I would compare these to Metagenics Omegagenics EPA-DHA. The only difference is that these ones cause a tad bit of fishy burps. But as far as quality goes, I feel as good taking these ones as I do taking Metagenics ones. Plus, they're cheaper. Is you can stand a little fishy burp action, you might find these to be a suitable alternative to Metagenics, like I have. Read more

I like Carlson Omega 3 gems, they have a good dose of omegas in each capsule. As with all fish oil, the caps are large, but with Carlson there's no nasty burping or aftertaste. I keep mine in the frig for freshness. Carlson has clean manufacturing processes, so I feel confident that they don't contain heavy metals. Read more

My doctor recommended these fish oils as the best on the market and I have to agree. He has checked these fish oil capsules out and can actually confirm that they are pure fish oils and there are no additives. I take 2 of these per day and there is no after taste. I have been using them for years at his recommendation. He is very big on the Mediterranean diet and since I don't always eat 3 servings of fish per week then this is the best alternative for me. Highly recommended! Read more

I believe it is in your interest to know as much as in mine. I made a question regarding the LOT # and batch # that we as consumers would think to be indicated on the bottle received as those #s are identifiable in IFOS for assurance on those heavy metal tests. Per Carlson's response, "Thank you for contacting us. Please keep in mind not all batches are going to be sent to IFOS for testing. The lot number printed on the product bottle will not match the lot numbers listed on the IFOS reports. The lot numbers listed on the IFOS reports are bulk lot numbers from when we receive the product. We designate our own lot numbers to bulk lots as we package and label them. There can be multiple lot numbers assigned to one bulk lot. Every bulk lot of product is tested a minimum of once, sometimes two or three times, for the same parameters depicted in the IFOS reports, however it is not always through the IFOS program. The same standards apply to every bulk lot that we receive and we do not release the product for sale unless our specifications are met. So, while lot numbers listed on the IFOS website are not seen on our products, the bulk lots that are listed there are representative of all of our products and you can be assured that all our products meet the same standards. Thank you Customer Service" Carlson Laboratories Read more

Not the cheapest but found this recommended by Dr Peter Attia. I just started with it - no burly aftertaste or smell. Recommend it! Read more
