KIRKLANDSignature Fish Oil Concentrate with Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 400 Softgels, 1000mg

Ok

Easy to swallow. No after taste.

Just a note that Costco in my area has this on sale for $6.99. Natural TAG and I called the vitamin hot line and they said it was made in the USA. Make sure that you get the Natural version and not the Enteric product because it is the ethyl ester and will not get into your systemic circulation (blood) as efficient as the TAG product that is of lower concentration. Also be aware that it has the USP seal. "USP is a scientific nonprofit organization that establishes federally recognized standards for the quality of drugs, dietary supplements, and foods. It is the only such organization that also offers voluntary verification services to help ensure dietary supplement quality, purity, and potency. USP standards are used in more than 140 countries and are federally recognized per the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act."My bottle of Kirkland Natural (not the enteric, ethyl ester) with lot number 395187-01 Exp. 11/216, each capsule weighs 1.53025 g with dimensions length of 24.50 mm and diameter 10.09 mm supplies 1.04088 grams of TAG fish oil. See my consumer supplied image for size relative to a US penny.American Heart Association (AHA) Recommendation from [...]"We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 oz. cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Enjoy fish baked or grilled, not fried."This amounts to for salmon 2,566 - 4,434 mg twice a week or 367-mg to 633-mg daily. Salmon is expensive ($8.99/lb in my area) and is one of the oily fish that supplies the most omega-3s per mass of fish. Some consumers can't afford salmon or other fish and maybe left out of the Inuit effect and have compromised benefits of protecting the heart and blood vessels from disease. It is my opinion that taking two of these Kirkland Natural fish oil supplements may provide the same dose as eating salmon twice a week but at an affordable price. Two Kirkland Natural softgels will provide 600 mg of omega-3 daily that is recommended by AHA for those without heart disease. This may reduce your health care cost by the statements on fish oil bottles that are approved statement by the FDA that says "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."Bottom line, AHA recommended dose for those who can't afford the price the rich pay to get cardioprotection. Just 5 cents a day for "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." seems like a no-brainer to me.Pixe

good

I just started using this product for the first time, but so far I can report I've not had an issues of burping up fishy flavors and I'm taking 3 or 4 capsules a day spread apart which is above their recommended dose so if they were going to burp any fishy tastes it would be magnified if there was an issue with it.S far as I see, the product is made from wild caught not farm raised fish. It says it's filtered to remove as much mercury as possible, yadda yadda, but they all say that.Since I've not taken the product long enough to get any tests to check my blood levels of omega 3 fatty acids etc, all I can report on is my experience with the product. I take it, I don't have any side effects making me wish I hadn't taken it. NO fish burps which is the main thing people worry about as far as taking these most of the time. ;-) 300 mg on the omega 3 is a bit lower than I had hoped for, but the price was good for the quantity 400 capsules and it's not that much lower than other products out there. 380 mg omega 3 is the MOST I've seen. I might have bought those again but given that I have to ask someone to take me to the store, then wait for when they have the time and feel like it and then pay them for gas and then try to hurry up and rush through and always forget something or not have time to get to it before they have to leave, it was just as easy to buy online.It was delivered in 2 days since I'm trying out Amazon Prime, the two orders I've made since getting it, have both been delivered in great shape in 2 days.I will take these until they're gone and if they can test for it when I have my next tests run to check my vitamin levels I'll ask for them to check for it and see how it goes.

Good price, good quality product, no fishy aftertaste.I got this to take with prohormones.400 servings at 1,000mg ea. this is a great buy.Fish oil is a common term used to refer to two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fats are usually found in fish, animal products and phytoplankton. Fish oil is recommended as a source of these omega-3 fats as they are the cheapest and most common source of them.Fish oil provides a variety of benefits when supplemented, particularly when the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body is almost equal (1:1). The average diet (red meat, eggs, and so forth) are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which is why fish oil is recommended (to balance the ratio).A ratio of roughly 1:1 is associated with healthier blood vessels, a lower lipid count and a reduced risk for plaque buildup. Fish oil can also decrease the risk of diabetes and several forms of cancer, including breast cancer.Fish oil works primarily through eicosanoids, which are signalling molecules. A proper ratio of omega 3:6 fatty acids will influence which eicosanoids are released in response to stress.It should be noted that fish oil can also reduce triglycerides in people with high triglyceride levels. However, it can also increase cholesterol, so care should be taken before supplementing fish oil for this purpose.Follow this Page for updatesThings to KnowAlso Known AsEicosapentaenoic Acid, EPA, Docosahexaenoic Acid, DHA, Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-3, Omega 3, N-3 Fatty AcidsDo Not Confuse WithAlpha-Linolenic Acid (the plant-based omega-3)Things to NoteThough fish oil is not a stimulant, it increases brain activity, so a stimulatory effect may be felt after supplementationMost of fish oil's beneficial effects happen over a period of days and weeks, rather than immediatelyPost-supplementation "fish burps" can be avoided by consuming fish oil with food, or freezing the capsules before supplementation
