what does 30% concentrate mean. Is it better then the usual fish oil or is it the same?

I really do not know. On my doctor's orders, I buy Fish oil 1000mg, which on the back of Nature's Bounty brand indicates each pill has 300 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids - this is obviously 30%. I do not buy by brand when I am purchasing. When I order several items from Amazon, I buy Kirkland. Hope this helps.

Nowhere on the label does it mention 30% concentrate. I would suggest you direct any questions to the Vitamin Infoline provided on the label at 1-800-428-7782. To me the product bearing the "Costco" Kirkland Signature name automatically means quality.

I think its the same. But 30% concentrate I think means that when they process the fish they have pure fish oil, then when they make the "pill" they add other things to it like the coating. Just an idea I apologize if I have not answered your question.

Basically that means 30% is the desired Omega oils present. In other words these are 1000 mg. fish oil tablets but there only 300 mg of omegas present. Hence, the 30%. The rest are fillers - there are better products but they will cost you - this is a natural product so it comes to a budget decision. It seems to work for me and I'm on a pension. Remember fine chocolate is in % so it's not a bad thing.

To answer your question on omega-3 forms...not sustainability....the omega-3s in krill oil are bound by phospholipids, which are thought to be somewhat better absorbed by our bodies than the triglyceride bonding in fish oils. But the thing is, the amount of omega-3 in krill oil is very minor compared to fish oils. Plus, there are solvents left over in the krill oil from extraction. Fish oil has no left over solvents. If you are looking for high amounts of omega-3, go with fish oil. If you want to pay excessive amounts of money for the same omega-3s in krill, go ahead. I choose the fish oil. :) And for sustainability, they say that krill are more sustainable than fish, but only time will tell. Again, it takes a LOT more krill to make any omega-3s in any quantity compared to fish. Personally, I think krill is turning out to be over rated. But to each his/her own.

David, I think the question is "what are you looking for in a fish oil?" Krill is the best for you and the important issue for me when I purchased this product was that it was 100% Antarctic Krill and that the producthas phosphollpids for the cell membrane and Astaxanthin which is important for energy transfer and oxidation protection (aging). I did not want any additives and don't think a USP seal really makes a difference since we takeso many herbal supplements that don't have the seal. I think you have to select what you are comfortable with. I found that there was no after taste or burping problem and that this band did not give me an upset stomach as some others.

I asked a similar question because I was unaware that the company also sells the Fish Oil? Can you take them both? How do they differ besides the fact that CLO has more Vitamin A/D??

The oil you take a tablespoon everyday the pools you can take 6-9 a day! I prefer the oil, in my opinion it works better and is quicker. Lots of people don't like the taste of the oil. I only like the pills when I travel.

I find Dr. Tobias Optimum Omega 3 Fish Oil is somewhat smaller but has a unique somewhat rough coating, which I prefer. Only two capsules are necessary to have 600 mg. of DHA. Most capsules require a much higher number to reach this dosage level.

Ultra Omega 3 is concentrated in the ethyl ester form, and the regular omega-3 is the natural triglyceride form (not concentrated). Hope that helps.

I would say that it's more pure than a lot of the other oils. To truly get pure oil you would have to buy organic vitamin e oil which is generally much more expensive.

Heather, this is the finest fish oil product I've ever used. It is fish oil from mackerel, sardines, and anchovy. There are no other additives. You can't go wrong with Carlson's.

Fish oil is healthy when ingested. Unless you're going to eat the fish oil soap, I don't think there's much point :)

What about just buying rosewater? I bought NOW rosewater concentrate, not pure oil, much milder and cheaper.

It is pure fish oil with lemon and peppermint essences added for flavor and vitamin E (alpha-tocopheral) added for extra vitamins and to extend shelf-life. If you don't like the flavor of fish, there's good chance you'll still like this. I detest fish but want the benefits, so I found a way around the flavor - I freeze it in a small tupperware container, scoop out a tsp, slide it off onto the very back of my tongue, then take a big swig of hot tea and swallow. Works like a charm!

The ratio is: EPA 860 mg. to DHA 580 mg. It's not twice as much. There is a lot of controversy as to how much you should take and the actual ratio. It all depends on what health concern you are addressing. I would advise you contact Metagenics and see if they have another Fish Oil that has exactly what you need. They have several types and are really helpful. Good Luck!

NO. It is not. As has been said, you can take both because Flax oil only contains omega-3 in ALA form (check the label) and that form, as with all plant-sourced omega-3 (except for algae), is very hard for our bodies to convert to any useful omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Fish oils, on the other hand, are "good to go" with no conversion necessary. I love flax for its moisturizing abilities, but also take fish oil as my real omega-3 source. As for flax being somehow cleaner because this one is organic, look for a molecularly distilled, domestic (Alaskan) type of fish oil (or just pure wild salmon oil) and you will be fine. I use Fisol by Nature's Way. Clean and Alaskan pollack and hake sourced. NO. It is not.
