2,000 mg omega-3 in a teespoon
Omega-3 Vegan (100 ml) is a unique combination of high-dose vegetable algae oil and extra virgin olive oil from controlled organic farming (antioxidant). A daily dose (5 ml / 1 teaspoon) provides 2,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids.
The algae oil is very rich in DHA and also contains EPA. It is therefore an optimal source of omega-3 for all those who want to exclude all animal products from their diet.
Natural Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Microalgae, with its unique photosynthesis, is the basis of our existence. It has vital nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which comes indirectly through fish and seafood in our diet. Algae or seaweed oil is such a good alternative to fish consumption. It allows us to go directly to the source.
Entirely natural and no use of concentrates
NORSAN Omega-3 Vegan is a 100% vegetable algea oil. The oil is extracted from the marine micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. It is a microscopic algae that feeds solely on organic and vegetable substances, such as dead leaves. The micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. is particularly rich in the marine omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Thus, it is perfectly suited for the production of a vegan omega-3 oil. Due to its high omega-3 content, our vegetable algea oil by nature contains a high dose of omega-3. No further chemical treatment is therefore necessary to obtain a higher concentration.
We do not interfere with the natural ecosystem of the sea
The manufacturing process is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The marine micro-algae we use to produce Omega-3 Vegan do not come from the sea. They are grown in large ponds containing artificial seawater. This saves resources and preserves the food base of the fish. In this way, we do not interfere with the natural ecosystem of the sea, and fish and krill stocks are spared.
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.
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.
The NORSAN Vegan Omega-3 Oil has a pleasant taste and one teespoon together with the breakfast can easily be integrated in the daily routine. The intake does not lead to unpleasant reflux and spillage. Fresh (with low oxidation levels) seaweed oil smells good and has a pleasant taste. Omega-3 Vegan is particularly fresh, so it is easy to eat and digest.
Advice for use: Instead of taking the oil “pure”, mix it in a smoothie or add it as topping on your salat or other cold food.

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.
Is the product gluten-free?
Yes, all our products are gluten-free.
