Not all fish oil is created equal: Nordic Naturals has landed in Thailand 🐟
October 21, 2026

Nordic Naturals fish oil, now in Thailand

Not all fish oil is created equal.

Most of it is a cheap commodity, bought in bulk on price - not freshness or potency.

The cheap stuff and the good stuff look exactly the same in the bottle, but there's a big difference when you dig deeper.

That's why we've brought Nordic Naturals to Thailand ðŸ‡đ🇭

Simply put, this is the best fish oil you can get. Read below to find out why.

Let's talk fish oil 🐟ðŸĪ“

Like most supplements, there are a lot of choices fish oil producers can make along the way that make a big difference in the quality of the final product.

Here's what sets Nordic apart 👇

🧠 Highest EPA & DHA concentration: One Ultimate Omega 2X softgel has 1,000mg of EPA + DHA - over 3x a regular capsule, and more than any in the Thai market.

🧎 Molecular form: Most concentrated oils are left in the cheaper ethyl ester form. Nordic converts theirs back to the natural triglyceride form, which your body absorbs better.

🧊 Freshness: Omega-3s go rancid easily (hello, fish burps...). Nordic processes in an oxygen-free environment, and their oxidation scores come in well below international limits.

🐟 Quality of the fish used: Fish absorb whatever's in the water they swim in - mercury, lead, PCBs, dioxins - and those toxins build up as you move up the food chain.

So the source fish used for the oil matters.

Nordic uses only small, short-lived, wild-caught fish (sardines and anchovies, plus Arctic cod for the cod liver oil). These fish are lower on the food chain, so they accumulate far less to begin with 🐟

🔎 Transparency & proof: Don't just take a producer's word for it - on Nordic's website, you can drop in the lot number from your bottle and see the full testing details (COA) about toxins, the fatty acid profile, and more!

The Nordic story - from a suitcase in Norway ðŸ§ģ

Joar Opheim at the first Nordic Naturals booth

Joar at the very first Nordic Naturals booth.

Joar Opheim grew up in Norway, where a daily spoonful of cod liver oil is about as normal as brushing your teeth.

When he moved to California for his MBA, he was shocked by what passed for fish oil in the US: low-concentration, rancid-tasting stuff that nobody wanted to take ðŸĪĒ

So with every trip home, he packed an extra suitcase full of the good stuff for his friends. Demand grew, the suitcase wasn't cutting it, and in 1995 he started Nordic Naturals.

Three decades later it's the #1 omega-3 brand in the US, still owned by the Opheim family, and still obsessed with doing things the hard way: they own their processing plant on the harbor in Tromsø, above the Arctic Circle, and control every step from boat to bottle.

Accept no imitations ðŸ•ĩïļ

Speaking of suitcases - you may have seen “Nordic Naturals” on Lazada or Shopee. Those are gray-market imports: not FDA-registered, often bounced around in the heat for weeks (bad news for fragile oils) or worse - counterfeits!

As part of our research for this project, we ordered some "Nordic Naturals" products off Lazada & Shoppee and received an actual counterfeit! Complete with typos in the product names...ðŸĪĶ‍♂ïļ
 

Counterfeit Nordic Naturals Vitamin C bottle

“GMUMMIES” anyone?

Supplements have always been a relatively easy target for counterfeiters, and a premium global producer like Nordic Naturals is constantly fighting against "gray" marketplaces.

Rest assured that (at long last!) we are the exclusive authorized Nordic Naturals distributor in Thailand ðŸ‡đ🇭

Ours are stored in our 4°C chiller to preserve the freshness, too ðŸĨķ
