Omega 3

Why is omega-3 so important?

Linseed oil, walnuts, chia seeds & co. are good sources of omega-3.

However, they only contain the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid ALA, of which only 0.5 – 10 % can be converted into the important marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. To get enough omega-3 you would have to drink 60-80 ml of linseed oil a day, or eat 250 g of salmon or 50 fish fingers. Because of the pollution of the oceans, the latter is not really advisable, which makes high-dose omega-3 products a good alternative.

EPA and DHA are vital for our brain function, our eyesight and our heart. Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) is also essential during pregnancy for the well-being of the mother and the development of the baby. Why we prefer liquid omega-3 oils is explained in the next video.

Why do we prefer liquid omega-3 oils?

We at NORSAN see omega-3 as a good food. After all, you wouldn’t hide a banana or a high-quality olive oil in capsules, so why omega-3 oils? They are easy to integrate into everyday life – stirred into a smoothie, muesli or salad dressing. Liquid omega-3 oils are also better absorbed by the body.

Liquid omega-3 oil also has a tradition of more than 200 years in our home country, Norway, where a good omega-3 oil can be found in almost every fridge.

For travelling and on the go, however, capsules are practical. You can find out which dosage is right in the following video.

The right dosage is what counts

It is often claimed that omega-3 fatty acids have no effect. We agree – but only if the dosage is too low. After all, one push-up a day won’t turn you into a bodybuilder either.

For omega-3 fatty acids to have their positive effects, dosage, regularity and balance are important. For many of us this balance is off, because with today’s diet we usually take in more omega-6 than omega-3. Just one spoonful of NORSAN omega-3 oil (2,000 mg omega-3) a day can restore this balance, which is why all NORSAN products are high-dose. Your individual omega-3 requirement can be determined with a fatty acid analysis.

Why choose NORSAN?

Our biggest goal is for the omega-3 index, i.e. the omega-3 supply, in Germany to rise and be balanced. That is why, as a Norwegian company, we have specialised exclusively in very high-quality, high-dose omega-3 products for many years.

We are delighted that so many doctors, therapists and nutritionists recommend NORSAN. Professional athletes also place great trust in us. What’s more, NORSAN is the no. 1 omega-3 brand in German pharmacies and 9 out of 10 customers would recommend us – thank you very much!

And because omega-3 is so important for young and old, we have the right product for everyone: classic from fish, plant-based from algae, and for kids.
