Nordic NaturalsComplete Omega, Lemon Flavor - 16 oz - 1270 mg Omega-3 - EPA & DHA with Added GLA - Healthy Skin, Cognition, Positive Mood - Non-GMO - 96 Servings

I bought this complete omega 3-6-9 for my husband a last month. his brain function has improved considerably. He use to have worries, being anxious, anxiety issues and loss of apitite. Now all that has subsided and he is slowly gaining weight back. Omega 3-6-9 in combined with vitamin 'E', Vitamin 'C', and 'B' Complex. they are all liquid form so nutrients are absorbed quickly. It is extremely important that everyone takes omega since our bodies can't produce these vital nutrients. there are omega for children in liquid form for their brain development, it will help them to focus and concentrate better and yes it is flavored since children are fussy.what else is very important is:Omega 3The most important 2 fatty acids in the Omega 3 family are EPA and DHA as these are in limited supply and only found in any real quantities in oily fish and fish oil supplements. Although DHA is important for pregnant and nursing mothers and for young children for healthy development of the brain and vision, EPA can be considered the most important for everyone else as it is necessary for the efficient functioning of the brain and the body at a cellular level.The Omega 3's have anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant properties as well as many other important health benefits. They reduce inflammation and can provide protection against cardiovascular disease, arthritis, skin conditions, depression and other mood-related disorders.Omega 6Although Omega 6 is generally classed as pro-inflammatory, paradoxically, GLA, when sourced dietetically, has anti-inflammatory properties. It can help the bloating and pain associated with PMS. It also maintains healthy skin, hair and nails and generally helps to bring about hormonal and emotional balance.Omega 3 and Omega 6 interact with each other so the balance between them is crucial for good health. Together they affect the production of hormonal type messengers called eicosanoids, which has an impact on inflammation in the body and all functions at a cellular level.Omega 9Omega 9 also has many preventative qualities as its main component, Oleic acid, helps to reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Borage oil contains both Omega 6 and Omega 9 in the form of Gamma-linolenic acid and Oleic acid and is in fact, one of the best sources of GLA.Pure EPA therefore contains a blend of all 3 of the important fatty acids EPA, GLA and OA making it an excellent choice of omega 3 6 9 supplement.Benefits of Omega 3 6 9Omega fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats. They are healthier than saturated fats and have many metabolic functions. There are many benefits of omega 3 6 9 supplementation.Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids (EFA's). Our bodies cannot manufacture them, and we must consume them in our diets. Omega 9 fatty acids are not essential. Our bodies need omega 9 fats, but we can manufacture them from other sources.Omega 3 fatty acids prevent heart disease and the complications of heart attack. People who take omega 3 fatty acids have a lower mortality rate after heart attack than those who do not.Omega 3 EFA's improve cardiac risk factors, and help prevent CHD. They normalize lipid levels, lower blood pressure and improve glucose metabolism.Omega 3's may be helpful in a number of other conditions, to. Rheumatoid arthritis, depression, autism, and many other conditions may be improved by taking omega 3 EFA's. They are necessary for growth and development, especially in the development of nervous tissue, and may improve cognitive function and emotional health.Omega 6 fatty acids compete for enzymes with omega 3 EFA's, so the amounts of the two need to be properly balanced. Less research has been done on omega 6 EFA's than on omega 3's. Most omega 6 fatty acids produce an inflammatory response that may be necessary for healthy immune system function. Research is beginning to indicate that one omega 6 EFA is, however, a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, and may be even more important for healthy hearts than omega 3 oils.Omega 9, as mentioned, is not an essential fatty acid. Omega 9 oils are monounsaturated, and are found in olive oil. Olive oil is known to have beneficial health effects, and omega 9 oils may be necessary for healthy immune system functioning.here are the benefits:The benefits of omega 3 6 9 include all of the benefits of all three types of fatty acid. The amounts and ratios of each fatty acid are balanced to optimal levels of each. Taking an omega 3 6 9 supplement is a good way to ensure that you are getting essential nutrients for your good health. Pure EPA is a fantastic balance of omega 3 6 9 !here are other reasons to take Omega complex:Certain fats are defined as "essential" because:1. The body cannot make them;2. They are required for normal cell, tissue, gland, and organ function, for health, and for life;3. They must be provided from outside the body, through food or supplements;4. They can come only from fats (hence fat-free diets cannot supply them);5. Their absence from the diet will eventually kill;6. Deficiency results in progressive deterioration, can lead to death;7. Return of essential fatty acids to a deficient diet reverses the symptoms of deficiency and results in a return to health.WHAT HAPPENS WE WE DON'T GET ENOUGH GOOD FATS?The short answer is: Every part of the body gradually deteriorates and falls apart. No cell, tissue, gland, or organ can function normally without them. Here is a longer list:* Dry skin* Constipation* Low energy levels* Brittle hair and hair loss* Poor nail growth* Deterioration of liver and kidneys* Behavioral changes due to brain deterioration* Glands dry up* Immune system deteriorates, resulting in more infections, poorer wound healing, and increased cancer* Digestion problems, inflammation, bloating, allergies, autoimmune conditions* Bone mineral loss* Reproductive failure: sterility in males and miscarriage in females* Retarded growth of children* Tingling in arms and legs due to nerve deterioration* Vision and learning problems* Insulin resistance* Increased risk of overweight* Increased cancer risk* Increased cardiovascular risk* Decreased ability to cope with stress* In mental illness, increased symptoms* Decreased lung function* Decreased tissue oxidationWHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS?Essential fatty acids have many functions throughout the body. They are involved in:* Energy production. In a study with athletes in Denmark, it was shown that within one month of giving athletes one tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day of an oil blend with an Omega-3: Omega-6 ratio of 2:1, stamina increased by up to 40 or even 60%. Athletes could exercise longer before reaching exhaustion, recovered more quickly from fatigue, could exercise more often without over-training, healed quicker from injuries, built muscle faster, and had less joint pain.Energy improvement is also seen in non-athletes and older people. The EFA blend also improves mental stamina.* Brain Function. In work with the blended oil, consistent improvements were seen in brain function, and research with EFAs from other sources has also shown brain benefits. Among these are elevated mood, lifted depression, increased calmness, better handling of stress, less hyperactivity, better focus, better mental processing, faster learning, increased intelligence, better concentration, and improved motor coordination.Among the mentally ill, EFAs can decrease hallucinations in schizophrenics, elevate mood, lift depression, improve symptoms in bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and improve brain function in Alzheimer's disease and autism.EFAs are also required for vision.* Skin, Hair, and Nails. EFAs are required for healthy skin and hair, and are required for normal nail growth. They moisturize skin and prevent dryness.* Cancer. Omega-3 EFAs may lower cancer risk.* Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Omega 3 can decrease most CVD risk factors, including high triglycerides (blood fats), blood pressure, platelet stickiness, fibrinogen, and lipoprotein(a). N-3 also keep the inside of our arteries smooth. N-3 and N-6 keep the heart beat regular.* Diabetes. EFAs are required for insulin function. Omega-3 make diabetics more insulin-sensitive.* Weight Management. Omega-6 slightly and Omega-3 more effectively help reduce fat production in the body. They also increase fat burning and heat production in the body, and shift the body from burning glucose to burning fats. Saturated, monounsaturated, and trans- fatty acids do not help to manage weight. Sugar triggers increased fat production in the body. Starch can also lead to overweight.* Digestion. EFAs improve gut integrity, decrease gut inflammation, and decrease "leaky gut" that can lead to allergies.* Allergies. EFAs reduce symptoms of allergies. They work best if digestive enzymes rich in protein-digesting protease are also used.* Inflammation. Omega-3 reduce inflammation. Digestive enzymes are also helpful.* Autoimmune Conditions. Omega-3 dampen the over-response of the immune system in autoimmune conditions. Again, enzymes are also helpful.* Injury. EFAs speed the healing of injuries.* Bone Minerals. Omega 3 oils improve bone mineral retention, thereby inhibiting the development of osteoporosis.* Stress. EFAs, by optimizing serotonin production, improve response to stress. People report feeling calmer, getting stressed less easily, dealing with stressful situations more calmly, and losing their temper less often.* Sleep. EFAs improve sleep in some people.* Hormones. EFAs improve hormone functions. Hormone levels may decrease, yet the effects of hormones remain normal. EFAs thereby ease the work load of glands.* Organs. EFAs are required for liver and kidney function.* Reproduction. EFAs are required for sperm formation, the female cycle, and pregnancy.

This has a lemon flavor, quite nice. Not fishy at all

Because it’s liquid it’s easily absorbed. There’s no aftertaste there’s basically no taste at all.

This product was recommended by my eye doctor for being one of the purest and best ways to treat dry eye.

The very first time I took this. I mixed it with grape juice, bad idea! It made the taste stronger and made me almost regret taking this in liquid form by mixing it. I know the benefits of Fish Oil so I was looking for a Manufacturer that was rated high in quality. I asked my Doctor and this brand is in the top 3 he mentioned. The other 2 I couldn't recall their names now, but I remember when I was researching I didn't see many reviews. Then I read alot of helpful reviews on Amazon and online, but for Nordic Naturals. I compared the Positives and Negatives (Negatives: Fishy taste even though lemon flavored (hardly) and you wouldn't be able to take this on vacation if it's opened-needs refridgeration plus bottle to big. Cap is not so great after liquid is left on rim when you close it so you have to wipe well). Then tried for myself. I wish they had a dropper that came with it and a better cap though because the contents are very thick. You have to keep it in the Fridge after opening it. However, not giving up by day 3 I took it and ate afterwards so it made the whole fishy taste go away. I just pour a tspn and toss it to the back of my throat avoiding my tongue once daily. Drink water or OJ and eat. I do feel like its helped my digestion compared to taking this in pill form. With the pill form, I felt like I had fish burps like it wasn't digested-Costco brand. My skin is better too, but I'm not sure if that's just because I haven't been in the sun lately. I paid $46.70 on Amazon and regular price is $54.95.It was shipped to me wrapped well so cap/seal was protected.

Great ProductHelp my kids improve speech and eye contact

The picky eater likes this and is willing to take it daily without fuss. The fish flavor is super light, and the lemon is light enough but still present enough to mask the light fish flavor. I will definitely purchase this again! I am so happy to have found something that works for the picky eater!

Y*U*K!"You know is it good for you because it tastes so nasty/hurts so much!" Is what my grandma used to tell me when I was a kid and would balk at taking meds.(I'm from the "a spoonful of cod liver oil/ dab some mercurochrome on it.....and all is good" generations. Nasty tasting/stinky meds.... not something new for me.)She was right and seems the worse it tastes the better it is for us.I add a tea spoon of organic lemon or lime juice to it, gulp it down like a shooter ( it smells like an oyster shooter, which is fine for me, I love oysters, to bad it doesn't taste like an oyster shooter!)Then I have something handy to chew on right after I get it down to help get rid of the after taste. I've found a chuck of bell pepper, a few bites of carrot, works great to get rid of the after tastes quick.I wouldn't put myself thru taking this *UGH REALLY REALLY UGH* if I didn't think it is working. I started taking it at the recommendation of my doctor (Not this brand, just this type of oil combo) to lower my "ify" not over where it should be but really close to being over .... LDL.About seven weeks into using it and my LDL has dropped to a healthy level.I also noticed my skin looks brighter and the mild darkness under my eyes is clearing up. I am a 56 year old female who is trying to clean up after some not great habits as a younger person and I do think this is making a difference in my overall health. I skipped a week over the new year, forgot to take it with me on a road trip and I noticed my skin lost some of the brightness and the darkness started to show back up under my eyes.It earns the five stars......even as nasty as it tastes.
