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® Liquid Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Essential fatty acids (EFA's) 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 proper health, yet cannot produce them on it own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFA's play a part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to support 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. Omega-3 EFA's may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. A large percentage 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. Because omega-3 EFA's 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®'s Liquid Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFA's eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Liquid Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold-water fish that has undergone molecular distillation, ensuring high-level concentration and purity. It also has a great-tasting lemon flavor. While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, NSI® Liquid Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains a 902 mg of EPA and 598 mg of DHA per 1 teaspoon serving! Simply add to your favorite beverage, smoothie, yogurt or other snack for a healthy EFA boost! Keep bottle refrigerated after opening. NSI® Liquid Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. Delivers optimal amounts of omega-3 EFA's EPA and DHA in a small, half-teaspoon serving! Is an ideal way to obtain omega-3 EFA's without eating fish, or taking capsules. Special Bulk Savings.

"I have been taking a lemon-flavored, liquid fish oil that I purchase from a national food store chain. I thought this would be like it. This product, though, has such a strong fishy taste that it made me gag. I ended up throwing the whole bottle away."

On the plus side it probably has the right stuff, it's definitely a fish product."

"Since it is an oil, I drink a little juice to wash it down. It has a faint hint of lemon and no other discernable taste, so it's no problem to take. I feel healthier since I started taking it and will continue to do so. I have trouble swallowing pills, so this works for me."

"My son takes this stuff and he has to pinch his nose, pour it down his throat, and chase it with some food. I tasted it and the lemony flavor is good but once you get past that, the fish taste isn't the greatest. It's hard to say if the fish oil is effective b/c you can't see what it's doing to your body but overall I'm pleased with it. I think we'll have to stick with the pill form in the future."

"This is the only fish oil supplement I've taken that has contributed to a positive increase in mood. I have every reason to believe the product is effective.
Yes, the taste is very fishy, so you probably do want to stay away if this bothers you. I found that gargling a bit of mouthwash right after taking this washes the fishy taste away (which is part of my morning routine anyway)."

"I have to say, I had high hopes that such a small amount (1tsp serving size), along with the lemon flavor, would make the EFAs go unnoticed... but I am very sad to say that my usually delicious 12 oz. blueberry & protien shake tastes more like tuna fish and flax than like blueberries. YUCK! I think I will stick with EFA capsules from now on. :("

"I've tried taking plain cod liver oil and couldn't stomach it at all. The lemon flavoring in this formula masks the fish taste just enough that I can swallow it, and the smaller serving size helps too. I do have to follow it with something that has some flavor to get the taste out of my mouth (not a spoonful of sugar!). However the advantages of getting these nutrients into my system without taking dozens of pills in liquid form so they are absorbed better far outweighs any momentary unpleasantness. Good job NSI!"
