If I switch from Fish Oil with Omega 3 to Omega XL, will I still get all the benefits of Omega 3 plus theadditional benefits?

Yes, Omega XL contains even more benefits than Omega 3 and they are easier to swallow.

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

Hello :) I eat the oil because the oil is olive oil. I would not eat soybean oil or many of the other canning oils. The olive oil will help provide your OMEGA unsaturated fats, Vitamin E and of course protein in the fish. It is all very good for you. Hope this helps!

Supportive but inconclusive research shows that consumption of both i=omega 3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. (FDA approved health statement). Main advantage to me: non-fish.

I thought it was much better, having tried Omega XL. I re-ordered Tripernol, although through a different supplier this minth as there was a meaningful price difference, and I am disabled, so any savings is meaningful to me.Thank you, Terri

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.

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.

New Chapter wholemega Whole Fish oil is far better than OmegaXL. New Chapter is 100% wild Alaskan Salmon, with no fish oil aftertaste. Truly a superior product.

Yes. This is the only fish oil I will buy. Have been using it for five years now and can attest to its freshness.

No. This is the brand of fish oil capsules my husband and I have used since taking fish oil was recommended by our doctor, and we have had positive results in our cholesterol levels in follow up lab tests. Those results are good enough for us.

That's a very good question! I asked that immediately myself when I first saw the package. It makes NO sense. I wouldn't use this product for that reason alone. Personally, I prefer Solgar Wild Alaskan Full Spectrum Omega Supplement, 120 Count as a pure and potent source of omega-3s. Dark glass bottle, in a box as well. Great product, great company with a firm reputation.

I change the oil if i am cooking french fries after cooking fish in it. Don't seem to have a problem with food tasting different or the quality of the food if using the same oild 4-5 times.

I won't pretend to know all about Omega 3, but I do know that it is useful and "recommended/prescribed" for a number of reasons. I'll only address the reason I take it and continue to take this particular product. The varied reasons it may be recommended to you seems to lead to levels, dosages and/or type of Omega 3's. You could hear anything from specific mg of EPA or DHA or sometimes just "fish oil" or "omega 3" recommendations. Don't be surprised if your doctor and even some specialists don't seem to know what the latest research is. There is so much out there! I take it very specifically for relief of depression symptoms, although I took a different brand/type previously for just general health. I started taking the NOW Ultra Omega-3 about 18 months ago during an 8 week program of therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) to treat depression. Increasing Omega-3, in particular, a 2:1 EPA/DHA ratio, at an effective level (1000mg EPA I believe) has been shown to have a beneficial impact on depression for many. This brand has much more EPA than others I've found and for a giant pill goes down easily (2 softgels versus many more with less EPA). That's my two cents. May be helpful to some. If interested, you can read on... It is a long story as to why this would help depression, but I have found this particular EPA/DHA ratio helps me substantially, even though I am less compliant to the other principles of TLC (like exercise). Dr Stephen Ilardi's approach has research showing effectiveness at treating depression. He is the author of a book (they do sell it on amazon) or google him for more info.

Yes, I believe so. DHA/EPA OMEGA 3s are obtained from fatty marine animals: sardines, salmon, mackerel. Plant sources of omega 3s, like flaxseed, would not contain DHA/EPA. Neither would land animals contain omega 3 DHA/EPA. Coromega orange-flavor Omega-s has no fishy taste or after=taste. My grandkids love it and take it as is. No need to chase it down with orange juice or other beverage.

It has been tested by IFOS, the most reputable independent third party lab for omega-3 fish oil in the U.S.A. See my review for a further explanation. RWM

I looked on the back of the bottle and it did not say. I am sure that you will be fine taking this and the fish oil too. I take 1200 units of fish oil plus the flexacil ultra.
