Vitacost Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA Fish Oil -- 2126 mg per serving - 120 Softgels
Premium-quality purified fish oil softgels provide an optimum ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA. Ideal way to increase omega-3 consumption without having to eat more fish! What is Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA? Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is a premium-quality fish oil supplement delivering high elemental levels of two of the most-studied omega-3 essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA. . Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the body and must be obtained through diet. Fatty fish such as cod tuna and salmon are the best source but they can also be found in some plant sources and in flaxseed walnuts and soybeans. Most people do not eat enough of these foods however to obtain optimal amounts of omega-3 nutrients. In this case taking a supplement such as Vitacost Mega EFA may be beneficial. Unlike other low-cost low-grade fish oil supplements which may contain traces of dioxin mercury PCBs and other environmental contaminants Vitacost Mega EFA has been molecularly distilled to guarantee the freshest purest product. Mega EFA also contains a higher milligram-per-serving amount of omega-3 fatty acids than other brands with 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA in each two-softgel serving. How does Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA support health? EPA and DHA are well known for their cardioprotective properties their ability to maintain healthy cognitive function their potential to support healthy moods and their positive impact on joint comfort and flexibility*. Higher blood levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA are associated with a healthier mood*. Why choose Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA? Provides higher milligram-per-serving amount than other fish oil supplements (EPA = 800 mg and DHA = 400 mg—in each two-softgel serving). Easy-to-swallow softgels with pleasant strawberry flavor. Molecularly distilled to ensure mercury dioxins and PCB levels are well below industry standards. An economical and convenient way to meet the American Heart Association’s recommendation to increase daily omega-3 fatty acid consumption. Contains 60 servings per bottle.

"This is the best fish oil supplement I have ever used. I have tried countless 'enteric coated' ones that promise no after-taste, but still had one either immediately or several hours later.
This one NEVER has an after taste at all. And the level of omega 3 available is one of the highest available, as well as a very economical price. I recommend these to everyone I know."

"This is a good product that I would recommend. I bought it after reading many positive reviews which highlighted the fact that there's no fishiness to it. Well, yes, it goes down tasting like strawberry, but it does repeat on me tasting fishy. Not too bad and I still take it every day."

"This product is fresh. I'll buy these again. I used to get "burpless" fish oil but after research online decided to not to anymore. Every once in awhile I experience a slight strawberry burp with these but it is a pleasant strawberry and very little of anything else. Having a fresh product really makes a difference that way. I think the trick is not to take the supplement on an overly full stomach and drink enough water when swallowing the capsules. Works great for me! I recommend"

"I pop some of these open and give them to my dogs too and they aren't oily like other brands I kept buying (other ones are thick oil inside these are like water). The other brands are more plain fish oil and low in EFA and DHA compared to these. The oil inside doesn't even have a fishy smell, my dogs were kinda puzzled (they like the nasty fishy smell of the other ones, but now like these too)."
