FAQ

Does the quality of Romega vary during seasons?

Advantages of Romega® oils over traditional fish oil are a DHA/EPA ratio of 3:1, a source of choline, emulsifying properties, higher bioavailability, increased oxidative resistance, and less fishy burps. The more protected and stable Romega® oils can be readily mixed into aqueous foods. Additional advantages of Romega® oils include the potential to be labeled Kosher and Halal, manufactured from a sustainable, MSC certified, and environmentally friendly raw material source, Norwegian spring-spawning herring.

What are sources of marine Omega-3 phospholipids?

Major sources of marine Omega-3 phospholipids are roe (fish eggs) from herring and krill oil. Arctic Nutrition has chosen to develop Romega® from herring roe because herring fishing is a certified and sustainable fishery. The roe is also already available from existing fishing operations in Norway. Thus, more fish do not need to be caught to obtain the roe for our operations. Arctic Nutrition's premium food-grade roe extracts have been developed from selected local fisheries in Norway.

What are the benefits of phospholipids?

The base component of the phospholipid (for example, choline or serine) may have health benefits independent or synergistic to the Omega-3 fatty acid components. Choline is important for lipid metabolism and maintaining a healthy liver. Choline acts as a precursor to the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which supports memory and information processing. Phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids seem to have select advantages in how they are absorbed and utilized by the human body. Phospholipids have the advantages of being soluble in aqueous vehicles, are more oxidatively stable, and potentially more bioavailable than triglycerides.

Are there disadvantages with use of Romega® oils compared to ordinary fish oils?

What makes Romega® oils unique?

Romega® is based on extracts from herring caviar - fish egg cells which are the beginning of new life.
Romega® contains sustainably sourced fish oil and Omega-3 phospholipids from herring caviar, this combination makes for an excellent Omega-3 dietary supplement for maintaining heart and brain health.
Romega® has a high concentration of phospholipid-bound DHA which gives increased bioavailability of DHA compared to traditional triglyceride-based fish oils.
