(via TheNewswire)

Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / June 1, 2017 - BlueOcean NutraSciences Inc. (TSXV:BOC) ("BlueOcean" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its first order from a distributor in the European Union for its consumer shrimp oil products, Pure Polar(R) Omega-3 Shrimp Oil, Sport AXTM and Joint AXTM.

The order is a result of efforts to identify and meet with credible distributors in Germany and EU in early 2017. This purchase order marks the beginning distribution for the Company's first in the world shrimp oil based consumer supplements, in markets beyond North America. The European omega-3 market represents over 20% of global omega-3 sales, with the European supplements category valued at $1Bn. The Company continues its efforts to expand distribution in North America, Europe and Asia.

BlueOcean CEO, Dr. Marvin Heuer commented, "The European market is very aware of the benefits of products like omega-3s and krill oils, and by introducing our unique shrimp oil products, we hope to capitalize on our strong product features and a knowledgeable European consumer base. We also continue our efforts to identify distributors in Asia, which has a rapidly growing supplement industry. Last week we closed our Canadian distributor, and continue to work towards closing more retail distribution in the US."
