Total oil: The origin of norsan
NORSAN’s journey into the world of omega-3 supply began with Omega-3 Total. The classic among the products was developed for the optimal regulation of the omega-3 supply. From a nutritional medicine point of view, its composition provides the optimal package: an EPA-rich, natural and purified fish oil, polyphenols from a cold-pressed, organically grown olive oil and a daily portion of vitamin D3. In the capsule product, the olive oil is substituted for rosemary extract.
On average 9 out of 10 people have an omega-3 deficiency. The NORSAN Omega-3 Total Oil offers a daily dose of 2,000 mg omega-3, which is sufficient to regulate an omega-3 deficiency.
The Omega-3 Total Oil is proven to have a positive and significant effect on the HS Omega-3 Index.
omega-3 rich fish oil
The NORSAN Total fish oil stems from wild-caught of small fish such as sardines, mackerel and anchovies. The oil has a naturally high omega-3 content, especially omega-3 EPA. The whole fish is used for the oil, so it is not a by-product.
The omega-3 fatty acid EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is an essential fatty acid that the body can produce only in very limited amounts and must therefore be obtained through diet. EPA is a key component of certain metabolic products produced by the body, such as eicosanoids.
It is important to know that inflammation in the body is a natural response to an external stimulus, such as invading bacteria. It helps the immune system do its job. Once this has been accomplished, the inflammation can subside. This requires so-called eicosanoids—specifically the anti-inflammatory ones formed from the omega-3 fatty acid EPA. A good supply of EPA is therefore important for our body.
The fish oil in Omega-3 Total derives from small, fatty fish such as anchovies, mackerel, and sardines—all of which are rich in omega-3, particularly EPA.
NORSAN fish oil is processed in an oxygen-free environment, ensuring that our oil is optimally protected against oxidation. Oxidation causes a fishy odor and has an unpleasant effect on the taste. The TOTOX value—the oil’s oxidation value or “freshness” value (the lower the value, the fresher the oil)—is in the low range of approximately 10, confirming the oil’s high freshness.
For purification, we use a modern facility in Norway that uniquely filters and purifies the oil of heavy metals, contaminants, and PCBs while simultaneously preserving the properties of the fish oil. The special refining process is based on an effective and unique triple purification during the first three process steps.
While conventional industrial processes rely solely on a two-step purification, we additionally perform a special micro-distillation that precisely filters out the remaining contaminants.
VALUABLE COMBINATION:
OLIVE OIL + FISH OIL
The special combination of an omega-3 rich fish oil and a and a polyphenol-rich olive oil has proven to be a valuable symbiosis.
In the purification process, many of the important secondary nutrients are lost, including natural antioxidant compounds. In a scientific at the University of Tromsø, Prof. Bjarne Østerrud has shown that the anti-inflammatory effect of fish oil anti-inflammatory effect of fish oil as well as the positive effect on the blood the combination with polyphenol-rich olive oil.
The researchers suspect that the polyphenols in the olive oil protect the the sensitive omega-3 in the body for oxygen molecules and free radicals. The polyphenols seem to act as a buffer and render the attackers harmless through their antioxidant effect. In this way the omega- 3 fatty acids reach their site of action undamaged and can there do their (anti-inflammatory) work.
