Is this the best brand of fish oil? Is it a glass bottle? Does it really work? Whats a good brand of fish oil non gelatin?

The bottle is glass. I know fermented foods are good for us but I had to worst time swallowing these pills. They smell completely foul. I ended up trading fish oil bottles with my boyfriend because I couldn't take these anymore. As for effectiveness, my results are not measurable. I can't see or feel any differences in my body like I can when using L-glutamine. Ultimately, this brand appeared to be of high quality and the pill casing was quite thin, I'm assuming for easy gastro-absorbtion. Which is probably why they smell so bad.

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.

It doesn't have a fish smell. I usually take it while eating dinner. I've never burped up fish taste like I did with fish oil capsules.

I don't use the fish oil for memory improvement, but instead for general health. Fish oil is supposed to be very helpful in cases of arthritis, but also is supposed to have considerable other health benefits, possible cognitive as well.I take one tablespoon a day along with a couple of nuts right afterwards to get rid of the fishy taste.

Unfortunately, it's a glass bottle, but I think I'll buy a plastic squeeze bottle with a small tip to take on trips. Don't know if that will be detrimental to the oil.

I'm sorry but I don't have a bottle of the Salmon Oil. It smelled awful and my pets wouldn't eat it. I started buying the Pollock oil instead. I checked this bottle and under ingredients it only reads Pollock oil & tocoherols (whatever that is)

I'm using the Sibu brand sea buckhorn oil with Omega-7 and the Sibu buckthorn hydrating serum together, so don't know the difference between the two capsules. I do know the Sibu brand seems to work better even though it's a little more expensive. I have a little bit of hair growing. Yeah.

I do not know, however Carlsons has been the best fish oil products I have ever taken! Hands down best!

Hello. Thank you for your question. Coconut oil doesn't have a grade similar to what Fish oil may have. Barlean's Coconuts hand Selected & Picked Fresh, Cold-Expeller Pressed Fresh and Harvested at the Peak of Flavor & Nutritional Value COCONUT OIL NUTRITION Rich in Lauric Acid & Caprylic Acid Great Source of Medium Chain Triglycerides NON-GMO, FAIR TRADE GLUTEN FREE NON-HYDROGENATED ORGANIC - SOLVENT & CHEMICAL FREE I hope this is helpful. Thanks, NutraScience Customer Care Team

I couldn't find any direct information on the question you asked, however I copied this from the Barlean's website, "Kosher Certification: Many Barlean's products are currently Kosher certified. These include: Forti-Flax, Flax Oil, High Lignan Flax Oil, Omega Twin, High Lignan Omega Twin, Borage Oil and Coconut Oil." This list does not directly identify Fish oil as kosher certified (thus not containing any pork) however it gives you some alternatives if you're seeking Omega 3 in your diet. I believe some of those products are made with similar gel caps, so I don't know why they would make one with pork gelatin and another with something different. Obviously this probably isn't enough evidence so I would suggest contacting Barlean's directly at info@barleans.com OR 800.445.3529. Good luck!

why use this instead of vegetable or bacon oil etc? this little 6 ounce bottle is very expensive and wont last very long. $10 gets way more good olive oil or coconut oil or flaxseed etc. i am just curious why this is ranked so high, high cost for very little you get.

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

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.

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

Not at all, perhaps the only fish oil I have taken that does not have an after taste or makes me belch with a fishy tasate. I highly recommend.

It is all natural and states an allergy warning for a small amount of soy derivative content. It is also pharmaceutical grade, which has always been a determining factor for me as being a good natural product. I have been using it for months now and can attest that it has no aftertaste and has porved to be a good product. Thanks for the other helpful info listed below too. It only affirms my choice. I've tried a handful of other fish oils and so far I've been impressed with this one.
