NUTRICAN
| About us | BGI AMP INC. focuses on the full utilization and development of high quality products, from the renewable Harp seal resource abundant in the waters off the coast of Newfoundland. AMP products include Omega-3 rich Harp seal oil supplied in bulk oil or capsule form, tanned and dyed sealskins, and processed seal meat. The oil is extracted from the blubber of the animal and marketed internationally. The health benefits of Omega-3 have been well documented by various scientific journals and initial research conducted by Memorial University in Newfoundland shows seal oil might provide superior benefits over existing Omega-3 sources. Future aspirations include the development of nutraceuticals from fishery by-products, such as chitin and glucosamine. The refinery at Catalina is federally registered and fully certified for the production of premium food-grade oils. The product and facilities are regularly inspected and approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The process is HACCP-based to ensure quality controls are integrated at every step. Our oil is an all-natural product in that it is refined rather than manufactured, and the process is mechanical rather than biochemical. Our premium food grade oil is available in encapsulated and bottled form. In the future, BGI AMP. aspires to leverage its successes in producing and marketing seal oil capsules to develop other nutraceutical applications from fishery by-products. Through its location in Newfoundland, BGI AMP has ready access to an abundance of raw materials such as the shells of crustacean, and AMP is currently investigating the potential of producing chitin and chitosan for pharmaceutical/nutraceutical manufacturers. CURRENT ACTIVITIES AMP is currently exporting seal oil to Asia, mainly to Europe, and is also enjoying substantial sales domestically. Current marketing efforts are focused on new market development for the encapsulated oil. In addition, we are investigating the potential of the chitin and chitosan market, and the viability of establishing the production facilities for this. AMP is open to other ideas for expanding its nutraceutical product base through processing of other locally available marine by-products. DESIRED INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS AMP would like to meet companies who are seeking a supply of processed marine by-products, such as chitin and chitosan. We would like to work with such a company in expanding our processing facilities, to ensure that our investments are market-driven and the customer is pleased with our products. The company also welcomes proposals for private labelling agreements involving seal oil capsules. AMP is continually seeking research collaborations, particularly with companies interested in essential fatty acid nutrition and other marine by-product research. |
