Reviews

High Potency Omega-3s with Some Compliance Challenges

"As a professional in the health and nutrition industry, I appreciate the high-potency profile of Carlson Elite Omega-3 Gems, providing 1,600 mg of Omega-3s from wild Norwegian fish oil. From a purity and concentration standpoint, the quality is undeniable. However, from a user-experience perspective, the softgels are quite large and can be difficult to swallow. I also experienced some persistent "fishy" aftertaste and heartburn throughout the day. While the nutritional value is excellent, those with a sensitive system or difficulty with larger pills should take them with a heavy meal to minimize the reflux. It is a solid, professional-grade product that requires some adjustment for comfortable daily use."

I have used Carlson Elite
