Yes, I do. I use a mixture of omega 3, 6 and 9, in amounts needed to meet the requirements for my age and lifestyle. I travel a lot and make always sure I have the best supplements with me. Recently I’ve added krill oil to my daily consumption, which I find makes me feel better and more energetic.

I am a tennis player and a fan of FC Twente (Dutch soccer team). I also like to meet up with people and I like to win!!
