Overview
This is a great price for this product--with the added vitamin D (1000IU's) daily. I don't believe you will ever find a better choice, value, or purity.The natural lemon flavor hides the fishy smell and taste really well. Very, very few people burp this oil due to its purity.

Adding daily these 1280 mg of EPA + DHA is highly recommended for everyone. Children would use about 1/3 to 1/2 of that. However, fish oils are not as important as your need for the Barlean's Flax Seed oil daily. Flax dominates fish oil in your body's usage by a factor of almost 9:1. You need to consume 8.5- 9.0 TIMES more pure, fresh flax seed oil. This is a significantly greater amount and is well proven in research journals on this point. Fish oils are derivatives (i.e. made from) of the plant version of omega-3 fats. The parent in this case is LNA described in depth in the flax seed oil section. Please don't believe anyone who tells you that Omega-3 fats are not essential to add in a supplement form daily. Also, please believe the research that has proven that men need 90% of their Omega-3 fats from flax seed oil and 10% from fish oils, and women need 85% Flax and 15% fish. Thus if you are only going to buy one choice of Omega-3 fats, vs. both flax and fish oil, choose the Barlean's Flax seed oil and take the full 1 TBSP required. If you can afford to buy both, do.

Nordic Naturals(R) fishes their own fish, press their own oils, and carefully, at the highest standards in the industry, specially process them or clean any impurities. However, they start with the anchovies, sardines, and cod fish from the more pristine Nordic waters of the North Sea. They test every batch and have proof of their purity for your review. This standard for us as consumers is life saving and rare. I promise you that 95% of the "Fish Oil" on the market, especially those from the "biggest companies" and even from companies that you buy high quality supplements from, such as Barlean's flax; have purchased their supply of fish oil from a third party. I cannot stress enough how critical it is that you follow my advise on the brand and the label for the flax and fish oils you take. My study of fats is exhaustive and has spanned many years and many, many studies that you would never see. Most people demonstrate their ignorance about Omega-3 fats when they start their recommendations with fish oils OVER or INSTEAD OF the Plant form (LNA) . Fish oils are made in animals from LNA. LNA is the mother oil.
