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.

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.

"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)."

"By far the best fish oil product I have every used. It has a pleasant strawberry scent, and the amount of EPA & DHA I need. I get a few fish burps, no where near what I've gotten with other brands. With the strawberry flavor, they are much easier to accept. I highly recommend."

"It's normal for fish-oil to be a bit, well, fishy. If that's a problem, have a fish-/flax-/borage-oil mix, which is much less fishy and will also give you your Omega 6 & 9. The attempt here to cover that fishiness up with ultra-artificial "strawberry" flavor fails miserably. I had a single pill right after a spicy, savory Malaysian curry with ginger and hot pepper. Tiny thing should've been totally overwhelmed, right? No, its disgusting flavor bubbled up to the top and came out in an hours-long series of small but sickening faux-strawberry burps. Yuck! I had to flush the whole thing down the toilet: it may enter the water-supply, but it won't do so by going through me!"

"I was nervous to start taking "fish oil" after hearing others' horror stories about "fish burps". I can safely say that I have not yet had a "fish burp" while on this product. It does have a strawberry flavor that I occasionally taste within 10-15 minutes of taking the pills; however, this does not last throughout the day and is far better than tasting fish all day. Overall, I would recommend this product. It seems to be a well-made product."
