Does anyone take Omega 3 supplements?

If so, do you have a brand you recommend?

Andrew Lessman - Procaps. He puts an essential oil in it(I think that's what it is) so you never get any fishy taste coming back up later. Gross I know, but I had stopped taking Omega 3 because of the taste.

Andrew Lessman - I buy the ones with orange oil - no fishy after taste. HSN is having a sale right now on them but I usually buy them from Amazon as they are usually cheaper. These are a more expensive brand but pure and easy to swallow.

We take the brand that our Dr recommended, Barlean's or Nordic Naturals Pro Omega. Both have a good taste, no fishy issues.

I've been using Andrew Lessman for several years and love them. There's no fishy aftertaste.

I have tried many brands...both krill and fish oil....my dr. suggested Kirkland from Costco its cheap, and I tested first bottle every week or so to make sure was still fresh, it passed, no problems.

Thank you for all the recommendations.

Are Lessman's Omega 3's purified to remove mercury and other toxins?

That's what I am most worried about.

I was concerned about mercury and toxins too. I can't comment on Lessman's because I haven't tried them.

TJ's Omega-3 is molecularly distilled.

Description from amazon site--

Trader Joe's Omega 3 Fatty Acids among the so-called 'good fats' we should all be getting into our diets. And while all of TRJ's Omega-3s have been molecularly distilled to remove contaminants such as PCBs, mercury and other heavy metals, many people are bothered by a FISHY aftertaste when they incorporate Omega-3 softgels into their diets. This formation undergoes steam deodorization, a process that removes those elements which create the aftertaste, while leaving intact all the beneficial attributes of the fish oils which supply the Omega-3's.

Per 1 softgels
Fish body oil 1200mg
Provides: EPA 400mg, DHA 200mg
Other ingredients: Gelatin, Glycerine, Purified Water, Antioxidant Blend. Fish Oil derived from anchovies & sardines.
Contains no Yeast, Sugar or Starch.

You should look at the epa and dha levels- . My doctor likes them to be as high as possible- like over 700 or more combined. That is where you get most of your omegas 3 from. It should say on the bottle if they have been processed to get rid of the bad things.

Andrew Lessmans are ok - but pretty expensive as are most of his products. Nordic is a good brand. I know a lot of people like him but don't forget he is there to sell a product he manufactures.

Andrew's is the only brand I will take.

If you go to HSN or ProCaps Labs online, you can read the jar label (no mercury or contaminants). Link here if this works.
