Always GREAT! WORKS

Great value for money.

good product

These pills are massive so if you struggle to take pills you would want to avoid these big boys. So far no complaints and will be buying again once I run out.

Update:I started keeping my bottle in the freezer, and have had no more problems with the pills sticking together, and also no more problems with fishy burps. Updated my rating to 4 stars.Original review:I purchased these softgels because they have a good ratio of DHA to EPA, and because they were comparatively affordable. However, just a short time after I received the bottle, all the pills started clumping together. I thought maybe they got too warm in my drawer, so started keeping them in the fridge, but this didn't make a difference, and the problem continued to get worse.At this point, I've had the bottle for two months, and all of the pills are in one huge clump stuck in the bottle. I have to painstakingly reach into the bottle and try to pry off each pill individually. Often, they break open when I'm trying to get them out, so there is fish oil all over the bottom of the bottle, and I can no longer turn the bottle upside-down over my hand, or else all the fish oil pours out over everything. My husband complains that I always smell like fish oil now, because it doesn't really come off your hands.I'm very displeased with this, and will look for another brand next time I restock. The lower price doesn't hold up when you lose so many of the pills to breaking open in the bottle. I've used the 5,000 IU Vitamin D-3 softgels from NOW Foods for years, and never had this problem before.On the plus side, I don't have any unpleasant side effects from taking these DHA-500 softgels, other than the occasional fishy burp soon after taking one. If it wasn't for them sticking together so badly and breaking open in the bottle, I'd buy them again. Too bad...

I’ve been on this kind of supplement since I was 24, 40 now and I have the best cholesterol levels I’ve ever seen in myself or my patients. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

These DHA vitamins are great for pregnant or nursing women! I took them while pregnant and just ordered another bottle now that I am nursing. These have no taste, are easy to swallow, and I've never noticed a fishy aftertaste. As stated on the bottle, "The natural fish oil concentrate used in this softgel is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (i.e. Mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxins, and other contaminants)."I had been taking Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA (Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA - Unflavored - 180 Softgels) early in my pregnancy but switched to these when I ran out. I will continue to purchase the NOW brand DHA from now on for a few reasons:- These are enteric-coated and odor-controlled so they are easier to swallow and do not have any odor to them (which was super helpful during early pregnancy when I was very sensitive to strong flavors and scents).- These pills do not get "sticky" in the bottle like the Nordic Naturals do- You only have to take one pill to get 500mg of DHA. You need 2 pills of the Nordic Naturals to get just 450mg of DHA.- The price point for the NOW brand is significantly lower than Nordic Naturals, especially if you factor in the serving size (as noted above, you'll need to take 2 of the Nordic Natural pills to get to about the same amount of DHA as just one NOW brand pill)Very happy with these and will stick to this brand for the duration of my time nursing (and for any future pregnancies!)

My family and I love these supplements. They are reasonably priced and have great ingredients. I will continue to use
