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.

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.

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. As a result, we can offer the best and cleanest quality.

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.

On the one hand, the capsules are easier to carry when traveling and are more suitable for people who do not like to consume pure oil. On the other hand, liquid fish oil is more convenient to integrate into everyday life because it can simply be added to food like normal oil and it tastes so good that it can also be consumed pure without any problems. Another aspect is the price difference – the capsules are more expensive in the manufacturing process due to the extra work step required, the production of the capsules, which has an effect on the final price. Thus, the alternative product to liquid oil is more expensive than oil in its original form.

Both products are an optimal source of omega-3 fatty acids and are made from natural wild fish oil from sustainable fishing.
