NORSAN Omega-3 TOTAL — Lemon Flavor (200ml)

Before deciding which omega-3 brand we would bring into our store, we evaluated several options on the market. Most shared the same problem: capsules sitting on a shelf for months on end, oil already partially oxidized, and marketing that promises much while delivering little.

We chose NORSAN because it was one of the few brands to meet the three criteria we consider non-negotiable: transparency (independent laboratory testing, IFOS, batch by batch), quality of raw materials (natural oil, without dilutions or shortcuts), and sustainability (certified Friend of the Sea fishing).

Within the NORSAN range, TOTAL was our first choice because it represents a rare balance: natural fish oil (80%) combined with extra virgin olive oil (19%), bottled in dark glass to prevent oxidation, with a mild touch of lemon that avoids that "fishy burp" aftertaste typical of the category.

It is a liquid oil, which means faster absorption than a capsule (which must first dissolve in the stomach). One tablespoon (8ml) per day, taken with a meal, delivers 2,000mg of omega-3, of which 1,120mg is EPA and 536mg is DHA (the rest being DPA)—a robust dose.

Composition: natural fish oil (80%), olive oil (19%), lemon oil, mixed tocopherols and d-α-tocopherols, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).

Nutritional values per daily dose (8ml): 2,000mg of omega-3 fatty acids (1,120mg EPA, 128mg DPA, 536mg DHA) · 800 IU (20µg) of vitamin D3 · 3.2mg of vitamin E.

Why we included TOTAL in our selection

• Dual source: fish oil + olive oil with a more balanced lipid profile
• Subtle lemon flavor, no "fishy burps"
• Faster absorption than capsules (liquid format)
• 2,000mg of omega-3 per daily dose, of which 1,120mg EPA + 536mg DHA
• Anti-oxidation dark amber glass + batch-tested (IFOS)
• Certified sustainable fishing (Friend of the Sea)

🧭 TOTAL or ARKTIS? Which one is for you?

We brought in two NORSAN products to cover different needs. TOTAL is the balanced daily choice—it combines fish oil with olive oil, has a milder flavor, and is ideal for those looking for broad-spectrum omega-3 without compromising on taste. If you are looking for an option 100% based on cod liver oil, with naturally higher levels of vitamins A and D, check out NORSAN Omega-3 ARKTIS, the other product we have selected.
