Key Benefits

A good source of omega-3 fatty acid (EFAs) necessary for optimum health, maintaining cell structure, and producing energy

Rich in omega-3, the EFA in which most Americans (about 80%) are deficient

Marine sources of omega-3 such as Norwegian Fish Oil convert to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) long chain fatty acids: beneficial for immune and brain functions, learning disabilities and healthy blood chemistry

Norwegian Fish Oil contains a healthy ratio of 18% EPA and 12% DHA, about the same ratio as human brain tissue From pristine arctic waters, Norwegian Fish Oil derives its omega-3 from salmon, menhaden, cod and mackerel Processed using state-of-the-art refrigeration and preservation methods, rapidly removing the valuable lipids and achieving a standard uniformity and nutritional density Convenient gelatin softgels with light protective coating?needs no refrigeration or preparation Protectively packaged in 100% inert black plastic and hermetically sealed with an inner and outer closure

Available in 60 count and 100 count, 1,000mg softgels

Why Norwegian Fish Oil?

There are about 50 essential elements our bodies require for everyday health and longevity. They are considered ?essential? because our bodies cannot manufacture them; we must acquire them from the diet. Most of these essential elements are vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, but two are the essential fatty acids known as omega-3 and omega-6.

Because the brain is made up of approximately 50% fat (about 33% from cholesterol and about 15% from EFAs), omega-3 rich fish, like salmon has long been considered ?brain food.? Furthermore, marine omega-3 is the precursor, or ?parent? of two other very powerful brain fat compounds called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Independent medical research indicates that fish oils, rich in EPA and DHA, have beneficial effects on immune function, learning disabilities and healthy blood chemistry. Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Fish Oil contains a healthy ratio of 18% EPA and 12% DHA. This is about the same ratio as our brain tissue. The presence of these potent nutritional brain and organ compounds makes this product the ultimate ?thinker's oil.?

Fish oil influences numerous metabolic functions including reducing inflammation and improving hormonal production, alleviating our response to daily stress. The omega-3 in fish oil plays an important role in the maintenance of blood hormones called prostaglandins. The high densities of prostaglandin series 3 (PG3s) produced by marine-based omega-3 keep blood flowing smoothly and maintain our immune system at optimum levels. Supplementation

For minimum nutritional benefit, two softgels per day is suggested. Higher levels, such as taking two softgels three times a day with meals, may be needed depending on your unique therapeutic needs. A competent health care practitioner can recommend the best therapeutic levels for you based on lifestyle and general health.

Product Source

Norwegian Fish Oil is derived from four varieties of arctic and northern deep water fish; salmon, menhaden, cod, and mackerel. This region is known for its pristine waters. As with all of Spectrum Essentials products, we ensure the highest possible purity and quality standards.

Norwegian Fish Oil Processing

Marine oils are processed using state-of-the-art refrigeration and preservation methods. The fresh fish is rapidly processed to mechanically remove the lipid (or marine fat). The oils are filtered to a standard uniformity and nutritional density. Spectrum Norwegian Fish Oil is not hydrogenated and no hexane or chemical adjuncts are utilized.
