Great Omega-3 Oils at a Great Price by a Reputable Company September 9, 2005
James Koenig (Minnesota)

Omega-3 fatty acids from our foods (or through supplementation) are important because our bodies do not have the enzymes necessary to create these long-chain fatty acids.
The major omega-3 fatty acids are:
ALA, (alpha) linolenic acid
EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid
DHA, docosahexaenoic acid
Supplemental Omega 3 Oils:
Many people desire to supplement their omega-3 fatty acid intake with dietary supplements. These supplements generally contain flaxseed oil or fish oil.
Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid but no EPA and DHA
Marine algae sources produce only DHA and no EPA
Cold water marine fish oil contains primarily EPA and DHA
The preferred form of omega-3 fatty acids is triglycerides from fish oil. It is the most bioavailable form. Another positive about omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplements is that most of the contaminants, such as harmful PCBs and metals, have been removed during the purification process. Recently, Harvard Medical School researchers studied commercially available omega-3 fish oil supplements and found that they have only "negligible amounts of mercury". Further, they state: "The additional benefit of fatty acids from fish oil is that large doses of Omega-3 fatty acids can be ingested easily in a capsule without the risk of toxicity".
It is important to note that you should always buy omega-3 nutritional supplements with antioxidants. Antioxidants keep your omega-3 supplements fresh and when combined with vitamin E and/or other antioxidants you will decrease or eliminate the incidences of "fish burps".
Benefits of Omega-3 Oils:
Omega-3 fatty acid (oil) supplements may reduce cardiovascular events (death, non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes) if taken in suficient quantities. They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the heart arteries) in coronary patients. While increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake through foods is preferable, most people may not be able to get enough omega-3 by diet alone. Thus, folks who are interested in Omega 3 oils may want to talk to their doctor about taking a supplement such as this one. Supplements may also help people with high triglyceride levelss, who need even larger doses. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular disease are so well demonstrated that the American Heart Association has published statements since 1996 recommending increased fish intake and/or omega-3 supplements.
In addition, Omega-3 oils help reduce inflammation and are therefore good for those with rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis.
The standard dose of Omega-3 oils is 1-3 grams per day. Generally this is 3 tablets, one with each meal.

No fishy burps! October 20, 2007

I'm a new omega-3 fan. My first try was a different brand - without the lemon flavor - and I had to give them away - and that person ended up throwing them out. Then I tried this brand - with the lemon flavor - and now I never get that 'fishy-tasting burp'.
I'm trying this and Niacin to work on my Triglycerides, so in a few more weeks, I'll have the blood checked, and the results at that time.
Solid product and good price February 21, 2007
