Thanks Mark and Jbuckl,

So far so good on day one. As long as I take the pills one at a time I don't mind swallowing them. I do plan, though, to take them with meals.

It took me awhile to find a brand that met Dr. Lewis's standards. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong areas.

He calls for 600mg DHA/EPA combined but doesn't get more specific than that. I'll take a look at DHA and what it represents in terms of potential healing power. The Omega 3's I picked up are easily over 600mg DHA/EPA combined so I guess that's good.

How about the Triglycerides vs. Ethyl Esters thing?

Dr. Lewis suggests Triglyceride form but VitaCost is Ethyl Ester. In a well written and sourced article at the link below an author writes, "...the majority of research supports significantly increased absorption and bioavailability of EPA and DHA from triglycerides".

Any thoughts?
