TAHIRO Vegan Omega-3 Softgels - Plant-Based Supplement with DPA, DHA & EPA - Nutrients for Men, Women and Pregnant Women - Supports Brain Health - Prenatal & Joint Supplements, 1000mg

*Disclaimer*: I haven't been using these long enough to see benefits, and I'm not sure it's realistic to actually *notice* the benefits of something like this, or to tease those apart from other lifestyle factors - e.g. "am I more focused because I'm supplementing with omega-3, or is it that I've been getting better sleep, drinking less caffeine late in the day, exercising, etc?"That said, I've read that at least one study showed that women who took omega-3 supplements during pregnancy gave birth to children with higher IQs - apologies for not being able to reference the study, but I read this in Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. This was more than enough to get me interested! I bought these particular supplements due to my understanding (I am not a biologist!) that the particular fatty acids they contain, EPA and DHA, are of "greater physiological potency" (wikipedia) than ALA, which is often found in plant-derived supplements. If you're on a plant-based diet, it is difficult to obtain these fatty acids, so I decided to try supplementing.Note that the bottle recommends you refrigerate after opening! It took me about a week to find that on the label. Don't follow in my footsteps.Finally, I'd definitely recommend following research on omega-3 supplementation and always incorporating a healthy dose of skepticism in your daily vitamin regimen.

I am very happy with the product. Does not taste bad after taking it and does not smell bad. And it is important for me to have a vegan product.

Citrus scent and flavor is fab

I can tell this is a well derived nutrient of high quality by the way it makes my body feel. However, it has a very strong fishy Aftertaste which seems confusing given other reviews praised it for not having that downside. Perhaps there was a tablet that leaked and contaminated the whole, I don't know. The smell was so bad that it would linger on my hand. Yuk.

I think it’s really helpful supplement, complex looks good. It also has an attractive design and convenient capsule size, easy to swallow. The price is nice.

I purchased these omega 3 capsules because I read online that fish actually get their omega 3 from plants. I always thought that the fish created the omega 3 themselves, but they actually get it from their diet so this is technically straight from the source.I prefer to eat vegan whenever possible so I figured I'd give it a try.Essentially these are pretty much exactly like fish oil caps. I get the same level of burps and I feel the same as I do on fish oil, but these are vegan.So if you're like me and prefer the vegan option these are for you, but I wouldn't put them above fish oil. They make me feel the same and the burps are the same as well. I don't really have much of a problem with the burps because I always take them with food anyway and its incredibly mute, but these aren't 100% "fishy burp free." Good enough for me though I'd recommend.

No super-fishy taste, smooth pill that is easy to swallow, nice packaging/graphic design, etc. So far, I like it :>

Personally I can't tell a difference but my partner (who eats more poorly of a diet than I do) can tell the difference in cognitive function and joint pain.
