2,000 mg omega-3 in a tablespoon
Naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Easy to use every day
No. 1 omega-3 brand
2,000 mg omega-3 in a tablespoon
Omega-3 Total (200 ml) is a unique combination of a high-EPA natural fish oil and an extra virgin olive oil from organic farming (antioxidant). A daily dose (8 ml, about 1 tablespoon) provides 2,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
The recommended dose of 2 g omega-3 is effective for maintaining a healthy omega-3 index.*
Naturally Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
The fish oil stems from wild and sustainable fishing. The fish oil is not derived as a by-product, but directly from the entire fish. Small fish such as sardines, mackerel and anchovies are caught in the wild. Fishing is carried out according to strict guidelines for sustainable fishery and is certified by the famous “Friends of the Sea” label. The fish oil is cleaned of pollutants and PCBs and controlled according to strict Norwegian regulations.
Entirely natural and no use of concentrates
Natural fish oil consists of a complex of more than 50 fatty acids. During the extraction and purification of the fish oil, the natural structure of the fatty acids is preserved. This is important since only consuming such a natural fatty acid structure could be equevalent to eating fish. NORSAN explicitily does use any concentrates, where the natural fish oil complex is chemically destroyed and thereafter reconstructed with an artificially high omega-3 concentration.
Unique 3-step cleaning with micro destillation
An effective cleaning should ensure that the fish oil is free of pollutants. Typically this is achieved in a two step cleaning process. For the fish oil in our NORSAN Omega-3 Total, we use a modern and unique 3-step method, which also includes the costly process of micro-destillation. This ensures you receive a product defined by its superior purity and freshness.
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.
The health effect of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA*
Leading global health organizations, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), recognize that the marine omega-3s EPA and DHA are crucial for supporting health and wellness:*
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
Leading global health organizations, the beneficial effects are felt with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
Eye and vision
It's a fascinating scientific fact that the cells of the human eye, particularly in the retina, contain a very high concentration of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. This is why a robust body of evidence has established that DHA plays a vital role in helping to maintain normal vision throughout life.*
Brain and cognitive function
The human brain is composed largely of fatty acids, with DHA being a primary structural component. As a vital nutrient, DHA helps maintain normal brain function throughout life. *
Pregnancy
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, a mother's consumption of the omega-3 DHA is particularly important, as it contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the fetus and breastfed infants.*
Infants
The omega-3 fatty acid DHA plays a key role in an infant's first year of life. Scientific evidence confirms that an infant's consumption of DHA contributes to the normal development of their vision through the first 12 months of age.*
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.
Organic olive oil as an antioxidant*
The olives are supplied by Rafael, our olive grower, who works according to ecological guidelines. We regularly do on-site visits, not only because it is a beautiful place, but to ensure close relationship and best quality.
Omega-3s are particularly “sensitive” and can be easily destroyed. They must therefore be “protected” not only before consumption but also in the body once consumed. This is why our Omega-3 Total oil contains 25% of an organic extra virgin olive oil that acts as a natural and powerful antioxidant. Our olive oil has been specially selected for its powerful antioxidant components.
We use an organic extra virgin olive oil with a high content of polyphenols, known for their antioxidant properties. It is the polyphenol content of the olive oil that protects the omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation. A unique characteristic of an olive oil rich in polyphenols is that it causes a slight tingling sensation in the throat when you swallow it.
Easy to use every day
It is our unique and careful treatment process that guarantees the exceptional quality and freshness of our fish oil. The freshness of the oil is essential to guarantee a pleasant taste and smell. A few drops of natural lemon oil add an extra touch to the pleasant taste.
Integrating NORSAN Omega-3 Total Oil into your day is effortless. Its pleasant taste is a direct result of its superior freshness and low oxidation levels, ensuring there's no unpleasant aftertaste or fishy burps. Just one tablespoon can easily be incorporated into your morning meal.
Advice for use: Instead of taking the oil on its own, mix it into a smoothie or add it as a topping to your salad and other cold dishes.

Taste
The quality of the raw materials and the unique refinement of the fish oil give NORSAN Omega-3 Total its pleasant taste. A few drops of natural lemon oil add an extra lemon touch (product also available withouth lemon oil). The oil is particularly “fresh” which is reflected in the good taste. The “freshness” is among others measured in a low value of total oxidation (TOTOX) of the oil. The high quality of the raw materials and the unique 3-steps processing and purification process, includes also micro-destillation, guarantees the exceptional quality of NORSAN fish oil.
You can take this oil without worrying about digestive discomfort or a fishy aftertaste.
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 difficult to achieve, but consuming excessively high amounts is not recommended. Potential side effects are related to omega-3's blood-thinning effect and can include increased bruising or bleeding.
Please consult your doctor before use if you are taking blood-thinning medications or have a bleeding disorder.
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?
For both correcting an imbalance and supporting daily health, an intake of over 2,000 mg of omega-3s per day is effective. This is conveniently equivalent to one tablespoon of Omega-3 Total.
This dosage isn't just a guideline; it's a scientifically-backed recommendation derived from the results of more than 3,000 individual fatty acid analyses. For best results, we recommend a consistent, daily intake as part of your wellness routine.
Is the product gluten-free?
Yes, all our products are gluten-free.
