Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega, Lemon Flavor - 180 Soft Gels - 1280 mg Omega-3 - High-Potency Omega-3 Fish Oil with EPA & DHA - Promotes Brain & Heart Health - Non-GMO - 90 Servings

It is hard to convey in words how much Nordic Naturals have helped my health in the past 14 years that I have been using them. The most important reason I spend $50+ USD on these supplements verses $6 USD on no-name fish pills is the strict oil quality reached through constant testing by Nordic Naturals. I feel confident that I am supplementing with healthy fish oil without heavy metals and/or toxins. There are plenty of online searches you can perform to find why Omega-3 fatty acids are great for our health so I can keep this review short. Back in the year 2006, I was encouraged by a nutritionist to take these to help with sport performance, endurance, muscle development & recovery. Within a short few months I discovered that these not only aided me in sports activities, but also eye health, skin texture, finger nail & nail bed improvement, elimination of joint pain, change in eye colour (your eye colour becomes more intense within a month and the whites of your eyes clearer), your hair texture improves, your ability to focus for extended periods of time improves, your blood sugar is more balanced throughout the day, memory improves (literally our memories are built with fatty acids & electrochemical pulses), average resting heart rate reduces, food cravings vanish, and your whole body relaxes, sleep becomes more restful, and sex more enjoyable. I could go on, but you get the point, these are more than useful; these even work well for animals with arthritic joints (research the dosage for your pet if you so choose). Lastly, since Omega-3 fish pills have a slight blood thinning effect, add them to your medication list when you are speaking with your medical providers. Also, if you are already on blood thinning medication OR if you are a petite human, note that increased bruising might occur and you may need to customize the dosage. If you are on a blood thinner, your doctor might reduce and eventually remove the blood thinner prescription as long as you are consistent about taking Nordic Naturals Omega-3s. When/If you ever stop supplementing these Ultimate Omega-3s to evaluate whether they are truly working, you will notice within approximately 7-to-10 days that your mood feels off, joint pain will return, and the whole list of issues from above returns. We truly are what we eat. These Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega-3s are worth every penny and it is exciting that you are about to discover what I did so many years ago.

I’m on a low fat vegetarian diet. We use Nordic Naturals to supplement our Omega intake. We’ve been using this brand for several years and it is the most effective we’ve ever found.

I started taking this fish oil without any diet but walking every day and doing yoga, I was 55, 148 pounds. Then I got my blood work done in September 2022, my lipid panel was all out of range, as well as my A1C. I started a healthy diet on September 2022, walking every day, doing yoga and add a citrus bergamot supplement for 3 months. I lost 10 pounds, now I am back to my regular weight of 138 pound. I am on my fifties. My total cholesterol went down by 6%, but still is out of range (243) My triglycerides went down by 40% now back into normal range (142), my A1C went down from 6 to 5.6 into normal range. I do not see changes in my blood work by just taking this fish oil. It is the best Ive tried because it is easy to swallow, no after taste or burps. It is on the expensive category. I cant talk about how it may benefit my joint pain. I still have joint pain. No changes regarding joint pain.

Easy to swallow and no taste. No burps.

Very good product. Amazon has good price.

My doctor told me to try them for joint pain, recovering from a concussion, and to lower my cholesterol numbers. I saw results in all three areas! My joints hurt less throughout the day, after taking two pills in the morning with some food. I fully recovered from my concussion, and my triglycerides are back to where they should be. Ill continue to use them for these benefits, and for taking less prescribed medication.

NUMBER 1 SUPPLEMENT ON EARTH! IF YOU CANT THINK/REMEMBER, LIFE IS HARD. How can you live if you forget everything, how can you do a supplement protocol if you cant even remember to take it. If I had one supplement to give anyone on earth, it would be this first. If you cant reason, think, remember, anylyze and have proper brain function, How can you even try to live a normal life? You dont need more reminders on your phone, more notepads, more support from friends and family, YOU NEED OMEGA 3 FOR YOUR BRAIN CELLS. Doctors are so foolish with big phara, they dont tell people but I CAN REMBER TIMES, DATES AND EVEN HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY WHEN I TAKE MY FISH OIL!!! I FEEL REAL AGAIN INSTEAD OF BRAIN FOG DREAMY LIFE. If your fish oil smells / tastes like fish, THROW IT IN THE TRASH and get this stuff. if your fish oil is old and when you break into capsule and taste it, THROW IN THE TRASH AND GET NEW FRESH NON FISHY STUFF AND HEAL! God bless each of you.

I take Omega 3 regularly for health purposes. This product is pure, highly rated, price is doable.

These dont make you burn up the middle stuff. However the softgels are huge! This would not be ideal for those have a hard time swallowing pills.

Tried these before getting the same brand and product but at 180 softgels for $53.56 on another Amazon page. They are the same, but I decided to buy from this page first at 120 softgels before paying more for 180 softgels despite the 180 softgels being at a lower price per softgel. I originally was using NutriGold Triple Strength Omega-3 Gold just fine, but some doctors that I respect in the field that actively do research on Omega-3 spoke highly of Omega-3 products that were sold in triglyceride form as opposed to ethyl ester form (NutriGold Triple Strength, Lovaza, and most Omega 3 supplements on the market are in ethyl ester form). I use Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega now, and find that I do experience less GI symptoms than I used to when I used omega-3 products sold in ethyl ester form. Below is a summary of my findings that I also wrote in my review of NutriGold Triple Strength Omega-3 Gold regarding how I determined this was the Best Omega 3 supplement for me to take. First and foremost: Please talk to your physician before using this strong product, especially if considering using this to replace Lovaza/Omacor or Epanova or any other prescription fish oil products. Secondly, a lot of this information I use and trust is from consumerlab.com, though if you read the wikipedia page for the website there is some controversy over how unbiased and accurate they are. However, with the supplement industry being so unregulated and causing issues in the USA, I use any resource I can get to make sure supplements I use meet some kind of high standard. A consumerlab.com approved product meant that in their independent testing they found that the product met the claims on the label for levels of omega-3s, quality standards regarding mercury, lead and PCBs, and were not spoiled. A doctor can prescribe prescription fish oil for many reasons such as high triglycerides. Prescription fish oils like Lovaza has 840mg of EPA and DHA per 1 gram, of which approximately 465 is EPA and 375 is DHA. Nutrigold Triple Strength Omega-3 Gold was the only supplement on the entire aforementioned website that met my criteria of providing extremely high concentrations with ratio of EPA to DHA similar to Lovaza that was consumerlab.com approved and was also the cheapest in cost per 100 mg of EPA + DHA. Details below: - Nutrigold has 750mg EPA with 250mg DHA in 1060mg Total Omega-3s with cost for 100mg of EPA + DHA being $0.02 - OmegaBrite made by Pure World has 350mg EPA and 50mg DHA in 450mg Total Omega-3s with cost for 100mg of EPA + DHA being $0.11 - Vital Oils 1000 made by VitalRemedyMD has 250mg EPA and 750mg DHA in 1020mg Total Omega-3s with cost for 100mg of EPA + DHA being $0.10 Thus, not only does the NutriGold Triple Strength most resemble Lovaza in terms of the ratio of EPA and DHA provided, it was also the cheapest. Easy decision for me until I started asking the following question... IS FISH OIL BETTER IN ETHYL ESTER OR RE-ESTERIFIED TRIGYLCERIDE FORM? However, recent discussions I have had with a published doctor and advocate for Omega 3s that I respect at the Brain Health Education and Research Institute have led me to believe that omega-3 supplements should be in triglyceride form and not ethyl ester. Ethyl ester is cheaper and easier to manufacture, but fish oil occur naturally in triglyceride form. To make ethyl ester form, they expose the fish oil to alcohol so that they can distill the fish oil and concentrate it while removing contaminants. It was found that people absorb 37% more omega-3 fatty acids from natural fish oil (triglyceride form) than from ethyl ester form (if you want to search for the article on pubmed, look up PMID 20638827). That said, ethyl ester form is more widely available so most clinical studies with fish oil have been done on fish oil in ethyl ester form, so they should be safe. Yes, both the triglyceride and ethyl ester forms end up in the same form in your blood after digestion, but since the triglyceride form is absorbed better and is more natural, I have decided to purchase fish oil that is in re-esterified triglyceride form, meaning they convert natural fish oil they obtain first to an ester to concentrate and remove contaminants and then convert it back to a trigylceride form. (However, note that some products may be labeled natural but not be triglyceride form.) It is the opinion of some doctors I respect in the field that Omega-3s be a concentrated formulation that is molecularly distilled, pharmaceutical grade, and are in re-converted back to triglyceride form. Anecdotally, some doctors have found that their patients got the same results with those kinds of supplements as they did with Lovaza but with decrease in side effects (especially upset stomach). From the consumerlab.com list that leaves only two supplements: NutriGold Triglyceride Omega-3 Gold (providing 400mg EPA and 200mg DHA with Total of 700mg Omega-3s, at $0.03 per 100mg of EPA + DHA) and Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega (providing 325mg EPA and 225mg DHA with Total Omega-3s of 640mg, at $0.06 per 100mg of EPA + DHA). For my personal use, I have switched to Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega but may try the Nutrigold Triglyceride Omega-3 Gold soon. Bottom Line: Consider using NutriGold Triple Strength Omega-3 Gold if you just want a Lovaza substitute and do not care if it is in ethyl ester form (as Lovaza is in ethyl ester form). If you are a hippie and like things more natural, or you are doing your own research and find that the triglyceride form of omega-3 might be better or more effective for you, consider Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega or Nutrigold Triglyceride Omega-3 Gold.
