Wild Caught Fish Oil Omega 3 Fatty Acids DHA EHA from Iceland

I am always looking for different EFA. This bottle looked promising, so I decided to try it.SIZEThe capsules are the size of a typical EFA capsule. It is larger than most and is filled with the oil. I don't have an issue swallowing, but some with issues concerning larger pills might struggle.BURPING?Once in a while I will burp up when taking these, but it is not that often. It usually happens when I take it on an empty stomach which is not the recommended way to take it.PERFORMANCEI take Essential Fatty Acids for pain and inflammation. It also helps to relax me a bit. Taking these helps take the edge off of inflammation and it does help me relax some.THE BOTTOM LINEThese capsules are larger than many, but pretty typical for this type of supplement. It performs well.MY RATINGFIVE STARS. I like these so far. They perform well for me. I do notice reduction in pain most of the time as well as better sleep.

I very much like that this is a high quality fish oil. It is from Icelandic fish. It is wild caught. It is also third party verified by a U.S. lab. That all tells me that this product is excellent quality.However, each cap is only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA fatty acids. That is much lower level than I normally take. There are only 30 capsules in each bottle, so it is recommended that the buyer take one a day. The price is also high for only 30 capsules of fish oil with a low amount of fatty acids and a total of 1000 mg of fish oil per capsule.Each capsule is a little larger than I am used to taking. They are about 1" long and slightly wider than typical. They are a gelcap, so they are easier to swallow than a hard pill would be. Personally, I have not noticed any aftertaste or fish burps from this fish oil.I would recommend this fish oil to others based on the fact that it is high quality fish oil; however, it may not be the most bang for your buck if you are looking for a high amount of fatty acids. I would give this product 4 stars.

I have a hard time taking fish oil. The odor and taste had conspired to make it extremely unpalatable so I switched to flax seed oil as a substitute. Unfortunately, flax seed oil isn't as effective as fish oil and also has a tendency to become rancid after a few weeks after opening (even when refrigerated).So I've tried other products, even eating my fill of walnuts for a while (they are very effective in reducing triglyceride levels). But walnuts are limited in the scope of their impact so I've been searching for a neutral fish oil, one that doesn't have the usual fishy odor and aftertaste that is hard for me to deal with. This Sport Formula Wild Caught Fish Oil Omega 3 is off to a good start. Once refrigerated, this fish oil has a nearly neutral aroma: just a hint of oiliness but nothing too strong.The capsules are rather big but taken with a full glass of water they're easy enough to swallow. I haven't experienced any stomach upset or unpleasant aftertaste because I take each capsule with food. They are a bit pricey but their quality seems sufficiently high to merit the additional cost. The question I have, however, is whether their expense over time will decrease their value and force me to switch to something comparable but cheaper. Until that time comes, I will stick with these and hope they continue proving easy for me to take.

This Sport Formula Omega 3 fish oil supplement was available to me through the Amazon Vine program. I am not impressed. First, I normally take enteric coated fish oil supplements to avoid fishy aftertaste/burps. These Sport Formula supplements are not coated. About an hour after taking my very first softgel, I started experiencing fishy burps. Yuck! Another thing I noticed is that although these softgels contain about the same amount of EPA and DHA as the considerably less expensive Nature Made Burp-less Fish Oil supplements that I usually take, the directions on these Sport Formula supplements state to take just one per day whereas Nature Made recommends taking two daily. Taking one a day doesn’t provide as much omega-3 fatty acids compared to many other fish oil supplements available (and only half of the amount of the Nature Made mentioned). However, these Sport Formula softgels are already pricey at one a day, and obviously would be twice as expensive if taken twice per day. Between the fishy burps and their high cost, I’ll pass.

I don't seem to burp up fish taste with these pills as much as other brands that I've had. These are pretty big pills but they're pretty easy to swallow because they're soft gel caps. These are a bit pricey compared to other Omega 3 pills that have more combined milligrams or even more pills for the price but I guess since these are wild caught Icelandic omega fish oil pills, they're charging more for a 30-day supply. I would think that this sport formula would have higher combined milligrams of EPA and DHA since people that work out or play sports would need higher dosages to keep their bodies healthy compared to a regular person who barely exercises. I have read that 250 to 500mg of combined EPA/DHA are the recommended daily allowances of combined EPA & DHA. These pills are only a 300mg combined dosage. I myself, I think that one pill is not enough but too would be too many for me so I would want a higher dosage to begin with, especially more than the 120mg of DHA, to match the at least the 180mg of EPA that these pills have. I am taking omega fish oil EPA/DHA to try and help treat my Sleep Apnea naturally as well as exercises and diet, so since I read that these supplements could help, I want to take the maximum dosage that I am allowed to speed up the process. Next time I will probably be buying higher dosages at a little less cost. There is no pill flavor to me unless I burp up the fish, which I haven't much.
