OmegaViaEPA 500, Purified Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplement, 500 mg EPA in Triglyceride Form, Burpless Fish Oil, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, IFOS 5-Star, 120 Softgels

I've recently started taking various supplements, including two Omega-3 Fish Oil products - this OmegaVia EPA 500 mg supplement, and another product from OmegaVia - their higher dosage supplement which contains a total of 1105 mg Omega-3 (780 mg EPA, 260 mg DHA, and 65 mg 'other' Omega-3). The various forms of Omega-3 are all needed in order to obtain the desired benefits, and this product adds to the EPA form of Omega-3 also provided in the other OmegaVia product to provide a very effective total dosage of all forms of Omega-3. I take one gel of each daily.There are a wide variety of Omega-3 supplement products available on Amazon and elsewhere. I selected this product for the following reasons:- this Omega-3 supplement is independently tested for purity and potency by IFOS - the "International Fish Oil Standards Program" - to provide assurance that it contains what is claimed. I feel that this is very important.- this is a US-made product- percentage of EPA Omega-3 per capsule is very high (87%) so that the capsule size is not overly large in order to contain the amount of fish oil and Omega-3 to be delivered- capsules are enteric coated- cost per capsule is reasonable and competitiveFor a very comprehensive technical comparison of this product to other Omega-3 supplements available on Amazon, I recommend reading RWM's review. He has provided a very extensive analysis.I'm also impressed that OmegaVia has a very informative website with considerable information on the company and its products (the website does not yet include this EPA 500 product, which is new, but the company has assured me that it will be updated to include information on this product shortly). The company executives are all identified, the company address is given, and contact information is provided. This is a welcome display of transparency in an industry where many companies seem to be selling questionable products and provide very limited information regarding their operations. The company also sells direct from their website - pricing is competitive with Amazon if you order multiple quantities, and shipping is free.I have not yet used these supplements for sufficient time to determine whether or not they are effective in reducing my triglycerides as claimed. I do not have a triglycerides problem but decided to take supplements as part of an overall program to improve my health and avoid problems as I grow older. I will update this review in 6 months or so if there is anything significant to mention regarding any effect I may see in my own health.

I can't say enough good things about this fish oil. It's been an absolute game-changer in my daily routine, and I've seen noticeable differences in my overall well-being.First and foremost, it's fantastic that these capsules don't give me any unpleasant fish burps or have a bad taste. They go down easily, and the compact size is convenient for daily use.The quality of this fish oil is top-notch, and I've purchased it over and over again without any issues. I can't stress enough how great these are, and the impact they've had on my health is truly remarkable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality fish oil supplement that delivers results without the unpleasant aftertaste.

As most supplementation begins, my physician recommended a pharmaceutical fish oil product due to my cholesterol issues. As any good consumer, my research began in earnest online and at the market. Fortunately a helpful comprehensive review of over the counter and pharma grade fish oils on Amazon assisted my research with the important information such as potency, price, and quality. After confirming most of the important details, IFOS rating, price, and potency, I decided to try this product for myself. Considering OmegaVia is less expensive and more potent than other leading brands (pharma included!) I can say that any product would be hard pressed to compete with the overall offering of OmegaVia EPA 500. The transaction with OmegaVia was great and I received the product just 2 days after ordering. Upon taking the product I was very pleased to experience - NO fish smell when opening the bottle, NO fishy burp after consuming the recommended dosage (which is common with other products), and as a welcomed bonus, the size of the soft gel is fraction of other fish oil pills and is easy to swallow too :). Not to mention that this product is not only rated higher than the Pharma products by an unbiased 3rd party, but it is less expensive as well. While quality is most important me, price and performance are the icing on the cake. Figure out what is important to you and do your research as there is no need to pay more for similar or inferior products on the market. Also, worth noting - as part of my research I had a couple questions so I contacted the manufacturer through the OmegaVia web site. The company responded to me right away and went above and beyond the call of duty by answering all of my questions very thoughtfully. For my money, I give this company and product my highest recommendation - I can wait to check my cholesterol numbers :)!
