The man behind Arctic Blue

When I quit my job as a fish oil expert 8 years ago and started Arctic Blue,
I did so because I knew that many Omega-3 fish oil users have questions or
experience ambiguities.

With the knowledge that I could solve them.

The main points I want to discuss here.
1. The brands of Omega-3 supplements I am familiar with cause me to burp up fish smell. This makes regular intake not easy. Is this normal?
2. Which product should I choose?
3. What about the durability of Omega-3 supplements?

Many people are aware of the importance of oily fish and therefore take an Omega-3 supplement. They take, for granted, the common aftertaste or fish smell that occurs after ingestion.

What they don't know, however, is that this is not normal. The delicate unsaturated Omega-3 fats have become damaged and this causes them to oxidize resulting in the taste abnormality.

Also, these Omega-3 fats are also less effective.

So it is a quality problem.

You can easily avoid this by choosing a good quality fish oil or algae oil. These can be recognized by the blue MSC label or the Vegan label, respectively.

Which product should I choose?

Not everyone is the same and tastes differ. Taking an Omega-3 supplement should be doable or even enjoyable. This prevents people from dropping out. Some people absolutely cannot swallow capsules. For them, we also offer each formulation in a liquid form.

We recently started offering a soft gummy as well, when we noticed that some
seniors or little ones prefer this.

Oily fish is one of the few foods that contain vitamin D.

Fatty Omega-3 oil therefore lends itself perfectly to adding the fat-soluble vitamin D.

Not an unnecessary luxury when you realize that 60% of the Dutch have a vitamin D deficiency in winter.

So in addition to the different Omega-3 dosages, we also offer them with or without vitamin D.

What about the sustainability of Omega-3 supplements?
We are increasingly getting this question. Logical and justified when you see companies making a run for it. We have a firm opinion on this and a lot to say about it, which is why we like to do it on a separate page: https://www.arctic-blue.com/duurzaam
