high-quality, pure Norwegian fish oil that Carlson provides. Scientists and doctors worldwide are encouraging people to consume more fish because of its health benefits. The omega-3’s, DHA and EPA, are important for brain and vision development, cardiovascular health, support for flexible joint function and skin health.

Carlson Laboratories has been in business for over 40 years, and is a leader in providing high quality Norwegian fish oils in the U.S. market. John Carlson, President of Carlson Laboratories, stated: “Our flavored cod liver oil was introduced in 1983, followed shortly by soft gelatin capsules. Our flavored fish oils have been on the market for over 20 years. We were one of the first nutritional supplement companies to realize the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils and make them available to our customers.”
