QA
- 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?
- Can Omega-3-added food products replace cod liver oil and a diet containing oily fish?
- Can I consume too much Omega-3, EPA or DHA?
- Does everybody benefit from supplements of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA?
- 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?
No, strictly speaking we can live without EPA and DHA, because the body as the ability to create these fatty acids itself from plant Omega-3.
However, supplying these fatty acids directly through the diet does seem to be more optimal for the health of the eyes, the brain and the immune system. This means that we achieve a higher level of EPA and DHA in the tissue, which seems to be more optimal.
We do not have a separate recommendation when it comes to EPA and DHA in Norway, but internationally there are several. ISSFAL (International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids) recommends an intake of 500 mg of EPA and DHA on a daily basis to protect against cardiovascular disease1.
The health benefits of plant-derived Omega-3 are documented to a much lesser extent than marine Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
