Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA Fish Oil, Sesame Lignans & Olive Extract - For Heart & Brain Health – For Inflammation & Cholesterol Management – Gluten-Free, Non-GMO – Lemon Flavor 120 Softgels

I noticed that among Highest 5-Star Rated IFOS certified oil - this product was the lowest priced - high quality product. (Especially, compared to other 5-Star Rated fish oils).I guess I have a little O.C.D. when it comes to taking supplements on daily basis. I am very leery of the claims made by the hundreds of products in the market - so I did some research:If you are going to take a supplement every day for the rest of your life, how can you be sure you are not getting dangerous toxins in the fish? How can you make sure you are getting the actual dosage and quality that are listed on the label?Answer: IFOS Independent Certification. This is what separates the "Best" from all the "Others" that you might find at Walmart or Target. The IFOS is an independent Canadian company that tests fish oils. Their most popular reports are the 5 Star Ratings Reports.[...]IFOS certified fish oil - as recommend by Dr. Sears - "Zone Diet" and "Anti-inflammatory Nutrition" [...]Dr. Sears warns us to pay attention to what we buy. This is a pharmaceutical fish oil preliminarily tested by International Fish Oil Standards program (IFOS). The AHA's lab studies certified that all brands of pharmaceutical fish oil, even the cheapest, were free from toxins, at the moment of testing. But some of them did not meet the doses advertised on the label.Here is another link that was helpful:What are IFOS Fish Oils?[...]These are ultra high grade fish oils that have been tested to meet very strict standards of purity and quality.

I got these in hopes to boost the fat in my breast milk. It worked amazingly for it, and I have no complaints on how the product works. The taste isn't fishy when burping, the pills are a little big but oh well. It has made a huge difference in my all around health.Now as for the packaging. I have no idea what happened the first bottle was perfect. But this second bottle I bought has several broken pills in it which sucks considering the cost. And I couldn't send it back because I needed them right that moment. It coated all the other ones too so I can't put it in a pill case with my other pills or they desolve them. I'm hoping it was a one off situation. Like I said 120 pills but 40 of them were broken open.But I can't give them lower then a 5 star rating in my opinion because their product actually works! Just poopie bottle lol.

I don't know whether these are helping do the things they're supposed to do, but they don't bother my stomach or taste fishy, and that's a good thing. They are BIG (BLACK!) capsules that are a full inch long if anyone has problems with a bigger capsule. I don't, they go down with no problems and have no aftertaste. They have the combination of EPA/DHA and sesame lignans I've read are important, however, they also have maltodextrin and caramel color in them and I wish they didn't. I will eventually go on the hunt for another supplement that doesn't have these additives.EDITED 12/2015.....I just want to say that these are miracle workers! I developed some stomach problems for awhile,and I stopped taking all my supplements because absolutely everything was bothering me. That lasted a few weeks, and I managed to get out of the habit of taking my supplements again. About 3 months later, I developed what I thought was terrible arthritis in my hands...they ached, cramped and I also developed "trigger finger" in both thumbs and a couple fingers. I'm in my 50's and literally felt crippled. My family would have to open a water bottle for me, I couldn't even unscrew it!! Door knobs were difficult to open, I was often in pain. Then one day I realized I hadn't been taking my supplements (never giving my hands a thought) and resumed my routine.....2 of these in the morning, and 2 at night (among others). About a month or so later, I noticed my hands were much better and sometimes I could open the water bottle without calling for help! Another month or so down the road, and I realized that WOW, MY HANDS ARE HEALED! The incredibly painful trigger fingers are gone, and the arthritis pains are, too.
