self-explanatory I hope. :)
fordums - the dictionary says 'in days of old', but I would just say something like 'has regained its former strength' here!

Food supplement company
"Kosttilskud" means "food supplement"
I checked "food supplement company" on google which seems to confirm that I am right.

\"fordum\" means \"from the past\" - perhaps it should not be translated literally and you cuold say that \"the food supplement company is back with a vengence\". \"With a vegence\" indicates that its return is greater than before, cf Advanced Learners English Dictionary. You could also say that \"the food supplement company is back and is as strong as ever\"
Hope my suggestions help.
