Product Description

VitaMedica's Super EPA/DHA Fish Oil provides one of the highest levels of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) currently available in a fish oil supplement. While EPA is beneficial for cardiovascular health, DHA helps to support brain function. Both nutrients are also important for overall health, wellness and healthy-looking skin. As Omega-3 fats, both EPA and DHA promote the development of favorable prostaglandins, which reduce body inflammation. Although our bodies are able to convert alpha-linolenic acid to EPA and DHA, our ability to form these important compounds is limited. In particular, EPA and DHA have been increasingly documented to benefit cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol, making the blood less sticky, and decreasing the incidence of abnormal heart rhythms. This is an important consideration given that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer for both men and women in this country. In general, it would be best to obtain the important Omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies require, from foods. However, for many individuals who dislike seafood this can be problematic because it would be necessary to eat cold water, fatty fish, such as salmon, on a frequent basis. Also, because of concerns about ocean pollution and farm-raised fish having lower levels of Omega-3s, supplementation with VitaMedica's Super EPA/DHA Fish Oil is an excellent alternative. VitaMedica's product begins with fish oil that is molecularly distilled and ultra-refined to produce a pharmaceutical-grade product that is devoid of any "fishy" aftertaste.

Compared to all the other omega-3 products I tried so far, this is by far the best in terms of smell. I have been buying this on a regular basis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big pills, but big dosage, September 5, 2008

I bought these for the EPA and DHA content. Most fish oil pills have very small amounts and I would need five, six or even nine pills a day for the dosage recommended by my doctor. These only require three a day and, though they are more expensive than other fish oil pills, they actually saved me money over other smaller and cheaper pills, because I don't have to take as many. Less hassle too, though they may be tough for people who can't swallow large capsules.
