KIRKLANDSignature Fish Oil Concentrate with Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 400 Softgels, 1000mg

Just a note that Costco in my area has this on sale for $6.99. Natural TAG and I called the vitamin hot line and they said it was made in the USA. Make sure that you get the Natural version and not the Enteric product because it is the ethyl ester and will not get into your systemic circulation (blood) as efficient as the TAG product that is of lower concentration. Also be aware that it has the USP seal. "USP is a scientific nonprofit organization that establishes federally recognized standards for the quality of drugs, dietary supplements, and foods. It is the only such organization that also offers voluntary verification services to help ensure dietary supplement quality, purity, and potency. USP standards are used in more than 140 countries and are federally recognized per the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act."My bottle of Kirkland Natural (not the enteric, ethyl ester) with lot number 395187-01 Exp. 11/216, each capsule weighs 1.53025 g with dimensions length of 24.50 mm and diameter 10.09 mm supplies 1.04088 grams of TAG fish oil. See my consumer supplied image for size relative to a US penny.American Heart Association (AHA) Recommendation from [...]"We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 oz. cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Enjoy fish baked or grilled, not fried."This amounts to for salmon 2,566 - 4,434 mg twice a week or 367-mg to 633-mg daily. Salmon is expensive ($8.99/lb in my area) and is one of the oily fish that supplies the most omega-3s per mass of fish. Some consumers can't afford salmon or other fish and maybe left out of the Inuit effect and have compromised benefits of protecting the heart and blood vessels from disease. It is my opinion that taking two of these Kirkland Natural fish oil supplements may provide the same dose as eating salmon twice a week but at an affordable price. Two Kirkland Natural softgels will provide 600 mg of omega-3 daily that is recommended by AHA for those without heart disease. This may reduce your health care cost by the statements on fish oil bottles that are approved statement by the FDA that says "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."Bottom line, AHA recommended dose for those who can't afford the price the rich pay to get cardioprotection. Just 5 cents a day for "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." seems like a no-brainer to me.Pixe

Good price, good quality product, no fishy aftertaste.I got this to take with prohormones.400 servings at 1,000mg ea. this is a great buy.Fish oil is a common term used to refer to two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fats are usually found in fish, animal products and phytoplankton. Fish oil is recommended as a source of these omega-3 fats as they are the cheapest and most common source of them.Fish oil provides a variety of benefits when supplemented, particularly when the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body is almost equal (1:1). The average diet (red meat, eggs, and so forth) are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which is why fish oil is recommended (to balance the ratio).A ratio of roughly 1:1 is associated with healthier blood vessels, a lower lipid count and a reduced risk for plaque buildup. Fish oil can also decrease the risk of diabetes and several forms of cancer, including breast cancer.Fish oil works primarily through eicosanoids, which are signalling molecules. A proper ratio of omega 3:6 fatty acids will influence which eicosanoids are released in response to stress.It should be noted that fish oil can also reduce triglycerides in people with high triglyceride levels. However, it can also increase cholesterol, so care should be taken before supplementing fish oil for this purpose.Follow this Page for updatesThings to KnowAlso Known AsEicosapentaenoic Acid, EPA, Docosahexaenoic Acid, DHA, Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-3, Omega 3, N-3 Fatty AcidsDo Not Confuse WithAlpha-Linolenic Acid (the plant-based omega-3)Things to NoteThough fish oil is not a stimulant, it increases brain activity, so a stimulatory effect may be felt after supplementationMost of fish oil's beneficial effects happen over a period of days and weeks, rather than immediatelyPost-supplementation "fish burps" can be avoided by consuming fish oil with food, or freezing the capsules before supplementation

The media could not be loaded. There are 400 tablets in this big bottle, and so it's an awesome deal. This fish oil worked for me, mostly as an appetite suppressant. Your body needs oils, and if you don't get enough oils, then eventually you won't be able to control your hunger urges, and most of the time you'll crave desserts and stuff yourself on things that make you gain a lot of weight. Well, that's what happens for me.So I lost a lot of weight by making sure I had a few fish oil tablets every day, and then I was able to cut back on the rest of my food without getting insatiable cravingsI started being a fan of fish oil, because my favorite psychic in New Orleans, Alobar, always recommends fish oil on his blog.It also has tons of other benefits. And, if you want to reduce the fishy aftertaste, just drink two full glasses of water with this, and you won't have any aftertaste.Benefits:*Slows the aging process by lengthening telemeres*Heart benefits*Works as an appetite suppressant*Helps reduce high triglycerides and cholesterol*Helps with high blood pressure*Reduces asthma symptoms*Helps with kidney problems*Strengthens bonesPros:+Not too much of a fishy aftertaste, but make sure you drink a couple glasses of water afterwards+Very economicalCons:-Very large container, that takes up a bunch of room on your shelf
