About US
DETTE ER OSS – THIS IS US
NORSAN’s journey began in 2006 in Norway. When our founder and CEO, Joakim Graff, decided to move from Norway to Germany for love in 2012, Germany quickly became our most significant market.
In his luggage, he brought a high-quality, natural fish oil—our Omega-3 Total—along with a clear mission and vision. Our mission has remained unchanged ever since: to educate people on the importance and effects of Omega-3, and to improve Omega-3 levels by offering premium products. Our vision and goal, then as now, is to have an Omega-3 oil in every kitchen.
We were, and still are, convinced that high-quality food should be kept as natural as possible and consumed in its original state. True to our product philosophy, a good oil does not need to be “hidden” inside a capsule; it simply belongs in the kitchen and in our daily lives.
This remains our focus today, and our customers have validated this approach: NORSAN has become the most popular Omega-3 brand in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with over 150,000 users. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the trust you have placed in us and continue to work tirelessly to provide you with the very best Omega-3 oils.
Are NORSAN Omega-3 Oils Supplements?
Shortly before 8:00 AM on a Monday morning, the phone rings: “Mr. Graff, you aren’t selling dietary supplements at all; you are selling food. ‘Mittel zum Leben’—means to live.”
Those were the words of a renowned medical professor back in 2014. He called me back enthusiastically after having been introduced to NORSAN oils for the first time in the preceding weeks. “Yes, Professor, you are 100% right. That is exactly it,” I was able to reply, feeling even more excited and happy myself. It brings great joy when others see our products exactly the way we do. Our oils are food, even if the official designation is “dietary supplement.”
When we are asked what makes our oils so special—what our secret is—our answer is: Actually, there is no secret. For us, it is a matter of course that we strive to offer the highest quality fish oil and, for several years now, algae oil as well. We aim to achieve this as simply as possible, using as few ingredients as necessary. That is all.
As a specialized Omega-3 company, we see it as our mission to always provide the best Omega-3 oils. Always natural. Always high-dosage—ideally 2,000 mg of Omega-3 per day. Like any other good food, a high-quality Omega-3 oil belongs in every kitchen. What is already a way of life in Norway should soon find its place everywhere else.
Takk for tilliten thank you for your trust.
Yours, Joakim Graff

“I joined NORSAN in 2019 to establish our French branch. It has been incredibly exciting to develop a new project from a blank slate while benefiting from the support and trust of such a great team! The NORSAN products are simply amazing and of the highest quality. I hope to contribute to NORSAN’s development for many more years to come!” Géraldine Payne
Our Team in Italy
“Four years ago—back when I was still working for the former NORSAN distributor—it was clear to me from the very start that I was holding something special in my hands. For every critical question regarding the NORSAN products or the brand, there was a plausible explanation; everything simply made sense. It quickly became clear to me: Why shouldn’t every Italian have a bottle of fish oil standing next to their olive oil? Just like the Norwegians do.
I have been with NORSAN Italia for a year now, and I’ve learned that this positive feeling toward the brand and the oils can only stem from the great mentality and fantastic work philosophy within the company. That is why I am all the more excited to help raise the average Omega-3 Index of Italians to a higher level.” Dietmar Burger
Responsibility for Oceans and Waters
As a provider of marine Omega-3 fatty acids, we are deeply aware of our shared responsibility to protect this resource. While we are grateful to offer such valuable fish oil, we recognize the necessity of managing oceans and fish stocks sustainably. They do not belong to us alone; they belong equally to future generations.
Sustainable fishing is crucial for the preservation of fish stocks. Our fish oil products are Friend of the Sea (FOS) certified. Among other things, this means that we only use species that are not overfished, our fishing methods do not harm the seabed, and the bycatch rate is kept below 8% of the total catch.
As a leading provider of Omega-3 oils, we view global fish stocks as a resource that must be protected for the long term. Only if the marine habitat remains intact can it serve as a source of nutrition for generations to come. Therefore, we see it as our natural duty to take responsibility and contribute to the protection of our oceans and waters.
For every NORSAN product sold, 5 cents are donated to non-profit organizations actively committed to protecting and preserving biodiversity in our seas and waters.
