Today, there is a comprehensive line up of supplements that support a healthy lifestyle under the Seven Seas umbrella of products, across the globe.

The saga of Seven Seas commenced in 1935 with the discovery of the importance of Omega 3 as an essential building block for good health. 

“In 1935, Pure Cod Liver Oil Liquid was launched under the brand name Seven Seas, followed by the first ever easy-to-consume Seven Seas Pure Cod Liver Capsules,” says Hemas Pharmaceuticals Country Manager for Seven Seas Elroy Fernando. “Cod Liver Oil was fast gaining status as a unique and an essential nutritional supplement for the entire family.” 

The benefits of Omega 3 found in Cod Liver Oil have been reiterated by research conducted at multiple levels. Omega 3 is associated with heart health, enhanced brain development and eye health, while providing multiple health benefits for the entire family.

Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil commenced exports from England to the Commonwealth in 1948 – by the ’60s, the refining process was being fine-tuned to retain the highest quality possible. During the ’80s, Seven Seas had expanded into other areas such as vitamins and minerals. 

In 1998, Seven Seas launched Ocean Gold, a patented award winning purification process that set a global standard for the purification of Omega 3 naturally occurring in Cod Liver Oil – a unique and an innovative process which ensures that all the nutritional aspects of the natural cod liver oil is retained. 

Today, Seven Seas products are available in over 100 countries around the world while Seven Seas remains the leading brand of vitamins in the UK, Fernando adds. 

Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil has been distributed and marketed in Sri Lanka by Hemas Pharmaceuticals for over 72 years. Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil is recognised as a household staple among generations in Sri Lanka – many have grown up using the product.

“For over 70 years, Seven Seas has been providing the benefits of Omega 3 and naturally occurring Vitamins A & D to consumers in Sri Lanka and the world – today, it is widely known and trusted as a health supplement for the entire family,” he adds.

“Seven Seas is proud of its heritage and unique positioning among consumers in Sri Lanka and the world. As people become more and more aware of the need for a healthy lifestyle, Seven Seas believes that it will continue to compliment such a lifestyle as the world’s most trusted and best known healthcare supplement,” he says in conclusion.
