Vitacost Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA Fish Oil -- 2126 mg per serving - 240 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 purified 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 120 servings per bottle.

"My family and I have been taking these super potent fish oil capsules for several years. The ratio of DHA and EPA is higher than any other supplement of it's kind out there in the retail market. The price is outstanding, and none of us have trouble swallowing these capsules, as they are very slick. We may occasionally burp up the strawberry flavor but it is not bothersome. Experts recommend omega 3's for many, many health related concerns. Try these, I think you will be pleased with the good "side effects"."

"This is a high quality mega dosage omega 3 preparation. Make sure you buy the right amount to have it not sit on the shelf too long. When it's fresh, the after taste is berry; if it's stale it tastes as bad as any other fish oil. Easy to take in soft, if big, capsules."

"This is the first fish-oil produce I've ever tried that didn't leave me burping fishily for hours after taking it.
The fruity flavor of the gel capsules is a little odd, but it doesn't linger.
A great product, and a great way of getting those omega 3s."
