Vitacost Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA Fish Oil -- 2126 mg per serving - 240 Softgels

Premium-quality purified fish oil softgels provide an optimum ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA. Ideal way to increase omega-3 consumption without having to eat more fish!   What is Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA? Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is a premium-quality purified fish oil supplement delivering high elemental levels of two of the most-studied omega-3 essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA.  . Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the body and must be obtained through diet. Fatty fish such as cod tuna and salmon are the best source but they can also be found in some plant sources and in flaxseed walnuts and soybeans. Most people do not eat enough of these foods however to obtain optimal amounts of omega-3 nutrients. In this case taking a supplement such as Vitacost Mega EFA may be beneficial.  . Unlike other low-cost low-grade fish oil supplements which may contain traces of dioxin mercury PCBs and other environmental contaminants Vitacost Mega EFA has been molecularly distilled to guarantee the freshest purest product. Mega EFA also contains a higher milligram-per-serving amount of omega-3 fatty acids than other brands with 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA in each two-softgel serving.  . How does Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA support health? EPA and DHA are well known for their cardioprotective properties their ability to maintain healthy cognitive function their potential to support healthy moods and their positive impact on joint comfort and flexibility*. Higher blood levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA are associated with a healthier mood*. Why choose Vitacost Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA? Provides higher milligram-per-serving amount than other fish oil supplements (EPA = 800 mg and DHA = 400 mg—in each two-softgel serving). Easy-to-swallow softgels with pleasant strawberry flavor. Molecularly distilled to ensure mercury dioxins and PCB levels are well below industry standards. An economical and convenient way to meet the American Heart Association’s recommendation to increase daily omega-3 fatty acid consumption. Contains 120 servings per bottle. Exceptional quality at an extraordinary value. About Vitacost. Vitacost nutritional products are manufactured to high standards of quality efficacy and safety.

"Number one Fish Oil based on quality and price, per independent vitamin and supplement review agency as featured on the Dr. OZ show. I looked this up on the list and the reviews were excellent, they said great quality and lowest price, beats COSTCO brand, so I feel good about taking it."

"I was slowly switching over to vitacost products and am always hesitant with fish oils. I was amazed at this product! They go down easily, the subtle strawberry flavoring is noticeable when taking them. The best part, no fishy burps!! A great product at a great price. Comparable to more expensive brands on content and quality!!"

"I love this product--the dosage is excellent, and had tried others that gave you after taste, this one does not at all. The price is great too.
I would tell anyone who needs to get omega 3 into your system, give this one a try.

Fantastic!
 April 28, 2013
"Definitely the most bang for your buck. I researched a bunch of options before settling on this one and from the label, you can see that this gives you the most Omega 3s without giving you other stuff you don't want. I take four of these before bed each night and they go down easily. I still burp it up but not nearly as much as I used to with other brands, and the taste of the burps isn't anywhere near as bad. Would definitely recommend."

One of the best omega-3 products
 April 26, 2013
"At the moment this is absolutely my favorite omega-3 product. Product has correct DHA/EPA ratio and high potency. Quality is excellent and it has been confirmed by Consumerlab's test. For this price you probably can't find better omega-3 product and Consumerlab also stated that this product has best bang for your buck."
