Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for good health. They support your heart, your brain, your eyesight and play a role in maintaining normal triglyceride levels in the blood. Yet in practice it is difficult to get enough of them in the diet. Not everyone eats oily fish every week - and vegetarians or vegans often have even fewer natural sources to build on. Fortunately, there are high-quality supplements that offer a solution. One brand that really stands out in this is Norsan. With a clear focus on purity, effective dosing and ease of use, Norsan offers a reliable way to keep your omega 3 status up - every day. In this blog, we take you through what omega 3 does, why supplementation is often necessary and what makes Norsan such a special brand.
Why omega 3 is so important for your body
Omega 3 fatty acids are among the so-called essential fatty acids - that means your body does not make them itself, you have to get them through food or supplements. The best known omega 3 fatty acids are EPA and DHA, which play an important role in various body functions.
For example, EPA and DHA help maintain normal heart function*. DHA is also good for maintaining normal vision* and normal brain function*. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, DHA is of extra importance: it contributes to the normal development of the baby's brain and eyes*.
So with a good omega 3 intake, you support important basic functions of your body - and that makes it a valuable addition to your daily lifestyle.
*At a daily intake of 250 mg DHA.
Not everyone gets enough - and that's understandable
Although the importance of omega 3 is becoming increasingly well known, many people still don't get enough of it from their daily diet. The main source of EPA and DHA is oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines. The general recommendation is to eat oily fish at least once or twice a week, but in practice this proves difficult for many people to maintain.
Taste preferences, dietary requirements (such as vegetarian or vegan eating), concerns about sustainability or simply a busy life can mean that fish is rarely on the menu. In addition, the quality of fish is not always consistent - think origin, contamination or processing - which can affect the absorption of healthy fatty acids.
Plant sources, such as flaxseed, chia seeds or walnuts, also contain omega 3 (in the form of ALA), but this form is converted to EPA and DHA in the body only to a limited extent. Therefore, especially with low fish consumption, it is often difficult to get enough omega 3 through food alone.
Supplements as a solution: convenience, security and balance
When you fail to get enough omega 3 through food, supplements can be a valuable addition. They offer a practical and reliable way to get a stable daily amount of EPA and DHA - without depending on what's on your plate.
Omega 3 supplements come in different forms: capsules, liquid oils and plant-based alternatives. The quality of the supplement plays a big role here - think purity, the amount of active ingredients, and whether the product is properly absorbed by the body.
Precisely because there is so much choice, it is important to know what to look for. And that is exactly why more and more people are choosing a brand known for its quality, transparency and effectiveness: Norsan.
Meet Norsan: omega 3 as omega 3 is meant to be
Norsan is a Norwegian brand completely dedicated to one mission: to offer high-quality, natural omega 3 supplements that make a real difference to your health. The brand was founded on the mission to offer high-quality omega 3 products and to educate people about the importance of omega 3, with the goal of helping people supplement their omega 3 balance in a responsible and effective way.
What makes Norsan unique is the choice of high-quality fresh, unprocessed oils from sustainable fishing or - in the case of the plant-based variants - from farmed microalgae. The products are produced with respect for the environment as well as an eye for purity, so you know exactly what you are ingesting.
Norsan uses no unnecessary additives - no synthetic flavors or fragrances, no fillers. What you do get? A powerful dose of omega 3 that matches what your body really needs. With both liquid oils and capsules, Norsan offers a suitable form of supplementation for everyone, whether you eat fish or prefer to go vegan.
Norsan's strength: quality, dosage and purity
What sets Norsan apart is its commitment to natural, unconcentrated fatty acids that retain their bioactive structure, as naturally occurring in food. The products are free of concentrates and meet the strictest quality standards, including certifications from IFOS, GOED and Friend of the Sea. With a daily dosage of 1,500 to 2,000 mg of omega 3 per day, they perfectly match the scientifically recommended intake for a healthy heart, clear mind and sharp vision. In addition, the products are purified of heavy metals, PCBs and other contaminants, ensuring safe and effective supplementation.
Who is Norsan suitable for?
Norsan is for anyone who wants to support their omega 3 intake in an easy and responsible way. Whether you eat little fish, follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, are pregnant, or just want to make sure you get enough EPA and DHA daily - Norsan offers a suitable solution.
Thanks to its wide range, there are products for adults, children (lower dosage) and people with specific dietary requirements.
How do you use Norsan in your daily routine?
Norsan makes it easy to make omega 3 a regular part of your day. The liquid version is best taken during or immediately after a meal - for example, a tablespoon with breakfast or lunch. Thanks to the neutral or fresh taste (for example, with lemon), they are good to combine with yogurt, smoothies or just pure from the spoon.
The capsules are convenient for traveling or those who prefer not to use oil. Preferably take them with a high-fat meal so that the fatty acids are optimally absorbed. For children, there is a specially developed variant with a pleasant taste and a responsible dosage.
Whatever form you choose, with Norsan you effortlessly add a powerful dose of omega 3 to your daily routine - without complicated schedules or hassle.
