About Arctic Nutrition:

Romega Arctic Bioscience
  • Founded in 2011 by Hogne Hallaråker, Harald Nordal and Jan Remmereit
  • The nutraceutical, Romega, was developed based on herring roe.
  • Herring roe is very rich in omega 3 phospholipids, which are needed for normal brain, vision and heart function.
  • Romega is sold as a bulk ingredient to dietary supplement manufacturers in several countries.
  • In Norway, Romega is sold as a finished product in capsules.
  • In 2019, Arctic Nutrition established a strategic partnership with Kotler Marketing Group China, which has now launched Romega as a dietary supplement for pregnant women in China to ensure normal development of the brain and vision in the fetus.
  • In 2020, promising results from the first controlled clinical study with herring roe oil on mild to moderate psoriasis were published in Acta Dermato-Veneorlogica.
  • Arctic Nutrition received the SIVA award in 2020 for innovation and maximizing resource utilization of residual raw material in herring fillet production.
  • The company made the decision to go public in order to raise capital to carry out product development and clinical documentation of the pharmaceutical drug candidate derived from herring roe oil.
