Is there any difference between these Super Omega-3 fish oil softgels and the Super Omega-3 GEMS fish oil concentrate? Both say 1000 mg.....

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

I will post an answer to my own question in case helps someone--I bought both the 100+30 pills of "Super Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate" and the 300 pill bottle of the "Super Omega-3 GEMS Fish Oil Concentrate" and they are EXACTLY the SAME thing. In fact the smaller bottles I received also have the word "GEMS" on the label now too, unlike the bottle pictured. It appears the addition of the word Gems is just the newer label. What is also interesting is that the price per pill was a little better with the 2 smaller bottles, at least on the day I purchased.! Worth doing the math--bigger package is not always the better price!

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.

I am sure there is a difference between the two, but I cant put my hands on it at this time

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.

Epa-DHA Balance has EPA 400mg and 200mg DHA, max DHA has DHA 560 mg, and EPA 100 mg; the max dha is the stuff I guess I needed because it helped me remember more . I also take fish oil twice a day. BOB

I went to the Now Foods website http://www.nowfoods.com/Super-Omega-3-6-9-1200mg-180-Softgels.htm, and the back label says (EPA: 126 mg, DHA: 78 mg). Hope that helps!

It really depends on your individual needs. As the previous person said, if you are taking the daily dosage listed on the bottle, it will last you 40 days. But depending on your personal needs, your dosage may be much higher. I have a thyroid condition, so my optimal dosage is far greater, and the bottle only lasts me about 15 days. But it's totally worth it. I use this or the Algae Omega softgels every single day. Great products that have helped me rebuild my health.

You have to compare bottle size, price, and capsule size. Doctor's Best is a good company, and this particular product is made from calamari. 500mg minimum dha/capsule. I don't know if you can compare one from fish oil and this one from calamari if that is your concern.

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

According to the "Supplement Facts" on the bottle, each softgel provides 980 mg of Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids comprising of EPA 647 mg and DHA 253 mg. Hope this helps.

Hi Phyllis -- I cannot tell you what is the difference or what is the same BUT I can tell you that I have used it for years and my family and friends have used it... I also use it for my dogs and all of us are very happy plus pain is gone or decreased. My dog could not walk at all with her hind legs and she started using them again and was fine for another 8 - 10 years... Oh Phyllis if you are going to use the Omega BE SURE YOU USE THE OMEGA 3-6-9 .. this is the most complete and one does not work well without the other ... GOOD LUCK - GOD BLESS

By "what is" I assume you mean what are the amounts of ingredients of the two fatty acids, not what is their function or definition. As listed on the label, the NB Fish Oil 1400mg provides the following: Each capsule (softgel) contains 1400mg. of Fish Oil, providing 980mg. of total Omega-3 Fatty Acids, comprised of the following: EPA.......647mg. DHA......253mg., plus "other fatty acids" in unspecified amounts. It is derived from fish, anchovy, mackerel, and sardines. If you have further questions, please feel free.
