Consumption of Omega-3
Many people take NORSAN oil neat, measuring the daily dose with a spoon or measuring cup. However, the oil can also be used as a "regular" ingredient in the kitchen and added to a variety of dishes. For example, you can easily add the oil to juices, smoothies or sauces, yoghurt, cottage cheese or porridge. Even in soup or main dishes, as long as they are not too hot.
The possibilities are many and varied - get inspired by our recipes.
Capsules are also a practical alternative, especially for people who travel a lot.
Find out what you should pay attention to when taking NORSAN Omega-3 fatty acids and how to optimally integrate them into your daily life.
1 tablespoon or teaspoon of Omega-3 oil per day
The total recommended dose is 2000 mg of Omega-3 per day. This is based on scientific studies and more than 30 000 individual fatty acid analyses we have carried out. This is equivalent to approximately 1 tablespoon "Omega-3 Total" and "Omega-3 Arctic" or 1 teaspoon "Omega-3 Vegan" per day.
To be taken with or after meals
We recommend that you take Omega-3 with food. This is because the fatty acids are better absorbed when taken with food. An empty stomach makes it harder to digest fats, so there is a risk that the body will absorb only a small proportion of the valuable oils. Another important point is that oils should not be heated. Exposure to heat causes the Omega-3 fatty acids to oxidise.
Whether you take Omega-3 in the morning, at lunch or in the evening, it is important to take it with food.

NORSAN Omega-3 oils as part of the daily diet
If you are deficient in Omega-3s, it is important to replenish your body with Omega-3s so that the Omega-3 index and Omega-6/3 ratio are at a healthy level. However, if you stop taking these fatty acids again, the values will drop and you will be right back where you started. It is therefore important that we find a way to integrate NORSAN oils into our daily lives and make it part of our regular diet. Watch the video to find out why we consider our Omega-3 oils as food and how the oils can easily become part of your daily life.
