Norwegian fish oil comes from cold-water fish caught off the coast of Norway. Producers molecularly distill the oil to strip out contaminants and concentrate the omega-3s EPA and DHA. This process keeps the oil fresh and helps avoid a fishy aftertaste.
People take it to support heart health, ease joint stiffness, and keep skin hydrated. Some take it for brain function, but the evidence is mixed. Take the oil with a meal to improve absorption and cut down on burping.
This oil can slow blood clotting. If you take blood thinners such as warfarin or aspirin, or plan surgery, check with your doctor first. Pregnant or nursing women should also seek medical advice.
