Kerstin Krejci is a physical therapist with 18 years of experience. In addition to having her own practice, she runs other projects such as being a supervisor on several competitive sports teams. One of them is Run2gether, a team of marathon runners and highly professional athletes from Kenya. On the side, Kerstin is also running a business with Eqology, and is passionate about products that actually work and can improve people's health.
Run2gether is a non-profit organisation with the goal to encourage people of all ages, whether they are beginners or professional athletes, to find the joy in running! They arrange seminars focused on various different aspects of the sport, as well as trainings and trips with professional coaches.
Together with other sports therapists, Kerstin made a sponsorship agreement with Run2gether and 15 professional Kenyan athletes. They wanted to see how omega-3 supplements would affect the performance and health of the runners. The testing was conducted mostly between July and September of 2022 in Austria. Of the participants there were 3 women and 12 men, all of whom had different starting points with a variety of Omega-3 levels. The first test was conducted along a questionnaire before beginning the intake. The second test was conducted after 4-6 months within the first test. Fatty acids are essential for all body functions to work optimally; our brain, muscles, circulatory system, respiratory system, and the skin depend on the balance of these essential acids.

Some had as high as a 64:1 ratio. Though 9 out of 10 people have an omega-3 deficiency, it is rare to see someone with results that high. After the second round of test results were in, it was clear that taking the supplement really worked. 11 athletes had a significant improvement in their omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, and in most of the cases the athlete's result was decreased by 50% - getting them down to the “healthy zone”.
All the athletes themselves also had positive feedback in the way that their bodies felt after starting to take the Pure Arctic Oil. Some of the most mentioned side effects were better digestion, better sleep and faster recovery, which are key points for a professional athlete. After this small study there was a clear wish from them all - they want to continue using the Pure Arctic Oil.
