which fish oil?

[joseph0605]

I'm planning to get fish oil supp.
Which fish oil brand do you guys recommend?
I have heard ON's is pretty good, but I would like to get more options

Thanks in advance for your help

Controlled labs Oximega fish oil is my favorite,when I dont have the funds I just use wal mart brand.

Look at the EPA/DHA content of your fish oil. Fish oil in and of itself isn't necessarily good for you, it's those two specific fatty acids. You want between 2000-3000mg (that's 2-3g) of EPA and DHA combined per day.

If you want that without taking 6-10 capsules and without fear of people not putting as much product as they say they are, check out SAN 3x Fish Fats.

Oximega is one of your best bets.

High EPA/DHA and third party tested for purity

[Montourage]

There are quite a few choices as surely you noticed. I'd get the higher potency stuff with around 700mg's of EPA/DHA per gram/pill. The lower end stuff is around 300mg's per pill meaning you have to take twice as much to get the same benefit. NOW is one of the better values when it comes to supplements.

I use Bodybuilding.com Fish Oil from the Foundation Series > http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bo.../fish-oil.html

[Vitruvian]

Go with liquid over caps. Almost always more actives per servings and more servings per bottle. I prefer Barlean's.

Dat taste doe

I myself take Ultra Omega-3 by NOW, you have to dose more pills than you'd probably like to hit the amount of EPA/DHA you ACTUALLY need but its affordable and NOW's quality is consistently top notch imo.

good quality oil has virtually no smell and no taste. Barleans makes some that actually taste delicious.

I am a huge fan of Optimum Nutrition so naturally, I use their fish oil. Good price and quality.

[SoftballNerd]

all of the above suggestions are good.... may I throw this one into the mix?

[cjwav34]

NOW Ultra Omega or
Controlled Labs Oximega


I use Ultra Omega and IMO it is the best value.

What do you get besides ripped off?

For less than half the price, @120 pills, you can pick up cl oximega, San fish fats, axis citrus omega or BB.com fish oils. All of which have even more EPA/DHA.

I'm currently using Nutrigold Krill oil, but I'm thinking about trying Nordic Naturals on my next refill.

1200 combined epa/dha per 2 capsules




877 combined epa/dha per capsule

I'm very happy with my Source naturals omega-3. 850 mg omega 3 per soft gel and no fishy burps or anything. There's quite a few quality choices out there though

[gavio3]

Right now MusclePharm is having a sale on fish oil buy 2 get 1 free, unfortunately its out of stock right now. The fish oil is pretty high quality as well along with its amazing deal

[jcpeyton]

So speaking from personal experience, I prefer to take fish oil that is labeled either enteric coated or burpless. Otherwise, if I do happen to burp it's not pleasant. FYI, I'm sure everyone is different in this regard but that's what I look for over any specific brand.

Store your fish oil in the freezer. That will help immensely with alleviating possible fish burps.

NOW is your best bang for the buck. Never been disappointed with them.

to each his own, but:

1) nordic naturals offers [re-attached] natural triglyceride form (vs. the cheaper ethyl ester)
2) very transparent company that provides information about the source and processing methods and 3rd party purity & oxidation level of every batch to consumers
3) meets the strictest standards in purity/oxidation levels and are always among the lowest (check out IFOS)

also,
NN ultimate omega = 60% EPA/DHA
Oximega = 60%
SAN = 65%
BB.com = 30%

and natural triglyceride form will tend to have higher bioavailability vs. ethyl ester.

I'll second liquid over caps as well. My preferred brands are Nordic Naturals or Ascenta.
