GFCO certifies Nature's Most Powerful Whole Food
 
The Gluten-Free Certification Organization and Core Naturals, LLC,  announces 
that Salba(R) has received gluten-free certification. The GFCO, a  program of 
the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), provides an independent service  to 
supervise gluten-free food production according to a consistent, defined,  
science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections, in order to  achieve 
heightened consumer confidence and safety.
 
According to Mitch Propster, CEO, obtaining Gluten-Free Certification  
underscores Core Naturals' commitment to providing better health and nutrition  to 
people throughout the United States. Today, we are only just beginning to  
understand the millions of people who suffer from Celiac disease and the  
difficulty they have in maintaining a diet that controls the disorder, he said.  
Salba(R) can be a remarkable boon to this group because, as one of nature's most  
nutrient-dense whole foods, it can become a mainstay of a Celiac sufferer's  
diet. Salba(R) is the richest whole food source of Omega-3 fatty acids found in  
nature. Every serving (15 grams or approximately 2 flat tablespoons) of 
Salba(R)  provides over 3,000 mg of Omega-3s. That same serving provides over 5,000 
mg of  dietary fiber, with less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram 
for gram,  Salba(R)provides six times more calcium than milk, fifteen times 
more magnesium  than broccoli and carries a powerful Antioxidant (ORAC) rating 
of 1400 (forty  times the strength of red wine) - and it does all this while 
being gluten-free,  he added.
 
Salba(R) should be of particular interest to consumers interested with  
specific health issues, including weight loss, heart health and blood-glucose  
stabilization. Functional foods formulated with Salba(R) have the potential to  
make label claims in each of these areas.
