Highly Concentrated EPA and DHA . Nutraceutical Sciences Institute offers the largest selection of pure and great tasting omega oils and softgels - Pharmaceutical Grade - Molecularly Distilled with high elemental levels of Omega-3 EPA & DHA, and are purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities, including PCBs and heavy metals. All Nutraceutical Sciences Institute products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is lab tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels. How Does NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated “good” fats found in oil from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They’re classified as “essential” because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on it own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They’re believed to reduce the “stickiness” of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection. Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one’s lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior. Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they’re also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per two-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold-water sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America, where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated. Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-Verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. - Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFA’s, EPA and DHA, together in two easy-to-take softgels. - Is derived from high-quality, molecularly-distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil.

"If I could give this product 6 or 7 stars I easily would. Let me start by saying I've tried probably about 10 different brands of fish DHA/EPA supplements. This one is the most potent (by far) in terms of active constituents and is a stunning value. Best of all, they are coated with a natural strawberry flavor which masks 99% of the fish smell. Even better, it is the only DHA/EPA product out of 10+ that I've *ever* used that has never produced a single fishy burp! I might go so far to say that this is one of the best products on this site."

"I like this Omega 3 but it does cause me strawberry, fishy belching for a few hours after taking.(they are flavored with strawberry) Not major, but enough for me to think "yuck". Make sure you take them with food. That helps. I will keep using them as they are better than others I have taken. Give them a try. They may not affect you in the same way."

"I have to tell you that I could not take this stuff. About 20-30 minutes after taking, I'd start burping mackerals for the next couple hours! Yuck! Didn't matter if I took it with food or without food, with milk or with water, with Jack Daniels... well, you get the drift!
I have never tried to take any Omega 3's before so I don't know if this is any different from others. I just know that whoever said it won't make you burp has a different digestive system than me!"

"I've been on these for just a month or so and my skin is in the best condition ever! It had been very dried out, flaky, irritated, etc. from using facial peels and acne products, but it's completely turned around. I started taking them to help my brain and memory. This is an added bonus that I thought other women would like to know about. (I've had 'problem' skin my whole life so, I am very appreciative it when it's not a problem! I'm in my late 40's)"

"After using fish oils for a few months now, I can without a shadow of a doubt say, that I can definitely feel a difference with my post workout recovery. I dont have nearly the pain in my joints that I normally would feel. Even at the height of the winter months, when I tend to "feel" the cold the most in my joints, there is no pain at all.
Definitely an excellent supp to use in conjunction with a steady workout routine."
