I see that these pills contain fish, but not fish oil. Could you please explain? What would the fish be for if it isn't fish oil?

I would recommend to call GNC, there is a number on the box, I'm sure they will better explain what you are asking for:) I take a separate fish/krill oil pill so I really don't rely on this vitamin alone.

If you go to the Carlson Labs website it describes that the children fish oil 'has 800 mg of Omega -3 Fatty Acids per each 1/2 teaspoonful' and that is Vitamin A & D free. The Carlson oil I use (adults) states it has 1,600 mg of Omega per teaspoon . . . And has Vit E. I have a 7 year old boy and I give him half a teaspoon/day. I don't think that there is much difference but it might be worth for you to contact Carlson directly. Good luck!

Robert, the recommended dose is 2 capsules a day. This is the best fish oil capsule you can buy!Hope that helps you!

The pills are not that big. I would say they are the size of a normal antibiotic capsule. They are nowhere as big as a fish oil gel capsule. I think you would be safe.

Everything is relative but since they contain a lot of EPA and DHA they are pretty large, as most other capsules that holds a larger portion of the fatty acids. You can of course burst them and swallow the oil, but then you will get the fishy aftertaste so that is not recommended if you don't like that taste. If you take the pills with either a glass of water or some food, like yoghurt or similar fluid food, then it's quite east to swallow them. Personally I take them with a glass of water and then the capsules goes down easily and don't taste anything at all.

Their website has nice info regarding the fish oil and how it compares to other fish oils on the market. Very minimal processing, comes from salmon, if I recall correctly. I did some research before choosing and have been very satisfied.

I don't notice any fishy smell. In fact, that's why I like this particular brand. I experience no fish smell and no fish taste. I have friends who say they can't take fish oil pills due to the "fish burps" they get, but I have never experienced this aftertaste with this product.

My bottle states 1000mg fish oil. My dog is doing well on it and she has severe allergies. She also loves it and definitely lets us know whe it's pill time. We put a little peanut butter on it but I think she would take it all by itself.

I think its the same. But 30% concentrate I think means that when they process the fish they have pure fish oil, then when they make the "pill" they add other things to it like the coating. Just an idea I apologize if I have not answered your question.

Looking at the bottle . . . it said the fish oil capsule contained EPA and DHA, but it did not inform as to the number of mg in the capsule. Sorry I could not be more help.

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.

In my experience, these pills are about the same size as other fish oil pills I've taken if that helps.

Similar to fish oil capsules you find at Costco. My ND recommended as a good product. They are too big for me to take twice a day, but you may be able to handle the size. Or maybe try the liquid ones. There are some with a lemon flavor.
