this is the best tasting fish oil I have gotten so far, is it a good quality product? it has omega 6's and omega 9's too(dont really know what that means) the jarrow formulas liquid fish oil is a good product but the taste is disgusting.
I found out that if you want to take fish oil and get enough DHA you hafta go with a liquid formula(or now fish oil, if you wanna take gel capsules but i figured out that now's fish oil products are hard to swallow and the capsules are harder than say a GNC brand.)

jarrow formulas epa/dha levels are 425-600mg/740-850 respectively. the daily dosage is 1 tsp(and thats all you need cuz it packs a punch and is gross.)

this lemon zest barlean's swirly version is decent at epa365/dha365 mg respectively. so if i wanted more epa and dha i'd have to pump it up to 3 or 4 tsps a day, all the while id be getting more omega 6 and 9 too. the daily dosage recommended is 2 teaspoons a day. would it be ok if i took 3 teaspoons instead? most products say or as directed by your doctor, this doesn't. it's a very thick, viscous liquid, unlike the jarrow's fish oil liquid. so it goes down easier, and tastes better.

bumpity bump again my question simply is is this a good fish oil product? and would 3 teaspoons instead of 2 teaspons a day be bad?

Sorry... I'd answer if I knew the answer. MrsD is the authority here on EFA's, but she's on vacation. She checks in occassionally when she can find computer access. Meanwhile... maybe you will find this helpful?

I'm quite sure Barleans is a reputable brand name, but don't really know anything about the formulations...

I did use Barleans Flaxseed oil for a time... but that is neither here nor there.

I'm not sure if this applies to fish oil products, but some vitamins are water soluble and some are not.
since it is fish oil - I assume it would be fat soluble.

[Water-soluble

Water-soluble vitamins dissolve easily in water, and in general, are readily excreted from the body, to the degree that urinary output is a strong predictor of vitamin consumption.[13] Because they are not readily stored, consistent daily intake is important.[14] Many types of water-soluble vitamins are synthesized by bacteria.[15]

Fat-soluble

Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids (fats). Because they are more likely to accumulate in the body, they are more likely to lead to hypervitaminosis than are water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamin regulation is of particular significance in cystic fibrosis.[16]]

omega 3 is not a fat soluble vitamin, omega 3 is a healthy fat that's used in the body.
your thinking of vitamin D, which is a fat soluble vitamin.

I am not sure but I thought with the pills the only concern of taking more is stomach upset and also if your bruise because of bleeding I think. Have you looked into flaxseed oil cause you could add that to veggies etc just make sure you don't put it in the pan first cause then you can't use the omegas as well I think.

yeah i never had that happen to me before, yah i may supplement my regular fish oil, with some flaxseed oil, that sounds like a good idea.

another question that was posted shortly after mrs D left for vaca.

again, the questions are at the top^^

Sounds like you know exactly what you are talking about. I don't ask myself the hard questions you do, but I do prefer a gel cap.

i ask mrs D the harder ones....lol
