Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands out in a jungle of olive oils
With Approved EFSA Health Claim: Contributes to the prevention of LDL-oxidation.
Description
Since we have high demands on the olive oil we use for our unique mix of fish oil in ArcticMed Omega-3 Premium, we often get the question of how to find an olive oil like the one we use.
The short answer:
It costs time, money, and effort.
A little longer answer:
We put great effort into finding, at each harvest season, producers who manage to produce an oil with the highest possible content of a number of bioactive substances that we consider to be of utmost importance.
This means that we send a number of extra virgin olive oils from different manufacturers to be analyzed at an independent laboratory.
Unfortunately, only a few producers are able to meet the criteria we set up.
Only Extra Virgin Olive Oil that meets all the extreme requirements we have set up will be used in the secret blend of ArcticMed Omega-3 Premium.
Any extra supply will be sold in limited edition 500ml bottles.
Since this is a truly limited edition, we have chosen to sell the olive oil only through our webshop and at the same price to all customers (resellers and end customers).
Warm greetings

This year's harvest
This year I am happy to announce that the olive oil we sourced from high altitude in Spain meets and even surpasses all my criteria in the lab tests.
As many of you may know, I have extreme quality demands on the olive oil that I mix with the fish oil in what becomes ArcticMed Omega-3 Premium. Some years, there will also be enough extra virgin olive oil to be bottled separately in limited edition, bottles.
My demands for the content of healthy substances are extreme, which unfortunately makes it hard to find a supplier who can deliver an olive oil that meets my criteria.
Why ArcticMed?
All natural ingredients.
Laboratory-tested products with a uniquely high standard.
Several leading health professionals use and recommend our products.

- Cancer Prevention: The polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil have been found to have anti-cancer properties, particularly for breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
- Brain Function: The high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids in extra virgin olive oil may help improve cognitive function and memory. Studies have also shown that consuming extra virgin olive oil may help reduce the risk of developing dementia.
