Actually has 360 mg
By G Johntz
The true dose is only revealed by adding the EPA and the DHA. One softgel has 216 mg of EPA and 144 mg of DHA. So, one softgel has 360 mg of helpful fish oil and the remaining 840 mg is filler fish oil.

When comparing fish oil, look at the back panel supplement facts. Add the EPA and DHA to get the true MG and make sure you look at the serving size. Nature made has 2 softgels per serving size, so you must divide by 2 to get the per softgel info.

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega or Twin Labs Mega appear to be better choices.

Big!
By John B. Goode
In my quest for heart health I'm not sticking with one brand but trying all different types of fish oil or cod liver oil. This purchase is my latest one.

1) Cost: The cost per oz. or cost per capsule is often misleading because different products (even within brands) have different potencies. To find the real cost, divide the cost by the total amount of omega-3's in a bottle. I use total Omega-3 for convenience, some other products might also contain other vitamins and Omega-6's which would throw this off, so I'm just using O-3 to simplify my calculations.

For example, this bottle has 150 servings (300 capsules) at 720mg per serving (2 capsules per serving). That's 150 servings X 720mg = 108,000mg or 108g of Omega-3's per bottle. Divide that by the current cost of 18.50 will give you 17 cents/gram of Omega-3. And to that you have to add sales tax if applicable and shipping. It's usually more cost effective to buy enough items to get free shipping from Amazon.

2) The product itself: The capsules are big, bigger than other fish oil capsules I'm used to. I also like to bite the capsule as I don't like swallowing pills of any sort. As this fish oil is from sardines and anchovies I can tell you that they have a very strong anchovy taste, if you can't stand anchovies on your pizza you might not like this, but I'm fine. I usually have this with tea or coffee so any fish taste is instantly washed away. And some other products have lemon oil to disguise the taste. For me, I like sushi, so fishy taste doesn't bother me at all.

3) Safety: This product specifically states that dioxins, PCBs, furans, and mercury are removed or not detectable within certain limits. I will only buy products that has something like that on it. For example, I was going to buy the NatureMade cod liver oil, but I could not find that statement anywhere on it's website or on the bottle and so I passed on that and got this instead.

4) Potency: About 1000 mg of Omega-3 is recommended per day from most sources that I read; the FDA does not give a recommendation. Every product is a little different but they seem to range +/- 200mg of that recommendation. This product gives you 720mg per day in two capsules. Some products give you their recommended dosage all the way from 1 to 5 capsules, i.e. you take from 1 to 5 capsules to get that recommended dosage. 5 capsules seem a lot but one of the Carlson products does exactly that.

Summary:
Find your best deal (calculate the cost/mg as above).
Decide whether you want to take 1 or 5 capsules per day (potency).
Taste - Lemon or not.
Make sure it doesn't have any contaminants.

Perfect!
By sophius
I decided to take this as part of the "zone" anti-inflammation diet for arthritis (4 a day.)

I was worried about fishy burps etc but I have noticed no changes at all in my breath or anything else.

The soft gels are large but very easy to swallow!

As for my anti-inflammation diet it's no magic pill but I have noticed a decrease in my pain. Omega threes really are awesome!

My hair has also started looking healthier!
