Which Omega 3 supplement to order?

[Mikesa3]

I've decided to start taking a Omega 3 supplement but looking at the http://www.nordicnaturals.com/retailers/ultimateomega.asp website I can't decide which would be best. I was thinking of the woman one but noticed the levels in the ingredients are a lot lower then the other ones. Anyone take these and can recommend one to try?
Thanks

It seems like you've picked a great company to deal w/ (assuming their claims are accurate). Molecular distillation, no harmful pollutants and frequent testing are important to me.

I would tend to stick w/ a pill w/ no additional ingredients unless I'd thorough checked them out too.

I take Nordic Naturals (when I remember :)). It is the brand recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil from Prevention magazine. I just take the regular "Omega-3" type, pretty standard fish oil only supplement. Two a day supplies 1400 mg Omega-3 fatty acids (720 mg EPA, 480 mg DHA, 200 mg other omega-3), which is pretty close to what I've seen recommended in a couple of places. I tried other Omega-3 supplements in the past and couldn't stand them because of fishy burps (sorry if TMI). I have never had that problem with Nordic Naturals.

Thanks,I guess I should be thinking about giving some to my kids too. Is there any special age that it should be used for or is it good for all ages?

Thanks,do you order them from the Nordic website or do you find them somewhere else cheaper? Do you take any other vitimin supplements?

I also take the regular Nordic Naturals Omega-3, but I just take one a day. I really like how there is no aftertaste.

I found it at a local health food store, called Sprouts.

I just ordered today from vitaminshoppe.com and got the Nordic one that is lemon flavored. We'll have to post about how we like them!

Go through ebates and you will get a code for $5 off a $25 or $10 off a $40. I got some more Animal Parade vitamins for Ryan and some essential oil that I was about out of so I made it to $40. :)

I get mine at our local natural foods co-op.

Carlson, Solaray, Nature's Plus, KAL and Kyolic all make good quality fish oil supplements as well, in case you can find those closer to home (as opposed to online). I have taken most of these and they do not have a noticeable flavor or aftertaste. I think the Carlson liquid tasted good, actually, and have used it in a salad dressing.
