Nordic Naturals is a top tier company with the purest omega 3 oils on the market. Third parties have tested their product numerous times and have revealed that Nordic Naturals products have higher purity levels than other Omega 3 oil supplements. Nordic Naturals CEO Joar Opheim grew up in Artic Norway and later moved to California. When he could not find good quality omega 3 supplements in California like he had back home, he decided to launch a company. He found the quality of the fish oils in the USA to be poor so he decided to make the highest quality ones back home in Norway. Today, his omega 3 is #1 in the USA and a global leader in omega 3. His goal is to have generations of healthy, happy people from all over the world.
Wild-caught fish such as sardines and anchovies are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, promote optimal cholesterol levels, and enhance mental health by reinforcing natural antioxidant activity that targets cell damage from free radicals [1, 2]. Fish oil is also an excellent source of vitamin D, which supports optimal mental performance, enhances immune system function, strengthens muscles and bones, targets UV rays that are linked to skin cell damage, and supports healthy cell growth [3-8]. Furthermore, fish oil promotes healthy blood sugar levels and healthier inflammatory responses [8, 9]. It also contains vitamin A that heightens natural cell rejuvenation [8-10].
Overall health [1-10]; Enhanced heart, brain, bone, muscle, skin, immune system health [1-8]
Wild-caught fish such as sardines and anchovies contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy triglycerides that help target unhealthy triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels [1]. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil also contain cannabinoids that reinforce healthy levels of inflammation [10]. The vitamin A and D in fish oil appears to influence immune as well as circulatory pathways that provide cells with essential nutrients for consistent rejuvenation [8-10]. Furthermore, fish oil contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which target different types of invader-induced brain cell damage, including tissue damage that can lead to age-related healthy issues, due to their antioxidant and circulation-boosting properties [2]. EPA and DHA also support healthier inflammatory responses [2, 3].
