hey there,
i am currently writing my bachelor thesis with the topic "Integrated communication concept for a product implementation [...]" for some health products in Kuwait. Therefore I need some information about omega-3 fatty acid products for my competition and market analysis.
can someone please tell me, send me a list or a link to a list which omega-3 fatty acid products are listed (plus  food supplements)?
It is kinda hard to find something from germany.

thanks a lot and i appreciate your help!

I remember looking for some fish oil when I first arrived in Kuwait and after checking a bunch of supplement shops I wasn't able to find anything so I just ordered online. I have yet to see rich seafood at the supermarket (salmon would be the only exception however it looks like it's been dead too long to eat), there is flaxseed oil and canola oil but you'll have to search to find it since corn oil seem to be the winner here. There is always beans and omega-3 eggs readily available and if you're lucky chia seed but it'll set you back about $30USD. Hope this helps!

chapman86 the omega-3 fatty acid products from Germany in Kuwait or any origin of such products in Kuwait.?

Hi ace117,
I'm searching for any omega-3 fatty acid products in kuwait. e.g.  food supplement pills, oils, etc. (especially on linseed oil / Leinöl basis)

I've found some food supplement pills online, but that is not what I'm searching for. It should be something buyable in stores. In Germany we've got some health food chains like "Reformhaus", but I don't know what stores like this Kuwait can offer. I've only heard that people are working on it. There's nothing tangible in this rumor.

best regards

Thanks. That's a start. I've categorized the omega-3 range of products which will be launched. all products are bio products.

there are
1) linseed oils:
- linseed oil (classic)
- borage (with borage oil)
- omega-3 woman with nightcandle seed oil (Oenothera biennis) and pomegranate seed oil
- lignan (cold-pressed linseed oil)
- dha with lemon (combination of the oils above)
- linseed oil with alga oil (vegan)
- linseed oil - cellgold (combination of various oils)

2) linseeds (good to eat with cereals, curd etc.):
- energy mix
- Linufit
- Oleolux nature

3) DHA Capsules (vegetarian Docosahexaenoic acid capsules)

That might help you to help me finding more products similiar to those :D

Again i appreciate all of you helping me. Thanks
Chapman

i've got a meeting tonight. after that i can reduce the product range by tomorrow.
can anyone give me more information about the products, the stores they are sold in and their prices?

chapman86

Hey there,
sorry it took me a little longer. :)

the products are
- omega-3 oils on linseed basis
- linseeds
- oleolux
- eldi oil (not to eat, those are body/skin care products)

i'm searching for competitors :)
oils like rapeseed, walnut oil etc.
linseeds in general for cereals or similar goods.
oleolux as an alternative for butter or magarine
eldi oils if there is something like that.
