My family joined a nutrition business when I was 4 years old. Supplements, cleaning products, protein shakes, you name it, it's always been a part of my life. So, fish oil supplements are not new to us. In this house, we all know what a "fish burp" tastes like, and it's not something you look forward to!
I gave these to my father to try as it has soy in it, and soy can mess with female hormones. My father is a type II diabetic. He also high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and dementia. He hasn't been taking any fish oil supplement for some time, as I've been giving him chia seeds and ground flax seeds instead. I test his blood 4x's a day, and after running out of chia and flax seeds, his blood started to clot too much, and he was having to squeeze his finger to get enough blood for his glucose readings. The next morning, he had plenty of blood upon the lancet pricking him, no need to squeeze! That is a visual sign of it having a positive benefit in his body as it is a natural blood thinner. :)
They are a bit large, but he doesn't have any issues swallowing them at all. I think gel capsules make it a lot easier to take this size of a pill than a large, hard tablet. They seem to go down easier......they just float away. He likes the lemony flavor of them, and says there are no fish taste, or "fish burps" at all with these. We'll have to see if it helps his triglycerides and cholesterol after he gets some blood work done in a few months.
One of the best things I personally like about this product, is that it is Non-GMO. It's extremely important to me that it is not a genetically modified product. I don't want my family, friends or anyone else to be a lab rat for those companies! So, thank you Quality Encapsulations for having a non-GMO product!
The label says to take 2 a day, and that is a 30 day supply with this 60 capsule bottle.
The "other" ingredients which is a bit hard to read in the photo says:
Highly refined Omega-3 Fish Oil (Anchovies, Mackerel, Sardines), Capsule (gelatin glycerin, purified water and natural lemon flavoring), and Antioxidant (mixed natural tocopherols (soy)).

Dr. Mercola has a few articles on his site about fish oil, but this one in particular is quite amazing about a boy who his parents were told to "let go" after a severe brain injury following a hit and run car accident. The doctors gave no hope for recovery. After taking 20 grams of fish oil for 2 days he called his mom! Read about the story here.
If you are interested in trying a fish oil supplement, you might want to give this brand a try and see how you like it. If you click on the image, it is my Amazon affiliate link which will take you to the supplement's page on Amazon. At the time of this writing, the 180 capsule is the best buy in comparison to the 60 caps. I was given this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and words are my own.
