Norsan Omega 3 Total: Natural fish oil from sustainable fisheries

Behind the name Norsan is a small but very successful company from Norway that aims to make a valuable contribution to the health of our society by producing high-quality, natural omega-3 oils. In order to achieve this goal, Norsan is not content just to manufacture high-quality products, but also tries to inform and educate our society about the effects of fatty acids.

The company was called San Omega until mid-2017. The name was changed to Norsan to emphasize the connection to its home country of Norway.

Norsan - a sustainable health philosophy

Norsan follows a very special and individual philosophy with regard to health issues relating to fatty acids: fats, with the exception of trans fats, are not good or bad for us per se; on the contrary, the human organism needs high-quality fats in order to function and perform - but they must be added to the body in the right balance. Our body's genetic material is built for a balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of 1:1. Developments in the food industry over the last 50-60 years, related to the above-average use of cheap omega-6 fats, have upset this millennia-old balance, which now averages 15:1 in Western Europe. This development has gone hand in hand with:

  • a higher level of inflammation in our bodies
  • a weakened immune system
  • a slowed metabolism
  • and negative effects on our brains, hearts and eyes

To stop this development, Norsan advocates subtle and holistic fatty acid analysis. In the first step, the measurement, important data is collected on the basis of blood values. The main focus here is on the proportion of omega-3 fatty acids and the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the blood. Based on this data, an individual nutritional analysis is carried out in a second step, which provides insights into our eating habits. These need to be successfully adapted in the third step, regulation. Norsan recommends a healthy, natural and balanced diet for this: on the one hand, most of us should reduce our increased meat consumption and at the same time increase our insufficient fish consumption and, on the other hand, drastically reduce our consumption of industrially processed food. If regulation is not possible in this way, it is advisable to supplement omega-3 fatty acids with the help of food supplements. The omega-3 oils produced by Norsan are ideal for this purpose.
