Review:  When I first opened the bottle I was taken back by the giant size of these soft gels.  On the contrary, I was also surprised by the lack of "fishy" taste or any kind of after taste from these soft gels.  It claims there is a great lemon taste to these, but I haven't noticed any taste at all.  The suggested serving is 2 soft gels twice a day with food.  That's 4 of these giant size pills!  That's a big downer for me.  However, they are the only omega 3's I've ever tried that don't leave an after taste, and surprisingly enough, the gels were easy to swallow.

To give some back ground on the importance of EPA and DHA I have included the following from Whole Foods.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

Proper function of our inflammatory system depends on the presence of messaging molecules called prostaglandins. Many of these prostaglandins are made directly from EPA. Equally important, most of the prostaglandins made from EPA tend to be anti-inflammatory in their effect. Therefore, your risk of excessive inflammation and inflammation-related disease can be lowered through consumption of foods rich in EPA.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

Proper function of our nervous system—including our brain—depends on the presence of DHA. DHA is particularly important to brain function. Our brain is 60% fat by weight, and DHA makes up an average of 15 to 20% of all fat in our brain. If we tie these two facts together, we arrive at the following conclusion: DHA accounts for 9-12% of our brain's total weight! Drops in brain DHA levels are known to associate with cognitive impairment or slower neurological development in children. Nervous system deficiencies of DHA have been associated with a wide variety of problems, including neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease; cognitive problems including reasoning ability in children; and severity of multiple sclerosis.

Nordic Naturals provided me with several samples of some of their other popular products.  They offer omegas for kids, for prenatal and lactating women, and pets, but for adults as well.  They also offer multivitamin gummies, and a host of other healthy products.

Be sure to check out the company that medical professionals and research institutions prefer to work with, Nordic Naturals born in Arctic Norway.  In July 2014, a study was published showing how Ultimate Omega in the natural triglyceride form was 382% more effective than krill oil, 227% more effective than salmon oil, and 47% more effective than ethyl ester fish oil. This study also shows that Ultimate Omega is the least expensive option for the greatest results.  To view the study click here.
