Editorial Review: Kirkland Signature fish supply comes from deep ocean waters. Kirkland Signature fish oil is not supplied from farm-raised fish. State-of-the-art molecular distillation process is used to remove mercury, PCBs and dioxins which guarantees purity and potency with reduced fish odor, on all Kirkland Signature fish oil products. The fish oil is derived from a variety of fish species to maximize omega-3 fatty acid concentration. Fish Oil naturally contains the Omega-3 Fatty Acids, EPA and DHA. Omega-3 Fatty Acids help maintain heart and vascular health. The enteric coating reduces the fishy odor and aftertaste by protecting the softgel until it reaches the lower intestine. 1200 mg Fish Oil with 684 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids per Serving Contains No Yeast, No Starch, No Gluten, No Lactose
Very satisfied 5 out of 5
This product was delivered just as defined with no delay.
I have hesitated taking Fish Oil with Omega 3 fatty acids because some have commented about a fishy after-taste especially at night. My eye doctor is very high on it and she strongly urged me to start taking it. With aging, eye trouble and heart risk, I decided to try it. On her recommendation, I chose a higher quality product and this one is perfect - no aftertaste. I will definitely order again.
EPA & DHA NUMBERS 5 out of 5
Doing research on a prescription pill called Lovaza as an alternative to this. I called Costco, spoke with their pharmacy for this supplement they quoted:
EPA 410mg per
DHA 274mg per
Compared to the wonder drug (for high-tri problems) Lovaza:
EPA 465mg per
DHA 375mg per
So you're getting a little less EPA and considerably less DHA compared to the prescription fish oil pill. But for me (and I'd assume most people who have pharmacy copays and/or deductibles), the cost of taking one additional supplement capsule per day is ultimately FAR less expensive than going prescription.
Outstanding....and it works! 5 out of 5
In my pursuit, as a woman, to find the right combination of products to promote hair growth (I am 60 years old), I discovered that taking enough of a good quality fish oil supplement actually works! I tried other brands and they just didn't work!
Please understand that fish oil does not "make" your hair grow, but supplies enough nutrients so that you can regrow lost hair. With me, I feel that my nutritional status has decreased over the years causing my hair to thin. My diet is very good, but age still is a factor in my ability to utilize the food I eat.
However, you can't just take one or two capsules a day to achieve this effect. The bottle states that every capsule contains EPA 410 mg and DHA 274 mg. Since you can't separate them, you have to count only the lesser amount of DHA 274 mg. The recommended amount by healthy/naturalist recommendations require that you take 2,000 mg/day of EPA and DHA. This equals 7 capsules a day to achieve. For myself, I found that taking six capsules a day, three in the morning with breakfast and three in the afternoon with supper, is sufficient. If I have to, I will increase my intake to 7 capsules a day.
Although they are enteric coated, I help myself by taking all three capsules with the first few mouthfuls of food, making the famous "fish-belch" even less likely.
Good luck!
Oversized pill 1 out of 5
The pill always gets stuff in my throat and makes me feel like to vomit
Great to work with. 5 out of 5
We received our Kirkland Enteric-coated Fish Oil softgels quickly and the 2 bottles were in great shape, as well was the product inside them.
We plan to continue to order these from this company, as we have over the past couple of years and have continued to recieve great products at a fair price.
