Nordic Naturals Fish Oil Benefits

Fish oils can be a beneficial addition to any diet, because of their high concentration of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining overall health and wellness, yet cannot be produced in sufficient quantities by the human body. Nordic Naturals, an award-winning fish oil manufacturer, is a research-driven company that is committed to developing great-tasting, fresh, fish oils.

  1. Benefits

    • Consuming essential fatty acids (EFAs) daily can contribute to increased energy, improved neurological function such as memory and concentration, a strengthened immune system, improved circulation and improved skin condition. Omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to be essential for cardiovascular and reproductive health. In some studies, EFAs reduced malignant tumor growth and increased survival rates among cancer patients. Because cold-water fish are some of the best sources of EFAs, Nordic Naturals harvests its raw materials from the Arctic Ocean and Norwegian Sea, some of the purest bodies of water in the world.

    About Nordic Naturals

    • Nordic Naturals was founded by Norwegian-born Joar Opheim, who emigrated to the United States and noticed a lack of fish oils in the typical American diet. In Norway, where locally harvested fish is an important part of the national cuisine, many people recognize the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in maintaining overall health. Opheim developed Nordic Naturals with a mission of making high-quality, pure, fish oils available to the global market. All Nordic Naturals Fish Oil is manufactured in Norway, using a distillation process that removes mercury, lead and other potentially harmful heavy metals.

    Award Winners

    • In tests conducted by the Norwegian magazine "Mat og Helse" ("Food & Health"), Nordic Naturals was named No. 1 in concentration, freshness and purity, in accordance with Norwegian Medicinal Standards. Two of the company's pediatric products were given the Most Valuable Products Award by Therapy Times.

    Taste

    • Since unpleasant taste can be a deterrent to using fish oils, Nordic Naturals uses a process designed to reduce the likelihood of repeat (burping). Nordic Natural Fish Oil supplements are available in liquids and capsules, both of which contain natural fruit essences for a light, fruity taste.

    Environmentally Friendly

    • Nordic Naturals is committed to providing fresh products while operating in an environmentally friendly manner. Working with small boats and independent fisherman, the company reduces its ecological impact by using vessels that consume fewer resources and spend less time at sea. The company uses nitrogen at every stage of the manufacturing process to prevent oxidation and decomposition of its fish oils. Nordic Naturals operates a manufacturing facility located directly next to the harbor, so transportation times are minimal, further ensuring the freshness of its products.
