I am Odd Roar Olsen, born and raised in Ballstad, a small fishing village in Northern Norway. On this small island within the Lofoten Islands, 200 kilometers above the arctic circle, Ballstad, a home of about 1000 people, has been the center of fishing activities and the livelihood of the people for thousands of years.

Life on an island in the north of Norway

Growing up in a place where everything is earned through hard work and perseverance has been a profound opportunity for me. It instilled in me the firm belief that success comes through self-sacrifice and deserving it. This upbringing formed the core of my conviction that dedication and unwavering determination yield positive outcomes in life. The journey has been both enriching and challenging.

However, after spending time working and living outside Norway, I noticed that my body and mind weren't functioning at their best. This led me to investigate the reason behind it, and I realized that my diet at that time lacked sufficient fish and omega-3s. Omega-3 had been an integral part of our lifestyle while growing up, and it was as commonplace in Mediterranean countries as using olive oil. The deficiency of omega-3 in my diet was affecting my performance.

The mother smiles warmly on the left, the father is in the center with one child hugging him from behind, and the second child stands close by, all sharing a moment of togetherness and affection.

While living in Istanbul, the lack of access to fresh omega-3s became even more important as my wife was expecting our first child. Of course, I wanted to provide the best for the health and well-being of my wife and child. This personal experience further highlighted the need for a reliable and high-quality omega-3 supplement that can meet the specific nutritional needs of pregnancy and beyond. For several years I have personally brought omega-3 supplements from Norway, to meet our family's needs. As a result of my research and training in the omega-3 industry, I have realized that there is a huge demand for a product that can meet our needs - fresh and concentrated Norwegian omega-3 delivered right to your door!

"Good Enough" was definitely not enough for my children. I wanted the best and the freshest.

I found that industry standards lagged far behind the standards I wanted to provide for my family. There was what seemed like a race in the omega-3 industry, a race where cost was prioritized. That's why we had to double to quadruple industry standards to reach the standards that I was used to and grew up with at Ballstad.

Each Ballstad capsule had to be custom made just for us. This way, I could have full control over the entire quality control process, from fish oil production to the final packaged product. When you choose Ballstad, I guarantee you will experience the unique and exceptional

Ballstad quality every time. Our fish oils are meticulously produced in one of the best production facilities in the world, in the western region of Norway. With the latest technology and expertise, we manufacture our supplements to the highest standards of quality, purity and freshness.

This awareness led to the birth of Ballstad. We have come together as a team with decades of experience in the manufacture and distribution of omega-3 supplements. As Ballstad, our aim was to modernize the production chain from the fishing stage to the final product without sacrificing quality, purity and freshness.

The Ballstad quality

Living as a Norwegian in a busy city like Istanbul and raising two young children takes a lot of energy. Omega-3 helps me balance my body and live life to the fullest. I also feel a responsibility to share the benefits of omega-3 with others. Thus, those who discover Ballstad Omega-3 can create positive changes in their lives by transferring these benefits to their friends and families.

Thanks to this "omega-3 movement", we can all reach a better and more balanced life. I am happy that you have given us the opportunity to introduce our product. We are proud of our achievements and we hope that Ballstad will become an important part of your lifestyle and support the health of you and your loved ones.
