Is there any difference compared to Carlson's fish oil?

I really like it. I have never tried the Carlson brand. I mix it in a shake and I can't even taste it. It doesn't come back on you like a lot of fish oils do.

This may be a more trivial answer, but the bottle is much messier than Carlson's bottles. The Carlson's bottles pour very well. This one tends to accumulate drips on the sides.Given that you have to trust what's on the label anyway, it's hard to know whether the Omega-3 content is any better or worse. I felt comfortable switching from Carlson's after doing some research on their testing.

I've never used Carlson but I can't imagine it is much better than this. You can't beat the price on this and the high reviews. If you're looking for quality fish oil this is it. Also this doesn't taste bad or smell fishy.

I have not tried Carlson's personally, but this fish oil doesn't taste bad at all in my opinion. It is high quality, so you don't need to take multiple tablespoons full to get your daily dose.

I am not sure of the 'type' of fish used, but I do know that is a 'deep cold water' fish and is free from 'mercury' because of the purity/depth/temperature of the water. That is the reason that I use Carlson Labs Fish Oil. No need for more 'mercury' poisoning our systems.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

According to their website there isn't a qualitative difference. Both varieties have the same listed properties, including: wild caught, 1.7 g omega-3, and BPA free cans.

I also don't know that. I have not experienced any side effects with this as I have with fish oil.

No, I bought them for my nephews and they loved it. The older one didn't feel fish oil but the younger one did as he is very sensitive. Overall it's a good deal. They are more expensive in whole foods.

There is no difference between super omega-3 with the word "gems" and that without the word. It's labeling. To add to this, the only difference between the Gems and the Elite is the size of the softgel. The Gems are smaller at 1,000mg of fish oil per softgel. The Elite are 1,250mg per softgel. So, they are giving you the same ratios of EPA and DHA, just jamming more oil into one softgel.

I don't know this answer but here is their website http://www.carlsonlabs.com/s-12-fish-oils.aspx

On the bottle it says: Carlson Super Omega-3 GEMS soft gels contain 1000 mg (1 gram) of a special concentrate of fish body oils from deep, cold water fish which are especially rich in the important Omega-3's EPA and DHA. It also says: Carlson: Specializing in the finest Norwegian fish oils since 1982.

No, not when compared with other fish oils out there. Just take with food as directed and it won't have any.

Thank you for sending us your question! Not at all. In fact is quite small. In comparison to some fish oil capsules, it can be even half the size of a fish oil capsule. There is a video review posted by a costumer and he shows the capsule. You can check it out so you can see it for yourself. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.

Yes, I believe so. I did my research on the fish oil and it seem the best. It has a good amount of omega-3's, the amount we should be in taking.

Hello there! It does not appear the Carlson Cod Liver Oil products are cold-pressed. You may find more information here: http://www.carlsonlabs.com/ProductLiterature/carlson_cod_liver_oil.pdf We hope this helps!

Yes, nordic naturals. I have read that the burping doesnt happen with higher quality/purer fish oil, and that has definitely been my experience.

I initially answered I don't know. But I found an empty bottle and it says that it is Norweigen fish oil on the ingredient list, but it does not state where it is made. It does say Carlson labs is in Chicago IL though.

It's just fish oil. The claim to improve mood is based on what they claim is a high EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid, a type of Omega 3) content. It looks like the EPA is 50% of the total Omega 3 (1000mg out of a 2000mg serving) and the fish oil I now take (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega) has approximately the same ratio (650mg of EPA ourt of 1280mg total Omega 3).
