An emulsified product is better than the capsules - try Coromega3. It is delicious and great for kids!

The omegas you list are not "added" to this wild salmon oil. They are the omegas naturally found in wild salmon, just like if you ate the fish itself. This is a completely natural product. :)

I see 2 mg of lutein/zeaxanthin in each tablet; one is advised to take 2 tablets a day. I don't see any omega 3 on the list of ingredients. My husband takes that separately, as do I.

We like the Omega 3's from Calamari, as they have a higher percentage of DHA, which is usually on the lower end of other omegas. It's generally called "Calamarine" sourced Omegas.

After all the medical articles indicating that Fish Oil was not recommended as a daily supplement ... was essentially a waste of money and might actually harm, I discontinued usage ... I am, however, slightly more constipated.

NO. It is not. As has been said, you can take both because Flax oil only contains omega-3 in ALA form (check the label) and that form, as with all plant-sourced omega-3 (except for algae), is very hard for our bodies to convert to any useful omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Fish oils, on the other hand, are "good to go" with no conversion necessary. I love flax for its moisturizing abilities, but also take fish oil as my real omega-3 source. As for flax being somehow cleaner because this one is organic, look for a molecularly distilled, domestic (Alaskan) type of fish oil (or just pure wild salmon oil) and you will be fine. I use Fisol by Nature's Way. Clean and Alaskan pollack and hake sourced.

They told me it's equivalent to eating two servings of salmon a week. But unlike eating fish you don't have as high of a risk of contaminants. A lesser risk is Sports Research Labs or Mercola brand krill oil. The least risk is buying Premier Labs Research DHA supplement but if you want virtually zero risk get Premier Research Labs EFA oil although it doesn't contain EPA or DHA. The best situation to cover all your EFA needs is buying both their DHA and EFA oil if you got the money.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

I have been taking Omega-3 Fish Oil for about 6 years. The last 4 years I have stuck with Carlson's Super Omega-3. Initially, I could sense the fishy odor, especially with other brands. I have gotten use to the Carlson's Fish Oil and do not smell anything when swallowing. As an OTC nutritional supplement, Carlson seems to be a good buy. I only need 2 gel-caps per day to get my daily DHA and EPA requirement. Other OTC brands may need 3 or 4 capsules per day, and you may get more fishy burping.

They are a decent adult size at 1,000mg each (as it says on the front of the bottle), so it depends on how big your "kid" is. :) Personally, I give my kids Vital Choice wild sockeye salmon oil. It's a pure, natural form product and tastes fresh. They can chew them up, get the oil out, and discard the softgel casing. Works great!

It's in addition to it. Omega 3 is vital for the brain size and lower length of the jaw during development. Our children are often deficient, which is why so many have overcrowded lower-teeth and wind up in braces. I also add the Vitamin D gummies. I haven't looked at the bottle since I learned that they MUST receive K2 with the D3. K2 is what beings the D from the blood into the cells. Lastly, D is useless without enough calcium, so please make sure he's getting plenty. Almond milk is an excellent source (50% more than in cow milk and doesn't have lactose or other elements that cause inflammation). It also has far more protein. Hope this helps!

In general, there is no need to take both, flax oil and fish oil. That would be too much, because both contain Omega3 fatty acids. Barlean's is a good company, which supports the I-522: Your right to know. They are for the GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) labeling. I assume you would like to know if you are taking GMO products. Having said that, I personally prefer Krill Oil. Krill Oil has the highest concentration of Omega3. I always buy Dr. Mercola's Krill Oil. You can trust Dr. Mercola's products. Please, google Dr. Mercola. He has his own website. His clinic is in the state of Illinois.

I don't eat fish, meat or dairy any longer since I switched to a plant-based protein diet for better health. However, when I ate these sardines I drained the excess oil and ate them that way. If it's olive oil, then its a little healthier than soybean oil.

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspx I don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain. You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

Thank you for your enquiry. This Boreal Fjord Omega-3 fish oil supplement is the ester form. Studies have shown that absorption rates of Omega-3 vary depending on the type taken. After approximately 3 hours, EPA and DHA concentration is higher in the triglyceride form. Within a period of 8 hours the amount of EPA in the blood can be as high as 7 times higher following the consumption of EPA as triglycerides, compared to the consumption of EPA as ethyl esters. With ethyl esters, peak concentrations are reached approximately 12 hours after consumption. However, after 24 hours, equivalent quantities of Omega-3 fatty acids are found in the blood with both ester and triglyceride forms. For those concerned about cardiac health, taking an ester form Omega-3 supplement at bedtime will give a buildup of DHA during the early hours of the morning, a time at which an elevated DHA concentration is indispensable when heart failure concerns are often elevated.

If it is present, I can't imagine it would be in a substantial enough amount to create a conflict with the Omega 3 or cause any other potential side effects of "excess" Omega 6. If it is something you are seriously concerned about, though, you should continue your search for a product with more distinct labeling.
