Great Product - EASY to SWALLOW Small Softgels
"I'm very happy with these NOW brand Omega-3 fish oil mini-gel caps.
I've wanted to take fish-oil based Omega-3 capsules for many years
now, but have never purchased or tried any until I discovered these
NOW mini-gels. I always knew that I'd never be able to swallow the
ginormous size capsules that I've seen in the stores whenever I
checked out the other fish oil products. I don't know how long these
NOW brand mini-gels have been available, but I'm so glad I found them.
They are EASY to SWALLOW and that's a wonderful thing for many of us
who would never attempt taking the huge fish oil capsules that have
traditionally been available. These ones don't have quite as much
Omega-3 as the giant size ones, and the serving size of these is two
capsules for a total of 600 mg Omega-3 (360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA).
But that's perfectly fine with me, as I'm so happy they're easy to
swallow. I've been taking two of them daily, but recently ordered a
few more bottles so I can begin taking three of these daily, which
will provide a total of 900 mg Omega-3. Based on what I've read, it's
generally recommended to take 1,000 mg. daily; but 900 mg will be
perfectly fine for me. The price of these is pretty reasonable so it
wouldn't break the bank to take four if I wanted to :)
Another thing that's important to me is the softgel itself (i.e. the
capsule that holds or contains the supplement) must be Halal, Kosher,
vegetarian or vegan. Some of the other brands state "gelatin" in the
inactive ingredient list without naming the source of the gelatin
(which can be anything: pork/porcine; cow/bovine; or fish and who
knows what else if they don't identify the source specifically). So I
offer a big Thank You to the people at the NOW company for being
sensitive to that issue and showing some respect and regard for those
of us who care about what the capsule, gel-cap or softgel is made
from.
I'm very happy with the product and highly recommend it if you're
looking for a good source of small, easy to swallow Omega-3 gel caps.
And a reliable company with a solid reputation like NOW."
