Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor, Squeeze Packets, 90-Count Box

I love the orange flavor. Taking this product for your overall health is so easy. You can take it with yogurt or just squeeze it out of the packet. Takes like an orangesicle ice cream. If you can't stand the fish capsules, try this product. Great for kids, too.

After trying many many fish oil products, this is the only one that I can tolerate. No burping or nausea and I do not continue to taste it for hours. Consumerlabs.com tested this and gave it good ratings with no mercury. It is easy to take and carry. Has stevia which is a natural sweetener that does not raise blood sugar. Highly recommend!

There are many other benefits to fish oil, including being useful in the treatment of a number of forms of depression, and many physicians recommend it for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. But the problem for many is that they find the capsules to be intolerable for one reason: fish oil burps.

The Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor, Squeeze Packets seem to eliminate that problem for most. It's packaged in convenient daily dose pudding-like squeeze packets. I personally like the taste of this and the lemon-lime variety (see below), but if one doesn't, they can easily be mixed with blended drinks or added to yogurt. These Coromega products contain top quality fish oil from deep, cold-water fish, which is said to be the best kind.

It should also be noted that low levels of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been connected to various forms of depression, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and Alzheimer's disease. Various studies have revealed that brains of Alzheimer's patients have 30 percent less DHA than brains of comparably aged people who do not have the disease.

A couple of years ago my optometrist advised that I take fish oil capsules on a daily basis to help ward off macular degeneration. For those who don't know, this is a condition that occurs when the macula (the area at the back of the retina that produces the sharpest vision) weakens over time.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness among older adults in the US, and is said to affect over 7 million individuals older than 40 years. The frequency of AMD is likely to increase as the population ages. There is currently no known way to prevent the condition, but research has begun to identify potentially modifiable risk factors and nutrient-based treatments. More info on this can be found here:

In any case, if your health care practitioner has suggested fish oil as a treatment, this product is a tasty alternative to the capsules. It can also be found in other flavors, such as Coromega Omega-3 Fish Oil, Lemon Lime, 90 ct and Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor with a Hint of Chocolate, 90 packets.

There are "good" and "bad" fats, and Omega-3 fatty acids are considered one of the "good" fats important for cellular, heart and metabolic health, along with being good for the eyes. DHA is one of those fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system, along with maintaining triglyceride levels already within a normal range.

There are healthy and tasty alternatives to the fish oil capsules for many of us... and without the fish oil burps.

The service was very good and the price BUT I taste the orange for a long time after I take it. That is a disappointment.

Pediatrician referred us to this for my special needs son. She and others in the office also use it.
