This is a Winner if you're Cholesterol Concerned you Need it
Bottom Line: Fish Oil really works to prevent artery disease namely heart disease and strokes. It's not a bogus health food thing it really works.
You need the EPA and the DHA from the fish. The other omega-3's 6's etc. aren't the same. Skip the flaxseed etc. You want enough EPA and DHA you don't wanna be grossed out by the taste or get a fishy "repeat" and you don't wanna drink a bunch of unnecessary fat.
This stuff is good because: it has the right concentration of EPA/DHA: 1.3 g/teasp which is high. And it tastes good. Even Nordic Naturals a very respected company has a similar EPA/DHA level but tastes nasty.
Remember these supplements aren't regulated. Go to consumerlabs.com they test the supplements. This wasn't tested but Carlson capsules and cod liver oil were tested and passed so i assume and hope this passes also.
That's all you need to know. If you're 30 or older and you have high blood pressure and cholesterol like everyone else take in at least 2 grams of EPA/DHA a day your arteries will stay clean.

Would be great if not for the misleading advertising
The description and the label both state that this is for 180 500 mg softgels. In fact they are only 250 mg soft gels and there is a suggested serving size of 2 softgels to get your 500mgs. I feel like this is false advertising as I received only half the amount that I expected...I expected 180 500 mg softgels as indicated on both front of bottle and amazon product description. I received 90 servings not 180. Just be forwarned so when you do the math you aren't as irritated as I was!! Tomorrow I will be calling Nordic Naturals to complain. Otherwise the product is great...strawberry aftertaste is pleasant.
