5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Winner, if you're Cholesterol Concerned you Need it, March 4, 2006

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to take liquid fish oil..., March 14, 2006

Fish oil capsules cause me to have fish oil after-burps (yuck!), which make me avoid taking fish oil at all. I prefer Carlson's fish oil, but only because I learned the trick of how to swallow a teaspoon of it without gagging.

Have a glass of water or juice handy. Measure out your teaspoon of oil in a tablespoon sized spoon, so you have less chance of spilling it. Take the teaspoon of fish oil in to your mouth,let it gather under your tongue, but do not swallow it until you take your glass of water and wash it down. I take the fish oil before I eat breakfast. No fish burps later. You can do it. It is worth it.

The lemon flavor only partially masks the fishiness of the oil, but it is better than pure fish smell. I think Carlson's fish oil is an excellent product, pure and fresh.

Fish Oil: I love it. I'm happily benefiting from one of the truly great all time, American deficient, foods -- Omega 3 Fish Oil. It is truly a wonderful food; skin, inflammation, mental function, depression and the list goes on. I finished my first bottle and orderd three more. It makes a huge difference in my skin. I'm sure it's doing more great things for me, but it's so exciting to see and feel results too. I've always had keratosis pilaris (also affectionately known as "chicken skin") on my upper arms. I've tried lotions and scrubbing for years, but the fish oil is the only thing that has made a visible difference. I don't break out as much on my face either. And, for years I've been someone who breaks out with random skin rashes - usually on my neck and back - without good reason. Dr.s have perscribed topical creams that act as a panacea for everything that comes up. But the redness is always there beneath the surface. It actually looks like the redness is gone since using Carlson's. This fish oil is so great. You've got me hooked for sure.
