Nordic NaturalsAlgae Omega - 120 Soft Gels - 715 mg Omega-3 - Certified Vegan Algae Oil - Plant-Based EPA & DHA - Heart, Eye, Immune & Brain Health - Non-GMO - 60 Servings

good plant based source of omega 3s. no burping aftertaste at all. I take with food but that is how I need to do any pills I take

Very good vitamins. Does not upset my stomach. Definitely has helped my dry eye. There is no taste or after taste at all.They are also not too large, so easy to swallow. Very happy with my purchase.

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!

This is one of a few different Omega 3 supplements I purchased recently. This and the one by Amala Vegan were the only ones allegedly sourced from Algae, so those are the two I'm going to be comparing for this review.So this one, the dose size is 2 pills. The pills are about half an inch long and a little more then a quarter of an inch wide, which is slightly larger then Amala's, but I swallowed both of them at the same time without any difficulty. These, when I opened them up, they smell like seaweed and they taste like kelp on my tongue. Which I thought was a huge improvement over Amala's, which smelled like fish and tasted like Tuna. And since I wasn't always the vegetarian I am today, I find that very interesting. And at this point, I'm planning on passing Amala's off to my hubby, who is not a vegetarian, and won't really care about the taste or...whatever may be causing the differences in taste.The dose of omega 3's is higher in these, which is good, but it is still below all of the therapeutic uses for Omega 3. So if you are using this for anything other then a dietary supplement, like say for depression, or cancer, or whatever....it's really a rather long list of things Omega 3/6 supplementation can benefit actually...Mayo clinic's website has a great rundown of the conditions and the doses, and you can up the number of pills on these accordingly. Of course, that will get pricey. For depression, you'd need to take about 4 of these pills a day. Taking more on these is an option because it doesn't have vitamin E in it, which is something Amala does add to theirs, and because vitamin E has some harmful side effects if you exceed the recommended daily allowance, medically it's not really safe to take multiple doses of their product to get the omegas up to a therapeutic level, so that's one that I recommend you just take if you need supplemental omegas in your diet.My one note of caution on these is for pregnant women. These have Rosemary extract in them, so if you are pregnant, or planning on becoming so, this isn't something you should be using because there is a possibility it can stimulate your uterus and lead to miscarriage. That applies to anything oral with rosemary extract actually. So just an FYI. But if you're not pregnant, I don't see any reason why these wouldn't work well for you. I'm not experiencing any unpleasant aftertaste like I was yesterday with Amala's, so I think these are generally pretty non-offensive, and this company has an established track record in the supplement industry. If you don't want to taste seaweed, or want something that will be cheaper for a therapeutic dose, you could try flax oil supplements...that's what's up next on my to-be-tried list...Best of luck to you :)

Great product

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.

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.
