Excellent product, no acid reflux!
I've been on the hunt for omega-3 products that don't give me acid reflux, and I've tried just about everything on the market now (even the high-end brands). This is one of the only ones that doesn't give me severe acid reflux--even algae oil from Sports Research did (although it was mild compared to what fish oil does to me). This one and Nordic Naturals fish oil are the only ones that don't really bother me, but even their fish oil (even out of the freezer) gives me MINOR acid reflux, although it's brief.I took 4 pills of this at one time because that's the equivalent of 1-2 pills in regular fish oil brands. Which means this isn't really cost effective long term, so I probably can't afford to stick with this to actually get the 2-3 grams of recommended omega-3. BUT it works.So if you're like me and have a sensitive stomach and get bad acid reflux from any sort of fish or algae oil, give this one a try. It worked for me, no negative consequences! Plus, it didn't stink and didn't taste bad at all. I had no issues popping 4 of these in one go! I recommend them!

THE sustainable alternative to fish oil
I really can't tell whether this stuff does any good, but scientific theory says that it should. DHA and EPA are the starting materials for anti-inflammatory hormones called resolvins. A recent study reports that fish oil supplements (containing DHA and EPA) help prevent asthma attacks (and, logically, should help prevent other inflammatory maladies). BUT fish oil is extracted from fish, usually those at the bottom of the food chain that are "not economically important." They're not??? They support all of the other, larger fish in the ocean, and are tremendously important! The fish oil industry should be banned outright in order to save the oceans.As it turns out, EPA and DHA aren't made by fish. They're made by microalgae that start the food chain. All of the fish rely on this source, and tenaciously hold onto whatever EPA and DHA they consume. That's why "fatty fish" like salmon are recommended as a good source of omga-3's, of which EPA and DHA are the most important. BUT: we don't have to kill the fish! As Nordic Naturals has done with this product, but not their others, one can grow the algae in bio-reactors on land, and extract the oils from them directly. It's not only sustainable, but the microalgae are a CO2 sink!NOTE: the omega-3 in flax oil is not EPA or DHA, it's linolenic acid. To be functional, it must be converted into EPA and DHA, BUT humans can't do that conversion EXCEPT during pregnancy/lactation and during fetal development and nursing. If we have a good source of linolenic acid as adults, we can ensure that our children get the necessary DHA and EPA -- not only for anti-inflammatory hormones, but also, and primarily, for their retinas and neurons. In the good old days, we got our linolenic acid from meat, because our animals were grass-fed, and leaves (including grass) are rich in linolenic acid. Now, with feedlots and grain-fed meat, we are woefully deficient in these essential fatty acids.I apologize for the lecture, but I believe that this is really important on many levels.

High quality and fish-free
I wanted to find an alternative source of Omega-3s, as well as EPA and DHA, due to their benefits to our bodies. I was happy to find this product and try it out. I loved having this vitamin, as I could feel the difference. The flavor is very good, and they are easy to swallow with a beverage due to their small size. The gel capsule is very high quality, and I was very pleased with them. The bottle is expensive, even more so since I last purchased it, but it does last for a while when taking one a day. If you can comfortably try it out, I recommend it. I plan to return to this product again in the future.Thanks for reading! I hope this is helpful.

No Unpleasant Fish Burps
Good product and doesn't induce fish burps known to accompany fish-derived Omega 3 supplements. It would be nice if the pill shape was more like a standard oblong capsule shape. These pills are on the small-ish side, almost like a rounded football shape, and they can get lodged more easily in the throat IMO.

Vegan Omegas
I’ve been using these vitamins for years and I like them. They pack a lot of omega fatty acids into a pill that does not have animal products. There is no taste and virtually no smell, and they are easy to swallow.
