If I switch from Fish Oil withOmega 3 to Omega XL, will I still get all the benefits I am getting now from Fish oil withOmega 3?

In my case was the other way around, I switch from Omega XL to Omega 3, and don't get the same benefits, to is much better and get more benefits from Omega XL.

Basically that means 30% is the desired Omega oils present. In other words these are 1000 mg. fish oil tablets but there only 300 mg of omegas present. Hence, the 30%. The rest are fillers - there are better products but they will cost you - this is a natural product so it comes to a budget decision. It seems to work for me and I'm on a pension. Remember fine chocolate is in % so it's not a bad thing.

We recently updated our label to a new, more modern look. The fish oil softgels in the bottle have not changed. They are the same pharmaceutical quality they have always been.We decided to drop the term "pharmarceutical grade" from the label, even though it is the commonly used industry term for fish oil that is of the highest quality like we sell. Technically, the FDA does not grade fish oil and it has caused some confusion, so we decided to drop the term.Thanks,Kurt - Young Life Research

I carry mine to work, traveling, left it in my car, the bathroom .. It basically goes everywhere with me. Fish oil has never become "squishy" but I also have the coated kind. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Fish oil is healthy when ingested. Unless you're going to eat the fish oil soap, I don't think there's much point :)

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.

Hello :) I eat the oil because the oil is olive oil. I would not eat soybean oil or many of the other canning oils. The olive oil will help provide your OMEGA unsaturated fats, Vitamin E and of course protein in the fish. It is all very good for you. Hope this helps!

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. :)

These are large but not like a more dry chalky pill. Since are fish oil like they slide down pretty easy for me. After you take the 3 TG's for 2-3 weeks you notice changes. Before taking the Super Critical Omegas I had joint pain that required pain meds and now I rarely take anything for pain. Well worth it to me.

I will post an answer to my own question in case helps someone--I bought both the 100+30 pills of "Super Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate" and the 300 pill bottle of the "Super Omega-3 GEMS Fish Oil Concentrate" and they are EXACTLY the SAME thing. In fact the smaller bottles I received also have the word "GEMS" on the label now too, unlike the bottle pictured. It appears the addition of the word Gems is just the newer label. What is also interesting is that the price per pill was a little better with the 2 smaller bottles, at least on the day I purchased.! Worth doing the math--bigger package is not always the better price!

Yes, I'm still using it. It is one of the better quality fish oils I've used.

Yes, I believe so. I did my research on the fish oil and it seem the best. It has a good amount of omega-3's, the amount we should be in taking.

DHA and EPA are part of omega 3 fatty acids. the modern industrialized diet tends to be lower in omega 3 than would be optimal. Omega 3 has a beneficial effect on cholesterol profiles, lowers triglycerides and inflammation. Food sources of omega 3 are primarily fish and fish oil, off the menu for vegans. for a vegan supplement, get both DHA and EPA. Also get the other natural food sources such was walnuts, broccoli, leafy greens, and winter squash. Always include natural and minimally processed vegan foods and don't rely on supplements. Your body needs the "total package."

It has been tested by IFOS, the most reputable independent third party lab for omega-3 fish oil in the U.S.A. See my review for a further explanation. RWM

"Triglyceride Form" fish oil is more easily absorbed than regular fish oil. Nordic Naturals uses Triglyceride Form fish oil, and according to their website it is absorbed 70% better than regular fish oil. Its something to consider when purchasing a fish oil supplement. You should try to find out if the brand you're buying is "Triglyceride" or "Ethyl Ester" fish oil. Generally speaking Triglyceride form fish oil is better absorbed and more easily digested. It also tends to be more expensive. Eklund and Nordic Naturals are the only 2 brands I know that sell the Triglyceride form of fish oil.

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. NO. It is not.

I find Dr. Tobias Optimum Omega 3 Fish Oil is somewhat smaller but has a unique somewhat rough coating, which I prefer. Only two capsules are necessary to have 600 mg. of DHA. Most capsules require a much higher number to reach this dosage level.
