NORSAN Cod Oil
Norwegian Tran of the North Atlantic Ocean
From the coast of Norway
NORSAN Cod Oil is obtained from wild-caught fish from the coast of Norway north of the Arctic Circle. Cod fishing has a long tradition in this region with the largest cod stock in the world. These stocks are subject to particularly strict and sustainable regulations under Norwegian law. In recent years, Norway has managed to reach clear and positive agreements with its neighbors (especially Iceland and Russia), introducing control instruments that have virtually eliminated previously common unauthorized fishing. As a result, there are record amounts of cod in the North Sea. Yes, since World War II the Norwegian Fisheries Authority has not measured a larger quantity than in recent years.
The "white gold" from Norway
Cod, the "white gold" from Norway, contains a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids, especially omega-3 DHA. NORSAN Cod Oil is the final product after a gentle extraction, filtration and purification process. From the fishing, which takes place right off the coast, it takes only a few hours to process the fish. New equipment with a strictly oxygen-free environment results in a high-quality oil. The TOTOX value - oxidation value, which also functions as a "freshness value" (extra low - extra fresh) - is in the low 3-5 range, promising high oil freshness.
Natural cod oil from wild catch
A natural fish oil such as NORSAN Cod Oil contains a broad spectrum of as many as 50 different fatty acids. In a concentrated fish oil product, this natural composition is destroyed. Instead, you get concentrated oil, which has the benefit of a higher percentage of omega-3. However, this is a chemical, man-made product not found in fish oil. Little is still known about how the (processed) concentrated oil evolves in the body after consumption, especially with regard to the possible negative oxidation risk. To achieve the same good effects as consuming oily fish, natural, non-concentrated products are recommended.
"Let your diet be as natural as possible" is a guiding principle at NORSAN. The body needs sufficient intake of certain nutrients, but this must be done in the most natural way possible. Nature usually provides the best solutions. The effectively purified, yet natural cod liver oil offers a valuable option in this regard. NORSAN Omega-3 Arktis is a natural cod liver oil with a naturally high omega-3 content.
Sustainability
Sustainability is important and naturally deeply rooted in our philosophy and way of working. We greatly appreciate being able to harvest high-quality raw materials from the sea. But this also comes with the responsibility to treat the marine environment as harmoniously as possible. Sustainability and conservation of fish stocks is a top priority for us in the selection of our crude oils. Our work is bound by strict ethical and formal rules.
NORSAN Cod Oil has received the "Friend of the Sea" certificate.
- Our products come from fish stocks that are not overfished.
- Prevention of fishing practices that catch endangered species as bycatch.
- Reduction of fishing practices that negatively impact the ecosystem.
- Fishing and oil extraction is energy efficient.
- Practices include high standards of social responsibility.
