Frode hails from Bergen and has been an active exerciser for almost three decades, and likes to stay in shape year-round. A few years ago, however, in the best shape of his life, he suffered unexpected and sudden heart problems.
Concerned about heart health
After being urgently admitted to hospital for a health check-up – and after a couple of months of subsequent training as a heart patient – he was fortunately given the go-ahead to continue his active life with the training he loves so much. Frode lost his father to cardiac arrest at a much too young age, so health and prevention have been very important, especially when it comes to heart health.
“I read a lot – both about what to be careful of and what to consume more of. I was already living a pretty healthy life, so perhaps the most important lesson I learned was the health benefits of consuming omega-3 daily,” says Frode.
Convinced that omega-3 is good for everyone
Frode has had a healthy skepticism about dietary supplements, but is convinced that omega-3 is good for everyone – and not least for the heart.*
In addition to exercise, a healthy diet is important. Although I try to eat a lot of fish, the healthy fats are probably the hardest to get enough of. That's why omega-3 is the only supplement I take regularly, he says.
Confidence in herring roe as a raw material
Frode has used many different omega-3 products from a variety of suppliers, from small plankton raw materials to cod liver and seal blubber. For the past two years he has been using Romega daily, and he is very happy with the product. In a way, he also finds it extra reassuring to know that Romega is developed from herring roe, the very building blocks for new life from the healthy herring, which is fished in clean Norwegian waters.
Have good experiences with Romega
My experiences are at least good. Not least, my heart has also mostly functioned exemplary, thank goodness! So the Romega capsules will continue to be part of my daily diet. It's almost like extra health insurance.
We thank Frode for sharing his story with us and are happy that Romega is a permanent part of his everyday life.
