 Beware: Misleading Ad and Poor Customer Service Aug 19, 2010
By Michael
Be aware that this product is titled "180 softgels." However, the quantity in the title doesn't change no matter which quantity option you choose to purchase. So you can choose a quantity of "1" or a quantity of "60," but the title still says "180 softgels." When I viewed the item, the price displayed was the lower one. Since the quantities were confusing and title looked the same, I chose the lower price. When I received the product, I saw that it was "60 softgels" rather than "180 softgels" as stated in the title. When I informed The Vitamin Shoppe of the error, I was basically told it was mu fault and that I could return it at my own expense, in which case I would have paid for shipping both ways and still not have the product I wanted. I even offered to pay the difference and buy the larger bottle if they would pay for the return shipping of the mistake, but they refused.
I prefer to do business with companies that stand behind their products and correct their mistakes. The Vitamin Shoppe doesn't appear to do that. I recommend that you purchase the product elsewhere. There are other vendors on Amazon with lower prices.

 Helps lower my triglycerides Aug 01, 2010
By William L. Hembree
"Software Guy"
My physician's dietician recommended this particular brand of fish oil, in conjunction with the doctor's prescription of fenofibrate, to lower my spiking triglycerides and the combination worked very well.
My triglyceride levels have dropped over 500 points, down into the upper end of the normal range and well below any level I've tested at in the past 20 years. How much of the drop is due to the prescription fenofibrate and how much is due to the DHA supplement, I cannot say. I was told that DHA is helpful in lowering and that this brand of fish oil has the highest levels of DHA.
I take three capsules just before I go to bed every night and have not observed either of the side effects I was cautioned about - "fish burps" or upset stomach.
The usual cautions and disclaimers apply, of course. Your results may vary and don't take this (or any) supplement in place of seeing an appropriate health care professional to determine your best treatment for any health problems.

Excellent source of DHA!!!!! May 04, 2010
By Y. Dotson
You can't beat the price of this DHA! Plus for the price, it's slim picking for a pill with 500mg of DHA! I have no after-fish flavor. I use this as my prenatal source of DHA. QUALITY PRODUCT!

What a great price for this dose of DHA! Sep 29, 2009
By Jolie M. Root
"Nurse Nutritionist and Health Educator"
This is a really great product at a super low price. It has 500 mg DHA in each capsule. Most other products you have to take two or even four capsules to get this dose. That means this product is way less expensive than the others. DHA supports the brain, the eyes and of course the heart. This product also has 100 mg of EPA so it is a very potent capsule for the price..probably about half as expensive as the competition. What a great value for a contaminant free, mercury free DHA Omega 3 product. I started taking Carlson fish oils over twenty years ago because they are tested and are contaminant free. And they work. In my nutrition practice Carlson is the only brand of fish oils I ever recommend, because they are fresh, fully potent and contaminant free.
