whats the purpose of the extra omega 5,6,7,8 & 9? people get enough of these essential acids from foods. so why did they add these?

You probably should ask the manufacturer, if that information is not provided on the packaging.

They told me it's equivalent to eating two servings of salmon a week. But unlike eating fish you don't have as high of a risk of contaminants. A lesser risk is Sports Research Labs or Mercola brand krill oil. The least risk is buying Premier Labs Research DHA supplement but if you want virtually zero risk get Premier Research Labs EFA oil although it doesn't contain EPA or DHA. The best situation to cover all your EFA needs is buying both their DHA and EFA oil if you got the money.

The omegas you list are not "added" to this wild salmon oil. They are the omegas naturally found in wild salmon, just like if you ate the fish itself. This is a completely natural product. :)

It is pure fish oil with lemon and peppermint essences added for flavor and vitamin E (alpha-tocopheral) added for extra vitamins and to extend shelf-life. If you don't like the flavor of fish, there's good chance you'll still like this. I detest fish but want the benefits, so I found a way around the flavor - I freeze it in a small tupperware container, scoop out a tsp, slide it off onto the very back of my tongue, then take a big swig of hot tea and swallow. Works like a charm!

I find Dr. Tobias Optimum Omega 3 Fish Oil is somewhat smaller but has a unique somewhat rough coating, which I prefer. Only two capsules are necessary to have 600 mg. of DHA. Most capsules require a much higher number to reach this dosage level.

Good question this as the label on the bottle says anchovy sardine and mackerel and these fishes are very high in EPA and DHA.

I liked the lemon, lime and orange. I take the Total Omega Swirl orange mostly because of the added health benefits

I don't eat fish, meat or dairy any longer since I switched to a plant-based protein diet for better health. However, when I ate these sardines I drained the excess oil and ate them that way. If it's olive oil, then its a little healthier than soybean oil.

It does not. You can add DHA. Baby's only makes one to be added or alternatively you can buy some at a health food store. Some people believe the DHA that it is big name brand formula is potentially unsafe due to it being manufactured from algae vs. fish oil.

If you go to the Carlson Labs website it describes that the children fish oil 'has 800 mg of Omega -3 Fatty Acids per each 1/2 teaspoonful' and that is Vitamin A & D free. The Carlson oil I use (adults) states it has 1,600 mg of Omega per teaspoon . . . And has Vit E. I have a 7 year old boy and I give him half a teaspoon/day. I don't think that there is much difference but it might be worth for you to contact Carlson directly. Good luck!

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

yes, this is misleading because the ingredients by law need to be listed in strongest-quantity-first order. So how can the higher amount of 5% B3 be listed after the lower 1% retinol? My understanding is that it should be the other way around unless maybe there is a missing decimal point before the 5% and it is really .5% B3. I am just a consumer and don't know much, but this is my guess.

Perhaps it because the oil has a high omega content. I bought a cheap one at the drug store before ordering this, it didn't have a date either.

In the concentration of EPA and DHA per pill. You want the highs mg per pill because its the actually Omega 3 content not the fish oil content that counts.

Mfg. info does not address this. I use Canola oil which is healthy and only use 2/3 what they suggest. Product is fantastic!!!!

DHA and EPA are part of omega 3 fatty acids. the modern industrialized diet tends to be lower in omega 3 than would be optimal. Omega 3 has a beneficial effect on cholesterol profiles, lowers triglycerides and inflammation. Food sources of omega 3 are primarily fish and fish oil, off the menu for vegans. for a vegan supplement, get both DHA and EPA. Also get the other natural food sources such was walnuts, broccoli, leafy greens, and winter squash. Always include natural and minimally processed vegan foods and don't rely on supplements. Your body needs the "total package."

These are for vegans, vegetarians or those who are looking for plant based Omega-3's. They are more environmental friendly.
