"My Dr. recommended Carlson Brand to me. It is the only fish oil I've ever tried...but I've passed the recommendation to many others because there is no fishy after taste. It has had a wonderful effect on my blood work numbers! My skin is smoother. Fish Oil is one of the primary MUST HAVE supplements...so why not get THE BEST!"

"I ordered these instead of Nordic Naturals. I was worried about the fishy taste some people have reported. I have had no fishy problems, and they've left me feeling just as well as the Nordic Naturals. I'm really happy to have found an adequate soy-free substitute!"

"I started buying Carlson Omega-3 fish oil capsules at the recommendation of a nutritionist who observed that the company is a well-known, established, and highly respected one. I have tried many brands but now I only buy Carlson. The fish oil is pure. You can trust this company. I highly recommend this product. It may cost more than some others, but the peace of mind is worth it for me!"

"I read some of the other reviews saying that these had a fishy taste..NO they don't. Unless your poking holes in the softgels, your not going to taste fish. I am extremely sensitive to anything nasty tasting! I'm picky.. this doesn't have the slightest fishy taste. I am going to repurchase."

"I have tried many different types, forms and varieties and Carlson's simply works better than any other one I've tried. And yes the soy being added to some of these make them poisonous.

There are no after burps, stomach issues or other problems I have gotten with others. It works the right way consistently and for the price, how can you go wrong?"

"I don't think this product needs a review. Well known, high quality, very purrified (almost no smell). I drink it everyday. One tip for those, who cannot digest it easily. I take it at the middle of a meal with little water (not a full glass), since water dillute stomach juice."

"Very good supplement, my husband and I tried quite a few brands and like this one most and like the value of it, too. However, due to the lack of orange/lemon flavor additives it definitely has a fishy burp. I find that taking it in the beginning of a meal definitely helps minimize that."

"I wanted a fish oil that was mercury free and as pure as possible. This brand seems to fit the bill. It definitely repeats on my husband and I (some people recommend freezing the capsules and taking them frozen - it doesn't seem to work for us), but we feel the health benefits outweigh the fishy taste."

"I had very limited movement in my right arm and shoulder and had a lot of pain for about 6 months. A lady at work said she had a similar problem and she took Carlson Omega-3 Fish Oils and she got full movement back. I thought how is fish oil going to help, but I started taking Omega-3 fish oil and within weeks the pain went away and I got my full movement back. I have been taking Carlson's Omega-3 for over two years now. After my shoulder/arm problem went away I reduced the amount I take, but I will be taking this for as long as I live."
