New Chapter Wholemega Fish Oil Supplement - 2000mg per Serving, Clinically Proven Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil with Omega-3 + Vitamin D3 + Astaxanthin, 120 SoftgelsCarbonfree Certified

This supplement is good for people who do NOT get enough nuts, greens, and fish on a daily basis.Wholemega is not a substitute for Omega 3 supplements that provide higher amounts of EPA and DHA.These capsules are a bit of a challenge to swallow (I recommend something thick like Slimfast or V8) and can give a bit of a fishy aftertaste.I take both the Wholemega and Omega 3 supplements daily (for a total of 2 grams of Omega oils) but have to watch for low blood pressure and excessive bleeding because I already eat a diet high in salmon, nuts, and greens.I've only taken the Wholemega for a couple of weeks but the most obvious changes from five years of Omega 3 supplements have been thicker hair growth and fewer problems with osteoarthritis. My heart is healthy and my vision and memory haven't gotten any worse but the supplements haven't prevented recurring skin cancers.Nutrition Action has a great article online titled "Omega Medicine? - Is fish oil good for what ails you?" Here's their bottom line:So far, there's decent evidence that DHA and EPA--the omega-3 fats in fish oil--can reduce your risk of a heart attack, but not your risk of cancer, memory loss, or macular degeneration.- Eat fatty fish like salmon twice a week. That would supply 500 to 1,000 mg a day of DHA plus EPA.- If you're a vegetarian, look for foods or supplements with DHA from algal oil.- If you have heart disease, follow the American Heart Association's advice to take 1,000 mg a day of DHA + EPA from fish oil. If you have side effects like burping, take them at bedtime or ask your doctor for a prescription for pure fish oil.- Taking more than 3,000 mg a day of DHA plus EPA may cause bleeding.Addendum: After 10 years of taking 2 to 3 grams of omega three daily, I've developed Afib. Research suggests that taking high dosages of EPA might be a preciptating factor of Afib (search NIH database). I'm switching to a version that is higher in DHA.2015 Addendum: I switched to Now Foods DHA-500 and the Afib has been under control for two years. I still take an additional 2 grams of whatever omega 3 Costco has on sale.2016 Addendum: Prompted by comments to this post, I again reviewed scientific research of the effect of omega 3 oils on AFIB and found lots of conflicting results and conclusions. A 2008 meta-analysis of 12 controlled studies "...showed that fish oil supplementation did not have a significant effect on arrhythmias and all-cause mortality." clinicalcorrelations.org/?p=8650.

No fish burps as others have reported. After taking these for a week, solid product at a good value.

I take a large dose of fish oil daily per my doctor's recommendation as part of longterm treatment for a brain injury. Have been doing so for about 10 mo ths now. I think most supplements are ultimately made the same and probably don't vary a lot between brands in effectiveness, but I can say for sure this is quality fish oil. Several major life-impairing neuro symptoms have improved to the point that I no longer need occupational therapy for them.The capsules are the usual size for fish oil and might be a little hard to swallow if you have trouble with big pills. New Chapter also makes a smaller size of these capsules, which is nice.

*** I WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR THIS REVIEW. I exchanged my currency for these goods. ***Ok, I love this stuff. It's really pure fish oil, and for those of us who are settling into middle age but hate the high cholesterol and perpetual inflammation ... your choices are either "eat lots of flax and salmon" or "take fish oil". Or, I suppose, both?Anyway, my big problems with fish oil are multifold:1. Fishy burps.2. Heartburn.3. Potentially low quality oil with lots of unhealthy stuff in it.4. High price if it's good quality.5. Lots of junk fish in there, resulting in oil that has the required Omega-3's but not much else.6. If you forget to take them and leave them in your pocket all day and they go through the wash, you will never wear that pair of pants again. Ever. Unless you are attending a sardine packing convention.So this stuff is normally kind of pricey, but not as pricey as other high quality, high potency oils. And in this larger pack it was quite a good bargain.1. Not very much in the way of fishy burps.2. Heartburn is minimized.3. High quality wild salmon with low filler and no bad chemicals.4. The entire omega profile, not just basic Omega-3.5. If it explodes in your pocket, your pants will still reek... but they will reek like herbs. So instead of everyone thinking you spilled sardines on yourself, they will think you work in an Italian kitchen.Most of these are due to the high quality fish used, and the stabilizing solution which is comprised of Oregano and Rosemary oils.

I like these fish oil supplements. Will definitely keep using. Easy to swallow and I've noticed some slight energy increase. They do leave a bit of a fish aftertaste, but not as bad as other fish oils I've taken.

I felt the difference after 10 days of use. My joint pain is reduced and I feel good energy.

No after taste or side effects.
