Norsan ARKTIS Cod Liver Oil, 120 Capsules, High in DHA and EPA

COd liver oil from the arctic ocean

The nutrient-rich cold Arctic Ocean, where the cod grows up and lives, ensures a unique and high quality. The natural Omega-3 Arctic cod oil comes from wild catch. The catch area is located directly off the Norwegian coast. The caught fish is processed within few hours that ensures a high “freshness” of the oil.

Natural cod liver oil

Norsan ARKTIS natural cod oil from North-Norway consists of a fatty acid complex of over 50 fatty acids. This natural fatty acid structure of the fish is preserved during the extraction and purification process. The consumption of the non-concentrated natural Omega-3 oil has a similar positive effect as fish consumption.

Pure and clean

In a modern facility the oil is effectively cleaned for pollutants, PCBs and heavy metals. Through the cleaning process the fatty acid structure is protected so that the finished oil stands out with a high freshness. This freshness translates into a pleasant taste and an oil that is well tolerated. The total oxidation value (totox) of the oil range between 3 and 5. The low value is a confirmation of the quality of the raw materials and the refining process. If you want to convince yourself of the freshness and good quality, smell and taste the oil. Smell and taste are good indicators of the quality of omega-3 oils – as with any other food.

SHOULD I TAKE OMEGA-3 CAPSULES OR OIL?

At NORSAN, we are convinced that nature has planned everything about the composition of nutrients and foods, and that natural and unmodified foods are therefore better assimilated by the body. That is why NORSAN fish oil is a natural oil and we do not chemically process it to concentrate it.

The choice between Omega-3 Capsules and the liquid version of fish oil is a matter of taste. 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.

We recommend that you choose according to your personal tastes and feelings. Both products are an optimal source of omega-3 fatty acids and are made from natural wild fish oil from sustainable fishing. If you are still hesitating or if you would like more information about our products, we will be happy to provide you with information and advice.
