February is National Heart Health Month. Did you know that more than 610,000 people die each year in the US alone from heart disease? That is one in every four deaths, making it the leading cause of death in both men and women. It is no surprise then that the American Heart Health Association recommends eating fish two times per week in an effort to support overall cardiovascular function and reduce the incidence of heart disease. Why? Because thousands of clinical studies have shown that increased intake of EPA and DHA – the omega-3 essential fatty acids naturally found in fish and fish oil- have many cardiovascular benefits.
But simply including fish in your diet may not always be sufficient and there are also concerns over environmental contaminants. Supplementing the diet with a high-quality purified fish oil guarantees the recommended dosage of omega-3’s to support heart health, particularly for anyone with existing cardiovascular disease.
Nordic Naturals, the #1 Fish Oil Company in the US, understands the importance of combining fish oil supplementation with a heart-healthy diet rich in whole, nutrient dense food, such as the Mediterranean diet along with an active lifestyle to support heart health. Their range of supplements contains a number of pure, fresh, high quality omega-3 formulations that support cardiovascular health from maintenance all the way to high concentration supplementation in a number of delivery systems such as soft gels, liquids, gummies, and emulsions.
I was sent samples of Nordic Naturals supplements to review. I received a bottle of Ultimate Omega 2X and a bottle of CoQ10 Ubiquino, as well as The book The Complete Mediterranean Diet by Dr Ozner.
Ultimate Omega 2X
The next generation of fish oil, Ultimate Omega® 2X features Nordic Natural’s new, ultra-concentrated omega oil. In a slightly larger soft gel that delivers 1000 mg EPA+DHA, this powerful concentrate offers one or two soft gel serving options to meet a broad range of unique nutritional needs.

Nordic CoQ10 Ubiquinol™ provides 100 mg of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) ubiquinol to support cellular energy production and cardiovascular health.* Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, a fat-soluble molecule found in nearly every cell, tissue, and organ in the body, which helps transform food into energy. It is ideal for people who may be deficient in CoQ10, or for individuals with cardiovascular conditions, those taking statin drugs, or for anyone over the age of 40 looking for extra antioxidant support. Ideal companion to any Nordic Naturals omega-3 product.

The Complete Mediterranean Diet by Dr Ozner
Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer—all diseases that have been scientifically linked to diet—are at an all-time high. But there’s a way that’s been successful for millions of people for thousands of years: the Mediterranean diet.
In The Complete Mediterranean Diet, top cardiologist Michael Ozner offers the traditional Mediterranean diet—clinically proven to reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer and numerous other diseases—with the latest scientific findings in health and nutrition to create a diet that’s easy to follow.
Thank you, fish, for giving us your precious oil so that we can be healthy!
My family has a history of heart disease on my mother’s side, and so I am determined to do all that I can to keep my heart healthy. I don’t eat fish often at all, and most omega-3 supplements that I have tried give me the grossest fishy aftertaste. Thankfully, Nordic Naturals has created omega-3 supplements that do not bother me at all. The Ultimate Omega 2X capsules have a lemon flavor and are easy to swallow.
The CoQ10 supplements have really seemed to boost my energy levels. I never get tired during the day like I used to. I have been taking both of these supplements for about a month now and I have definitely been healthy this winter.
I haven’t read the The Complete Mediterranean Diet by Dr Ozner, but I plan to do so. Flipping through it, however, I can see that there are a lot of enticing recipes from appetizers to desserts that look easy and delicious. Each recipe has nutritional information which makes it easier if you’re counting calories, carbs, fat grams, which is great. I can’t wait to try some of the recipes!
