Omega 3 Fish Oil supplements from Pharma Nord contain pure and natural fish oil in capsules made from fish gelatine. Omega 3 is important to normal immune system response and can also suppress the production of inflammatory substances. Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which contributes to normal functioning of the heart*. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision** and brain function**.

Bio-Fish Oil is derived only from deep ocean fish and is carefully screened to ensure that it is free of possible pollutants. It is an economical fish oil preparation for a daily supplement.

* Min. 250 mg EPA/DHA a day
** Min. 250 mg DHA a day

Pure. Natural. Tasty! Fish oil as nature intended it.

What is Bio-Fish Oil?

Bio-Fish Oil contains omega 3 in its natural (triglyceride) form, that converts into free fatty acids in your digestive system before absorption. The unique aspect of this preparation is that the capsules are made of fish gelatine, making it 100% fish-derived. Our omega 3 fish oil supplements have a pleasant, natural lemon flavour added to each 500mg capsule. The fish used is caught in the cleaner waters of the South Pacific and Northern Atlantic.

90mg EPA per capsule
60mg DHA per capsule

The above ratios of EPA and DHA polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) represent the same levels found in nature. Bio-Fish Oil is not chemically or heat modified to claim higher levels.

What are Omega 3 fatty acids?

Omega 3 fatty acids are a group of essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are primarily found in fish, namely oily fish like herring, salmon, and mackerel.

The two most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA have several positive health benefits. For instance, a 200 mg per day intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain, eyes, and vision of infants and younger children. In adults, 250 mg of DHA each day contributes to maintaining normal brain and heart function. In addition, it supports a normal heart function. The mentioned levels correspond with 2 (200mg) and 3 (250mg) Bio-Fish Oil capsules daily.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks in all cells and ensure that cell membranes are sufficiently flexible and have the right fluid content, both of which are important for the correct functioning of cells.

What do nutrient units mean?

Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here’s what the common units for nutrients are:

Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.

Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g

Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg

International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.

Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol
