250 mg of omega-3 per gel
Our fruity, delicious chewable gels with strawberry-lemon flavour are easy to portion and taste good to almost every child.
They are free from artificial additives and sugar. A healthy omega-3 rich “sweet”. The essential omega-3 fatty acids, just in a different way.
JUST CHEW IT!
It is not always easy to get children to eat fish or take fish oil. The tasty omega-3 chewable gels is an excellent alternative for children.
Protects the healthy mental and physical development
The marine fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are important for the healthy mental and physical development of our children. Embryos, newborns and young children need omega-3 fatty acids, especially for brain and eye development. In addition, hyperactivity and concentration disorders can be compensated for by the administration of omega-3 fatty acids.
Family package
For travel or just to have sufficient gels for a longer period: Omega-3 FISK Jelly family size with 120 chewable gels is a good option.
When testing the gels, we find that the children loved them. The children found the chewy gummy gels delicious and asked for more. We can only be satisfied with this positive response because we feel it is important for children to have a sufficient intake of omega-3 marine fatty acids.
We confirm our commitment to protect the environment
NORSAN's fish oil and cod liver oil are FOS-certified and come from fish sourced from waters recognized as sustainable by FOS.
Positive effects of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms favourable health benefits from the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA:
Heart function
The heart is the central organ of the human body. Blood flow and cell metabolism are key factors in heart health. An adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to positively influence these factors. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function. According to EFSA, the beneficial effects are felt with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
Eye and vision
The cells of the human eye contain a particularly high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids. Numerous studies have shown that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids has a positive effect on vision. DHA helps maintain normal vision. According to EFSA, the beneficial effects are felt with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of DHA.
Brain and cognitive function
The brain is composed largely of unsaturated fatty acids. Recent studies show a positive correlation between the intake of omega-3 fatty acids and improved brain function. DHA helps maintain normal brain function. According to EFSA, the beneficial effects are felt with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of DHA.
Pregnancy
Maternal consumption of DHA contributes to the normal eye and brain development of the fetus and breastfed infant. According to EFSA, the beneficial effects are felt with at least 200 mg in addition to the recommended daily dose for an adult (i.e. at least 250 mg of DHA and EPA).
Infants
Infant consumption of DHA in follow-on formulas contributes to normal vision development up to 12 months of age. According to EFSA, the effect is beneficial as early as 100 mg of DHA daily intake.
Why linseed oil alone is not enough
EPA and DHA are found in marine sources like fish, algae, and krill. Most omega-3 vegetable oils, such as linseed oil and chia oils, only contain the vegetable omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and not EPA and DHA.
Among vegetable oils, linseed oil, for example, contains particularly high levels of ALA. Nuts and chia seeds also contain ALA. It is important to know that ALA can only be converted to the important marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA to a limited extent. The conversion factor is only 0.5-10% and is highly dependent on weight, metabolism and other factors. Scientific studies are broadly aligned in the conclusion that intake of ALA alone cannot regulate an deficit in EPA and DHA.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Are there heavy metals in Omega-3 Total fish oil?
As the oceans become increasingly polluted, this also affects the fish in the world’s oceans. The further down the food chain the fish are, the higher the levels of PCBs and heavy metals. For example, sardines have lower levels than cod.
The NORSAN fish oil, which we use for our Omega-3 Total, is carefully purified from PCBs and heavy metals in Norway. Thus, the oil also shows best values in this respect: Less than one fifth of the EU maximum limit and comparatively only 2% of the amounts contained in a serving (100g) of cod. If one tablespoon of total omega-3 oil is consumed daily, this represents only about 10% of the average daily intake of PCBs from other foods.
Can you overdose the oil and if so, what happens then?
An overdose is possible, but very difficult to realize. Theoretically, this would require taking about more than a third of the bottle a day. The consequences of an overdose would be:
Occurrence of bruises and dilution of the blood.
From which fish is the Omega-3 Total fish oil obtained?
Decisive for the quality of the fish oil is the right selection of the raw material – i.e. the fish. Mainly small deep-sea fish from wild catches such as sardines, mackerel and anchovies are caught and immediately processed and cooled on board. The fish come exclusively from the Atlantic. The NORSAN fish oil is not extracted as a by-product from the fish liver, but directly from the fish flesh. Often there are only 4 hours between the catch and the transfer to the production.
How high must the therapeutic dosage be to achieve a positive effect?
The therapeutic dosage is over 2,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day. This corresponds to one tablespoon of Omega-3 Total Oil. This dosage recommendation is based on the empirical values of over 3,000 fatty acid analyses and is therefore considered to be empirically tested.
Therefore, for the preventive care of your body, a permanent intake of also one tablespoon of Omega-3 Total per day applies.
