Founded this year, Fjorda is a female-led company ‘passionate about our collective well-being’, and located in Kristiansund, on the Norwegian coast – city with a fish oil history that goes back almost 200 years.
This tradition combined with new technology makes them capable of producing capsules with more concentrated omega-3 EPA and DHA per capsule, increasing their health effects.
‘To make people healthy for life, naturally. We do this by bringing together food science expertise, renowned R&D capabilities, leading-edge manufacturing, and the purest raw ingredients to create the best quality omega-3 supplements,’ said Beate Thy, one of the organisation’s founders. A commitment to sustainability is a cornerstone of the company’s growth.
‘We want to be on top of the standards in the supplement industry so that it becomes mandatory for everyone to have sustainability on their agenda,’ co-owner and marketing manager Beate Thy said.
Besides its Friend of the Sea certification, the company uses recycled aluminium bottles and labels manufactured by an Eco-lighthouse certified Norwegian company. They’ve also committed to three UN Sustainability goals, with the aim to continuously improve as they grow. At heart, Fjorda’s founders believe the effort to keep a small environmental footprint will only improve their products, keeping their quality standards high.
The Fjorda supplements are targeted to each health condition. For example, the ‘heart’ pills have a higher ratio of EPA to DHA, which is shown to help maintain normal cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels. Conversely, the ‘brain’ supplement is formulated with ultra-pure DHA. In addition, all contain more than 75% omega-3.
