 A nessacary supplement for all!May 08, 2012
By Paula Randall
I've always taken some type of essential fatty acid, prefer capsules or gels over the liquid, seems to agree with me more. The reason I like taking the caps mostly is because there is not after taste, which is a nice benefit. I've been trying to lose weight the healthiest way possible, and my doctor recommended efa's as a way to accomplish this. I also started taking raspberry ketones, Scivation Essential Fatty Acids 180 Softgels + FREE 25 Grams Raspberry Ketones Powder which became a blessing in disguise because I have crazy cravings for sweets just about every night and the appetite suppressant effects have been kicking in right on time. I think everyone should take some type of essential fatty acid and if you trying to lose weight naturally as possible I would also recommend raspberry ketones which I have been great for me so far.

Expensive but worth every centSep 23, 2011
By Eileen G.

I've taken fish oil supplements in the past, and couldnt get past the fishy taste. I also never noticed a difference in how I feel. A friend recommended these to me, and though it killed me to spend the money, I bought a bottle. Number one, no fishy taste or aftertaste. Number two, the best surprise ever - because even though I started taking these for all my bone and joint ailments, I was shocked to notice how my ANXIETY has gotten better. I have terrible anxiety, I have an open RX for xanax, and take on an as needed basis, which is really only about one or two times a month. I have been battling this anxiety for the past three or four years. Lately I have noticed the anxiety is GONE. The only thing I have changed in my lifestyle is that I started taking this supplement. Coincidence? I don't think so! I am pretty darn happy about it too.
Another note if you buy these, keep them in your refrigerator - my friend has had a few bottles actually go bad and her chiropractor told her keeping them in the fridge will prevent this.

The BEST fish oil on the market!Mar 26, 2011
By John Marrow
Many experts believe that a high quality fish oil is probably the most important supplement we can take. This is in part, due to the fact that the average American diet is severely lacking in omega 3 fatty acids, but is very high in omega 6. According to the literature I have read, the ideal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 should be 1:1. However, the average American diet is estimated to provide a ratio of 33:1!
Another problem with consuming enough omega 3 is the fact that our oceans have been polluted, so nutritional experts caution eating too much fish. Some have gone as far as to not eat fish at all (though I think that is extreme).
Because of the pollution in our oceans, it is important that when choosing a fish oil supplement that it be molecuarly distilled. I personally avoid ones that simply claim to only be purified of mercury, because mercury isn't the only problem. While products that say this might very well be purified to remove other impurities, the fact is, I like to see things in black-and-white. Otherwise, if impurities other than mercury were to be found in the fish oil product, the company couldn't be held accountable because they never claimed otherwise. Fortunately, not only is Ultimate Omega molecularly distilled, but it also far exceeds the International Fish Oil Standards (I.F.O.S.) expectations in purity in every area tested. So Ultimate Omega can be taken with full confidence, that it is simply the the purest fish oil available surpassing some of the strictest standards in the world for fish oil.
Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a fish oil product is that the product provides an effective dose to get desired results. According to many experts I have read, if someone has no health problems, then 1000 mg of EPA & DHA (combined) is usually sufficient for preventative measures.
It can be difficult to find a fish oil product that provides 1000 mg of EPA & DHA in a single serving (usually two softgels). Nordic Naturals' Ultimate Omega provides 1100 mg of EPA & DHA in two softgels (each softgel containing 1000 mg of fish oil). Most standard fish oil products provide only 600 mg of EPA & DHA per 2000 mg of oil. Which means that one would have to consume approximately 4 g (4000 mg) of fat to receive a dose of EPA & DHA comparable to what Nordic Naturals' product offers with just 2g (2000 mg) of fat.
With all that said, some might still be wondering why they should pay the premium price for Ultimate Omega. Because, the truth is, there are other fish oil products out there that can provide at least 1000 mg of EPA & DHA in just two softgels, but at a much lower price. The difference lies in one more place: most fish oil products are in an ethyl ester form, while Ultimate Omega is in a triglycerides form. There have been some debate among experts between which is the superior form. Many proponents of ethyl ester forms felt that the triglycerides form was all hype. However, in 2010, scientific findings have shown that the triglycerides form actually absorbs anywhere from 50-70% better than the ethyl ester form.
- Ultimate Omega can be taken with FULL confidence that it is the purest fish oil on the market, far exceeding the standards of the I.F.O.S.
- It provides a convenient way to receive effective dosages of EPA & DHA in a single serving.
- The omega 3 is provided in a form that has higher absorption than 99% of all other fish oil products.
- Nordic Naturals is one of the most trusted companies in the world for fish oil products, and Ultimate Omega is a good testament to why that is.

 Expensive, yes, but worth it for me...Dec 29, 2005
By Katrina
Expensive, yes, but worth it for me...
It's extra pure and the only kind that does not give me horrible reflux of the many I've tried. It is also more highly concentrated than most brands and therefore, fewer have to be taken.

Fish Oil took care of my ExcemaJul 09, 2008
By healthybabe
I have been using about 3000mg of DHA and EPA combined as suggested my my doctor (that is about 6 capsules of the Ultimate Omenga). I noticed a few weeks after taking fish oil that the terrible eczema that I had been battling for over a year was going away. It went completely away. I went off of the fish oil I was using for a couple weeks(I was using a cheap brand from Sam's Club) because my Dr. recommended using a higher quality brand of fish oil and suggested Nordic Naturals. My eczema started to come back from being off of fish oil but after using the NordicNaturals Ultimate Omega it has started going away again!
