TAHIROVegan Omega-3 Softgels - Plant-Based Supplement with DPA, DHA & EPA - Nutrients for Men, Women and Pregnant Women - Supports Brain Health - Prenatal & Joint Supplements, 1000mg

*Disclaimer*: I haven't been using these long enough to see benefits, and I'm not sure it's realistic to actually *notice* the benefits of something like this, or to tease those apart from other lifestyle factors - e.g. "am I more focused because I'm supplementing with omega-3, or is it that I've been getting better sleep, drinking less caffeine late in the day, exercising, etc?"That said, I've read that at least one study showed that women who took omega-3 supplements during pregnancy gave birth to children with higher IQs - apologies for not being able to reference the study, but I read this in Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. This was more than enough to get me interested! I bought these particular supplements due to my understanding (I am not a biologist!) that the particular fatty acids they contain, EPA and DHA, are of "greater physiological potency" (wikipedia) than ALA, which is often found in plant-derived supplements. If you're on a plant-based diet, it is difficult to obtain these fatty acids, so I decided to try supplementing.Note that the bottle recommends you refrigerate after opening! It took me about a week to find that on the label. Don't follow in my footsteps.Finally, I'd definitely recommend following research on omega-3 supplementation and always incorporating a healthy dose of skepticism in your daily vitamin regimen.

I am very happy with the product. Does not taste bad after taking it and does not smell bad. And it is important for me to have a vegan product.

Our brains need DHA and EPA omega 3s. Our bodies can inefficiently convert ALA from plant sources like walnuts, but you can't meet your requirement through this conversion process. If you aren't eating seafood on a regular basis, and if you want to minimize your exposure to pollution, take this supplement.

I can tell this is a well derived nutrient of high quality by the way it makes my body feel. However, it has a very strong fishy Aftertaste which seems confusing given other reviews praised it for not having that downside. Perhaps there was a tablet that leaked and contaminated the whole, I don't know. The smell was so bad that it would linger on my hand. Yuk.

I think it’s really helpful supplement, complex looks good. It also has an attractive design and convenient capsule size, easy to swallow. The price is nice.

Citrus scent and flavor is fab

Love love love! Great quality vegan omegasI’m a personal trainer and nutritionist.

I just received the two-bottle order I placed a few days ago. I opened the first bottle and poured a number of the soft gels out into my palm to begin placing them in a daily pill organizer. I then realized that all the soft gels in the bottle were coated with a smelly, greasy, sticky substance that transferred also to any other surface the soft gels make contact with. One of the soft gels in the bottle had apparently broken open. The second bottle did not have the same problem. The foul smell on my hands from handling the soft gels in the first bottle could not be removed with hand soap. The smell was not as foul as a fishy smell, but foul nonetheless. I'm not sure now that I will take any at all, whether the bottle has a broken soft gel in it or not. Disappointed.Update: I received a replacement for the bottle with the broken capsule about 3 days later. It contained no broken capsules, any oily, sticky mess, or foul odor. I changed my rating from a 1 to a 3 for the quick corrective action.
