This is a Winner, if you're Cholesterol Concerned you Need itMar 05, 2006
By Eric
"Me Like Amazon"
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.

How to take liquid fish oil...Mar 14, 2006
By M. Barton 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.

the most effective healing agent on the marketNov 10, 2006
By S. Scott 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.

finest fish oilMar 21, 2006
By Scott Magargal My wife began taking fish oil while she was pregnant. Pregnancy and lactation reduce the amount of DHA and EPA available to the mother as the body taps them for the baby's brain development. This was implicated in things like post-natal depression and greater availability of these amino acids can also be beneficial to the baby. Fish oil may also help improve HDL/LDL ratios in people trying to improve their cholesterol, even when over-all cholesterol levels are low.
We started with another brand but switched to Carlson's after my annual check-up and a conversation with my doctor. Carlson's has more high quality DHA and EPA than other brands we researched and Carlson's guarantees the screening of their fish oils for contaminants. It also tastes a lot better than any other brand we tried.

One of the best sources for essential Omega-3Aug 15, 2006
By calvinnme Americans consume a dangerously insufficient amount of Omega-3, which is a fat essential to good health but only found in fish oil and a few other foods. However, our intake of Omega-6, which is a fat found in corn, soy, sunflower and other oils, is too high. The ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be 1:1, but the typical American's ratio ranges greater than 20 to 1.
Omega-3 oils are essential to good glucose tolerance, and you need to remember that the worst fat of all is abundant in American diets - trans-fatty acids. Cells cannot get glucose or vitamin C inside when those cell walls are made by DuPont!
While Omega-3 can also be found in flaxseed, walnuts and a few other foods, the most beneficial form of Omega-3 - containing two fatty acids, DHA and EPA, that are essential to fighting and preventing both physical and mental disease - can only be found in fish. Unfortunately, fish often contains harmful mercury and other toxins, making it unsafe to consume in large quantities. Fish of all varieties from all water sources are now showing dangerously high levels of the tasteless but highly toxic metal, mercury.
Carlson's fish oil is one of the few brands that includes extra vitamin E, so you don't have to take extra vitamin E if you don't want to. Finally, I really appreciate its lemony taste as opposed to the strong fish taste you get in other fish oils. I highly recommend it.
