From the age of 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year — gradually leading to drier and looser skin. Beauty supplements provide building blocks and cofactors from which the body can build these structures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scientific basis for \"drinking collagen to get beautiful skin\" is nuanced. The body breaks down collagen peptides into amino acids — which can be used anywhere, not specifically for the skin. Nevertheless, clinical studies (especially with 5-10 g\/day collagen peptides for 8-12 weeks) consistently show improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth. The effect seems to work by stimulating the body's own collagen production through the amino acids glycine and proline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is the only EFSA-recognized component for collagen formation for the skin. It is an indispensable cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine — without sufficient vitamin C, the body cannot make functional collagen. For those supplementing with collagen, a vitamin C supplement of 500 mg\/day is a logical step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete beauty theme, add: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zinc-zinkoxide\"\u003ezinc\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin), \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/biotine\"\u003ebiotin\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin and hair), astaxanthin (UV protection and antioxidant) and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3-vetzuren\"\u003eomega 3\u003c\/a\u003e DHA (skin fatty acids).

Levertraan werd al in de 19e eeuw in Noorwegen aan kinderen gegeven om rachitis (vitamine D-tekort) tegen te gaan.

Traditionele fermentatie (waarmerk: Green Pasture FCLO) houdt vast aan een eeuwenoud proces waarbij kabeljauw-levers in vaten gefermenteerd worden — geen warmte, geen distillatie, behoud van de natuurlijke vitamine A en D in de oorspronkelijke verhouding zoals de vis ze had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeide benaderingen hebben hun publiek.

Deze diepe wens om de kracht van pure, verse Omega-3-voedingsstoffen te delen die Joar inspireerden om Noordse naturals in 1995 te vinden, en drijft het bedrijf nog steeds aan.","published_at":"2025-12-01T12:29:08+01:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"nordic-naturals","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Nordic Naturals"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2025-12-01T12:29:06+01:00","alt":"","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/www.plenthera.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/nordic-naturals-arctic-d-cod-liver-oil-lemon-237-ml-3_05481070-ffd0-44cd-bc06-575a9ba23c30.jpg?v=1776087544"}},{"id":685057343833,"handle":"super-oils","title":"Olie","updated_at":"2026-06-23T13:35:12+02:00","body_html":"Een selectie van hoogwaardige olieproducten, waaronder Omega 3 visolie, algenolie, zwarte komijnolie en kokosolie.

ALA (alfa-linoleenzuur) komt voor in lijnzaad, chiazaad en walnoten en is het enige type dat formeel als \"essentieel\" wordt aangemerkt. Het lichaam kan ALA omzetten naar EPA en DHA, maar dit conversieproces is beperkt — gemiddeld slechts 5-10% van de ingenomen ALA wordt EPA, en nog minder bereikt DHA. Daarom is een directe bron van EPA en DHA voor de meesten praktisch het meest effectief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPA en DHA worden in significante hoeveelheden alleen aangetroffen in vette vis (zalm, makreel, haring, sardines, ansjovis), in algen (de oorspronkelijke bron — vissen krijgen hun EPA\/DHA uit hun voedsel) en in krill. Voor wie weinig vette vis eet, vormt een supplement een directe en gecontroleerde aanvulling.

Retinol — afkomstig uit dierlijke bronnen zoals levertraan, runderlever, eierdooier en zuivel — is direct biologisch actief en wordt door het lichaam meteen gebruikt. Daardoor heeft retinol ook een bovengrens: bij overconsumptie kan vitamine A-toxiciteit ontstaan, met name relevant tijdens zwangerschap (teratogeen risico bij \u0026gt;700 µg\/dag).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-caroteen, daarentegen, komt uit plantaardige bronnen — wortels, pompoen, zoete aardappel, spinazie, boerenkool, rode palmolie. Het is een provitamine: het lichaam zet beta-caroteen om naar retinol op basis van behoefte. Heeft het lichaam genoeg retinol, dan stopt de omzetting en wordt het overschot opgeslagen of uitgescheiden — zonder toxiciteits-risico.

Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil Lemon is a liquid cod liver oil with a gentle lemon finish — a traditional source of omega-3 that has been a staple in Northern European households for generations. Wild-caught Arctic cod (Gadus morhua), purified in Norway according to the European Pharmacopoeia. The lemon finish makes the spoonful more pleasant than a neutral fish oil and for many users, it's the difference between sticking with it and giving up. 237 ml bottle, good for approximately 48 servings.

Product Description
What is cod liver oil? Cod liver oil is an oil derived from the liver of codfish. Unlike fish oil, which is often extracted from the whole fish, cod liver oil comes exclusively from the liver – an organ naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Additionally, it contains small amounts of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. This variant has no added vitamin D, allowing users to control their intake themselves. Origin and processing The cod used for this product is caught in the Arctic waters around Norway. Nordic Naturals exclusively uses sustainable fishing methods, certified by Friend of the Sea. The fish is processed immediately after being caught, with the liver carefully separated and cold-purified. This limits oxidation and guarantees a fresh, neutral-tasting final product. The entire production process – from catch to bottling – takes place under strict quality control. Low temperatures and nitrogen are used to prevent oxidation. Each batch is tested by external laboratories and provided with a traceable QR code. This allows users to consult test reports on purity, freshness, and oxidation values. Quality assurance Every production batch is tested by external laboratories for oxidation levels, heavy metals (such as mercury), dioxins, and PCBs. Nordic Naturals makes the results of these tests public via a QR code on the label. The product complies with the IFOS standard for purity and oxidation. It is also Non-GMO and Friend of the Sea certified. Why no added vitamin D? Some users deliberately choose a supplement without extra added vitamin D, for example, because they already get it from other sources or want to determine their dosage themselves. The Arctic Cod Liver Oil is tailored to this, containing only the fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients naturally found in cod liver. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What is the difference with the Arctic-D variant? The Arctic-D version contains 25 µg of added vitamin D3 per serving. This variant contains no added vitamin D, offering flexibility to users who want to regulate their own vitamin D intake. Is the oil suitable for children? This variant is formulated for adults. Nordic Naturals also has specific children's variants. Always consult an expert when using it for children. Is there an aftertaste? Thanks to the lemon aroma and fresh processing, the oil has a mild taste and leaves no fishy aftertaste. How long is the product shelf-stable? After opening, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within three months. The unopened bottle is stable until the date indicated on the packaging. Can I combine this with other supplements? Yes, you can. However, be careful when combining with other omega-3 or vitamin A sources. If in doubt, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
