CarlsonElite Omega-3 Gems,1600 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids Including EPA and DHA,Norwegian, Wild-Caught fish oil Supplement,Sustainably Sourced Capsules, Lemon, 90+30 Softgels

Honestly, this Carlson fish oil is the real deal. First off, it actually tastes... not terrible? The lemon oil they mix in somehow works like a magic trick. You would think fish oil is gonna wreck your breath and have you burping up low tide all day, but nope. None of that nastiness. The lemon totally masks it, and I barely even notice I took it.Quality wise, it feels clean. Like, really clean. No weird aftertaste, no funky smell when you open the bottle, none of that rancid stuff you get with the cheaper oils that've probably been sitting in a warehouse since 2016. This one feels fresh every time, and my stomach is not mad at me after taking it, which is saying something.Only weird part is pouring it. It comes in a bottle instead of capsules, which I knew but still manage to make a mess every now and then. One time I forgot to put the cap back on tight and had lemon fish oil all over my fridge shelf. That was not a vibe. But whatever, small price to pay for something that does not make me gag and actually helps my joints feel less creaky.If you have ever been burned by fish oil before (and who has not?), this one might change your mind.

The clean source, trusted company, and dosage of Omega-3s is what makes this item top notch in fish oil lines. If you don't know what a high-quality fish oil supplement can do for you, do a little bit of research on Omega 3 and you'll see what all the rave is about. Omega 3s, in a nutshell, keep inflammation down to a point. Recovery in fitness is faster and overall health (skin, mood, mental, physical) is improved. I'm not a doctor so check with your physician before supplementing.Carlson's ELITE fish oil is from the deep sea of Norway. Their fish oil is constantly being tested for any contaminants (such as mercury and others) which is a must. I believe Carlsons and another Norwegian company have that part down to a science and their reviews from others show for it. Now dosage, FDA recommends 1000mg of fish oil in your daily diet, but if you look at what people are taking as supplement the popular dosage seem to be in the 2500-4000mg per day. Certain northern hemispherical Native Americans have been known to consume up to 10,000mg of fish oil daily from fish with no ill consequences, so I believe at 1/4 to 1/2 that should be OK for the most part. You might want to increase dosage gradually over 2 weeks to allow yourself to get accustomed, otherwise your movements may be on the loose side if you go up too quickly. With these pills, you won't have to take ridiculous amounts of pills because the dosage is high per pill (difference between their super and elite fish oils). These are also lemon flavored, so in the case that you might get fish burps, it's not terrible. If you want absolute no fish burps, get enteric coated fish oils. However, people have reported no fish burps with this product. I myself, have minimal fish burps but I believe the burps is from the food I take with the pill and not the pill itself.Do yourself a favor and start supplementing, specially if you don't get a lot of fish in your diet. Omega 3, from their natural source, should be a staple. Low inflammation, increased physical efficiency by helping lower inflammation, healthier skin, better B. movements, etc.

I'm switching to these capsules instead of Bodyvega because these capsules are IFOS approved, meaning they meet or exceed the listed dosages of what's advertised, per capsule. Also, they're TG instead of EE which means they last longer and absorb better. Plus, it's at a great price point.A large chunk of fish oil pills on the market are not IFOS approved, meaning you're getting sometimes a significantly less amount of actual omega-3 oils than what is claimed on the bottle. Those are just a waste of money.*Update* After having taken these for some time.... these actually helped lower my triglyceride levels from over 580 average to around 380. Still ridiculously terrible, BUT I had never been that low on ANY OTHER fish oil pill. If I were to exercise like I'm supposed to, I figure I could get within normal levels. But I also did notice something that has been bugging me for a while. I have a patch of eczema on my knuckle that I never could really get to go away. After I started taking these, my eczema has almost completely disappeared. the overall size has shrunk, the intensity of the scaling has lessened dramatically, AND I have yet to have to put anymore cream on it to control the itching.I also started using a tea tree oil soap, so that might be affecting it as well, BUT I did start noticing improvement BEFORE starting the tea tree soap, so I have every reason to believe this by itself was helping the eczema.I normally take 2-3 a day, and also add in a flax seed oil pill to help finish off the last bit of required omega-3's per day, which my doctor says is about 4,000mg per day. The biggest complaint my doctor had about this though, was the EPA and DHA were too close together, he would prefer more EPA and less DHA. I still think these are much better quality than the ones he recommended, which were EE based, as I had tried them before and results were negligible, but I have noticed an improvement overall with these.

My favorite fish oil supplement.

No fishy taste. No after taste. 1600 mg is a good level of Omega 3 for my health. I have been taking the Carlson brand for many years.

Excellent product! Highly recommend by my internist!

These are the best easy to take. I believe they are the best ingredients. We order every month. My husband and I take them. Good price.

Recommended by Dr Rhonda. I get burps from these if I do 2 at a time. Some new studies out saying not to get too much. I only take one fish oil and one cod liver capsule from same manufacturer. My doctor doesn't check for omega 3s or 6s.
