Initially used for joint relief after really intense lifts. DHA helps in my opinion, however I also just found out it decreased my tryglicerides by 2/3 so win win. Highly recommended along with the Adam or Eve softgells and the vegetable sourced 3-6-9 and ZMA at night. With these NOW provides an outstanding foundation for heavy training. Over 40 and in the 90% for all my lifts these days. NOW is the real deal

Good price and no fishy after taste. These are good sized capsules but they are not hard to swallow. They go down fairly easy for me. I tried some GNC fish oil Mini caps and while they are not as long as these they are larger around the middle and I just about choked on those every time. These are much better tolerated. No problem at all to swallow.

I’ve been using these for several months, because I am doing the Nemecheck protocol for my daughter. Because it is so high in DHA, I know it is passing the blood brain barrier. It works, because the results prove it.

I learned about DHA while studying for my recovery from a brain injury accident. Several research papers I studied all pointed out numerous benefits at various points of life, including for an unborn child who Is nourished by its mother.. DHA was also noted as not being unhealthy if over consumed, just too expensive if over used. I have been consuming DHA twice daily since learning about it nearly 2 years ago and plan to consume it daily forever. DHA benefits me at all ages.

BIG> These soft gel caps are BIG, did i mention that? I can swallow them, but I can see many people having trouble. It rivals a prescription metformin 1000mg XR tablet in size. If you are used to getting those into your gullet, then you can choke this horse pill down. Can cause belching, but doesn’t seem to be a big problem with this brand. Very occasional “fish” taste, but that is the exception rather than the rule.

Easy to swallow even though they are large.
The downside is you will taste fish later on when you burp.

It is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of any supplement, especially if you take a cocktail of them like me. What I can say is that there were no packaging or capsule defects, and no bad taste or burps. If you are a man, it is worth the extra few bucks for the added DHA. If you are a woman, you could get away with a cheaper Omega 3 product. (This is because women’s bodies produce more DHA naturally than men’s)

Looking for higher DHA than EPA which is not easy to find – this fit the bill – the soft gels are not too big – there is no smell or flavor – they were packaged well and shipped quickly – don’t think I could ask for more!

This is a great price for Onega 3 type supplement. The DHA helps get to small capillaries for better circulation an blood supply more than EPAs. This helps with blood supply to the brain.

I bought these for use with the Nemechek Protocol. You have to take quite a few of them and you don’t get nasty fish tasting burps or anything. The price is great for such a good quality product.
