QA
Question:
- Is TINE’s oil traceable?
- From which type of fish is the oil sourced?
- Polyunsaturated fat, such as EPA and DHA, are exposed to oxidation (rancidity). Can the substances created by oxidation be harmful to the health?
- From what part of their diet do Norwegians get long-chained Omega-3?
- Is the oil from TINE better than other oils?
- What will happen if I do not consume any EPA and DHA at all? Vegetarians do without, don’t they?
- Who are most likely to have a lower level of the long-chained Omega-3 fatty acids in their diets?
- How do I know whether I consume a satisfactory amount of the long-chained Omega-3 fatty acids through my diet?
- I have heard that harmful environmental toxins can be stored in the fish fat. How can I be certain that I do not consume any of this through the Omega-3-added food products?
- What is the usual dosage of EPA and DHA in the Omega-3-added food products?
- Can those who are allergic to fish eat TINE’s Omega-3-added food products?

- Is there a difference between Omega-3 from plants and Omega-3 from fish?
- Do we need EPA and DHA?
- What functions do EPA and DHA have in the body?
- What sources do EPA and DHA come from?
- How much Omega-3 do I need?
- Why does one talk about “a balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6”?
- How do the marine Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA affect cardiac health?
- What is EPA and DHA (marine Omega-3)?
- What is Omega-3?
Answer:
The long-chained Omega-3 fatty acids come mainly from marine fat.
Approximately 91% of EPA and DHA come from fish and fish oil supplements in the Norwegian diet1. Those who eat oily fish (equivalent to one fish dinner per week or more) and/or consume marine oil supplements on a regular basis will meet their requirements for EPA and DHA.
However, a large part of the population has a low intake of these sources, and therefore also a lower intake of EPA and DHA than the recommended amount1,2.
