Take only what you need and utilize everything you harvest from nature
For us sustainability is all about respecting nature and safeguarding that there will be resources available also for future generations.
MyMatsya is a modern version of Cod Liver Oil where we use all trimmings from food production of cod, not only the liver. We believe that we need to utilize everything we harvest from nature so there will be enough EPA and DHA for the world’s growing population.
The abundance of Cod has been a profound influence on the rise of settlements in the Norwegian coastal areas. Since the Viking age, 1000 years ago, Norwegians have exported products based on Cod. We see the importance of fishing in a sustainable way to make sure there will be enough Cod also for future generations.
In addition to sustainable fishing practices we believe we should utilize everything that is harvested. We have contracts with several fishing vessels that are fishing cod in the Barents Sea. The fish is processed onboard and the trimmings from the production of food for human consumption are processed into fish oil and fishmeal. We collects this first stage oil from the fishing vessels approximately every 4-6 weeks during the whole year as long as the quotas are not finished. Our engagement to buy the raw materials from the boats helps fishermen to utilize the whole catch.

Why Liquid Fish Oil
MyMatsya cod liver oil has a neutral taste, having been formulated to be free of the seafood flavor and you can also add it to your salad or smoothie.
With regular fish oil capsules, a person typically has to swallow 8-10 gel caps to equal the omega-3 dose found in a traditional tablespoon of cod liver oil (depending on the brand and concentration).
Many manufacturers concentrate their oil. These concentrates contain more beneficial EPA and/or DHA omega-3 fatty acids in fewer servings. However, to make space for these up-concentrated fatty acids in the capsules, the manufacturer has to compensate by removing other naturally occurring fatty acids and nutrient cofactors from the oil.
This kind of processing can negatively impact the nutritional value of the oil. Moreover, studies reveal that highly concentrated omega-3s are not always as readily absorbed in the body as natural fish oils.
According to the Healthy Hearts Club, the body can use 98% of nutrients from liquid extract. That number drops to between 39 and 53% when ingesting a capsule. Your body has to work harder to break down the fish oil capsules and reaps less of the benefits.
