DHA Xtra, 1660mg Omega-3, Fish Oil with EPA and DHA, Strawberry Flavour, 60 Softgels, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO

Overview of Nordic Naturals DHA Xtra: + Nordic Naturals is a very reputable brand, known for their use of pure, high quality ingredients. + This Omega-3 supplement is comprised of bioavailable DHA 960mg and EPA 410mg which is a great amount for optimal health benefits. + The supplements have been screened for heavy metals to ensure purity. + There is no fishy aftertaste, unlike most Omega-3 supplements. + Omega-3 is important for pregnancy to help brain and eye development of the baby. I took these Nordic Naturals supplements while pregnant with my son after several miscarriages and he was my first live birth. I believe the medications I took this time round were what made the difference, but I am sure the Omega-3 was also beneficial to his development. + Omega-3 is also important for eye health. I developed dry eye disease around six months ago, and have been taking these supplements again (alongside drops and IPL treatment) to boost my eye health as much as possible. - I would prefer these supplements in gummie form, as they are quite large pills so can be hard to swallow although they're very smooth. They sometimes make me gag slightly, although they're definitely easier to swallow than other tablets without a smooth coating. - I would prefer a glass bottle, as it's more sustainable. - They are pretty expensive. CONCLUSION: If you want the best quality Omega-3, I can definitely recommend these supplements. You might not feel any different for taking them, but Omega-3 is undoubtedly beneficial for brain and eye health, and foetal development. However, they are pricey, so it's worth considering more affordable brands too - there are plenty of good ones. Just make sure the brand is rigorous about heavy metal testing, as that's not something you want to be consuming, especially if you're pregnant.

Love this product - do very a very strong aftertaste of strawberry but notice great cognitive benefits. Very easy to take and smell fantastic - no fish aftertaste at all - overall great value for money.

Amazing for concentration. I give one to my 11 year old every day along with zinc. His teacher cannot believe how his concentration and school work has improved. She says he no longer stares out the window too.

This is a really good quality product sourced from small fish (less exposure to heavy metals and accumulated toxins found in cod and larger, longer-living and deep sea fish). Also, these are wild fish, not farmed. It has very high amounts of EPA and DHA which are the critical elements in fish oil. So excellent product. No fish taste comes back at you after taking - or at least, not on me. Personally can't taste any strawberry just a plain capsule. Easy to swallow. I'm giving 5 stars for the quality although as you can see from the photo, there is A LOT of excess plastic packaging. This comes about half-filled.... You'd think a company sourcing ocean fish would be much more conscious of plastic waste:( Nordic Naturals is known of being one of the best fish oil brands available. This is 60 capsules which is recommended at 2 per day, so 30 days supply. For comparison, 2 capsules of this provide the same levels of EPA (410mg) and DHA (960mg) as 8 of my old capsules. So these are very high potency compared with most brands. Hope that helps!

These are part of my fitness regime and they work for me.

This Omega-3 DHA supplement contains 60 Soft-Gels with a recommended dosage of 2 Soft-Gels a day giving 30 days supply. The Soft-Gels come in a container 4.25 inches high (11cm) by 2.3 inches across (6cm). The Soft-Gels have an expiry date 31 months after delivery (just over 2.5 years). When opening the container and holding to the nose, there is a distinct pleasant but artificial smelling berry smell. The Soft-Gels themselves are quite large. About the size of a multi vitamin. They have a pleasant though slightly artificial smell of berrys. They are easy to swallow and have a small but noticeable pleasant strawberry flavour and a small amount of short lasting pleasant aftertaste. The fish oil itself contains fish oils from sardines and anchovies. The supplement contains both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). I am at an age where I particularly interested in ensuring brain health and brain function and I am interested in these supplements because of the potential benefits I may get in that area. The container itself is recyclable. The product is manufactured in the US. The product is also gluten free.

This is the first time that I have had Omega 3 with strawberry flavour. I am happy to say that the strawberry flavour is pleasant and works well at reducing the fish oil aftertaste. I like that the capsules are both gluten- and soy-free, and that they use natural strawberry flavouring. I also like that the supplement contains high levels of EPA and DHA, as these are vital to maintaining good health and supporting muscle activity. The soft gel capsules are small and easy to swallow and do not leave any unpleasant aftertaste. The bottle contains sixty soft gel capsules, with a recommendation to take two a day, so this supplement will last for one month. It is a little expensive, but the good-quality ingredients and high levels of the most important omega-3 fatty acids make it worth the price. I am happy with this good quality supplement and will get it again when it runs out.

These Omega 3 capsules at the recommended daily dosage of 2 capsules provide a good amount of EPA and DHA, the two important fatty acids that Omega 3 contains. Looking at competing products this is amongst the highest daily dosage available. I’m not sure what the advantage of them having a strawberry flavour might be as I tend to swallow them with a glass of water, but at least one is not hit by the fishy smell that my current capsules have when taking the lid off the container. In fact that initial smell is quite pleasant. As an aside, these capsules, being produced from sardine and anchovy fish oils, apparently will be lower in vitamins A and D then the equivalent cod liver oil source of Omega 3 where these vitamins are naturally occurring, however taking a concurrent multi vitamin will make that somewhat irrelevant. As with many soft gel capsules the gelatin based casing means that these are not for strict pescatarians, but apart from those riders these seem to be a good alternative for increasing your Omega 3 intake with all the health benefits that holds, perhaps making up for the rather high cost of these capsules compared to many others offering a lower daily dose. I think they are worthy of 4 stars given the high dosage and attempt to make fish oil palatable in spite of a comparatively rather high current price.
