NSI Mega EFA® 2 Omega-3 EPA & DHA -- 2126 mg - 240 Mini Gels

NSI Mega EFA® 2 Omega-3 EPA & DHA -- 2126 mg - 240 Mini Gels

Superior source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA & DHA! Same as NSI® Mega EFA, but now in two, easy-to-swallow, smaller capsules! Highly Concentrated EPA and DHA  .  Nutraceutical Sciences Institute offers the largest selection of pure and great tasting omega oils and softgels - Pharmaceutical Grade - Molecularly Distilled with high elemental levels of Omega-3 EPA & DHA, and are purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities, including PCBs and heavy metals. All Nutraceutical Sciences Institute products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is lab tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels. How Does NSI® Mega EFA2 Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated "good" fats found in oil from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They're classified as "essential" because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on it own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They're believed to reduce the "stickiness" of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection. Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one's lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior. Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they're also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per two-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold-water sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America, where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated. Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-Verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality. NSI® Mega EFA2 Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFA's, EPA and DHA, together in two easy-to-take capsules. Is derived from high-quality, molecularly-distilled fish oil, not fish liver oil.  .  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"The Omega-3 mini gels aren't really mini, they are just a little bigger than a tylenol gelcap, but they are a lot easier to swallow than the regular huge ones. Since it is easy, now I take them all the time. It takes 4 to make one dose because of the smaller size."

"I have gotten this product for a long time, but since they changed the size and taste, I do not care for it like I did the other. Before the change, the capsules were larger and you only had to take 2 and now you have to take 4...thus making the bottle be used twice as fast. The other thing is that the taste now is fishy as opposed to the cotton candy tasting ones before."

"I was taking the NSI Mega EFA product in the larger pill size and was a definite fan of the quality and value offered by the product. However, I wanted my entire family to get the benefits of a high-quality Omega-3 fatty acid supplement. The smaller size of the NSI Mega EFA 2 product fit the bill. Now, my young children swallow the softgel easily as part of their daily supplement routine. I recommend taking the product right before a meal to minimize any fish burps by "burying" the fish oil. I have found that even when taking this product after a meal, fish burps are minimized as the fish smell/taste is less pronounced than with other products."

"I have experienced some heartburn after taking these, however if you take them after a meal you probably won't have heartburn. Even with the heartburn they still won't give you that horrible fishy taste. The small pill size makes them very easy to swallow compared to many of the others on the market. I believe it is an exellent supplement for many areas of ones health supported by scientific research."

"I purchased these caps because they are advertized as small....easy to swallow. While they are smaller than some fish oil caps Ive tried, they are still large. They are about the size of an "ordinary" capsule. They do have a nice smooth coating on the outside that lets you swallow them a bit easier.
Since I have to eat 4 of these for the same benefit as 2 regular caps, Im not sure they are worth the effort and extra cost."
