Manager's Field Trip

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Ambo foods, vendors of the market for the last 4 years. Dr. Ann-Marie and husband, Dr. Bo, have developed Omega Cure, a liquid form of Omega-3 and this last year have introduced an Omega-3 cookie that's getting attention around the country. Their large manufacturing facility in Venice is state of the art to say the least. Special quarantined baking areas along with other germ free sections for manufacturing are part of Ambo's commitment to a healthy way of life. Another great slice of the Sarasota Farmers Market.

The Omega Cookie Love Story...

The American Heart Association (AHA) just released a breaking news statement about managing high triglyceride levels in the blood. One third of all Americans suffer from elevated triglycerides, making them more vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases.

According to the AHA, prevention or treatment should include using two to four grams of a marine-based omega-3. This amount equals the oil found in a full salmon dinner or swallowing seven to 14 capsules of fish oil every day. In addition, AHA recommends increasing intake of fibers, reducing fructose, trans fats and saturated fats. With this approach, patients can expect to lower triglyceride levels by 20 to 50 percent.

Physician-directed Ambo Foods, based in Venice, FL, has succeeded in manufacturing an award-winning, tasty breakfast or travel cookie that contains the AHA-recommended amount of two grams of EPA/ DHA (equivalent to seven capsules of omega-3 from fish), five grams of whole fibers from oats, 800 IU of vitamin D and no added sugar or preservatives.

"The Omega Cookie is the healthiest little meal you can eat. Regular consumption can literally change the health of millions of Americans," says CEO Bo Martinsen, MD, of Ambo Foods. "Our preliminary clinical test results support the AHA statement and show that most people can now cover their omega-3 needs by just eating one Omega Cookie per day. The combination of fiber and fish oil seems to make Omega Cookie more potent than taking omega-3 supplements alone."

What is not in the cookie is equally important to the physician founders, Drs. Martinsen, and Chalmers. Ambo Foods eliminated all processed ingredients, such as trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup and preservatives from the baking process. Moreover, the Omega Cookie comes in four delicious flavors: chocolate chip, cranberry, ginger raisin and tropical fruits. For more information, please contact: Bo Martinsen, MD
