Customer Reviews of Carlson Laboratories - Super Omega-3 Fish Oils, 1000 mg, 250 softgels
Customer Review: These were the only brand I found that stated no detecable levels of mercury - which is critical while pregnant.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am taking fish oil while pregnant on the advice of an allergist. Taking fish oil while pregnant has recently been linked to lower rates of allergies in children who have a family history. These were the only brand I found that stated no detecable levels of mercury - which is critical while pregnant. My doctor also recommened freezing them - it cuts down on the fishy after taste.Customer Review: it is a pity the shipping rate is so high to australia.

Summary: 5 Stars
Omega-3 fatty acids from our foods (or through supplementation) are important because our bodies do not have the enzymes necessary to create these long-chain fatty acids.
The major omega-3 fatty acids are:
ALA, (alpha) linolenic acid
EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid
DHA, docosahexaenoic acid
Supplemental Omega 3 Oils:
Many people desire to supplement their omega-3 fatty acid intake with dietary supplements. These supplements generally contain flaxseed oil or fish oil.
Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid but no EPA and DHA
Marine algae sources produce only DHA and no EPA
Cold water marine fish oil contains primarily EPA and DHA
The preferred form of omega-3 fatty acids is triglycerides from fish oil. It is the most bioavailable form. Another positive about omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplements is that most of the contaminants, such as harmful PCBs and metals, have been removed during the purification process. Recently, Harvard Medical School researchers studied commercially available omega-3 fish oil supplements and found that they have only "negligible amounts of mercury". Further, they state: "The additional benefit of fatty acids from fish oil is that large doses of Omega-3 fatty acids can be ingested easily in a capsule without the risk of toxicity".
It is important to note that you should always buy omega-3 nutritional supplements with antioxidants. Antioxidants keep your omega-3 supplements fresh and when combined with vitamin E and/or other antioxidants you will decrease or eliminate the incidences of "fish burps".
Benefits of Omega-3 Oils:
Omega-3 fatty acid (oil) supplements may reduce cardiovascular events (death, non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes) if taken in suficient quantities. They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the heart arteries) in coronary patients. While increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake through foods is preferable, most people may not be able to get enough omega-3 by diet alone. Thus, folks who are interested in Omega 3 oils may want to talk to their doctor about taking a supplement such as this one. Supplements may also help people with high triglyceride levelss, who need even larger doses. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular disease are so well demonstrated that the American Heart Association has published statements since 1996 recommending increased fish intake and/or omega-3 supplements.
In addition, Omega-3 oils help reduce inflammation and are therefore good for those with rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis.
The standard dose of Omega-3 oils is 1-3 grams per day. Generally this is 3 tablets, one with each meal.

Customer Review: So far the only product that was certified Mercury free was available from my medical doctor by a prescription.
Summary: 1 Stars
Mercury contamination is a VERY big deal especially if you are going to take a product "for life", are pregnant or a child.
Many fish oil products have Mercury contamination and are NOT filtered. This product does not state that it is Mercury free.
So far the only product that was certified Mercury free was available from my medical doctor by a prescription.
