I am taking fish oil for about 3 years. I have tested multiple iHerb products. This one I chose because high volume of Omega-3 fatty acids and affordable price. Also there is enteric coated capsules that should increase bioavailability 3 times as I heard and avoid burps. While taking the pills I decided to check thoroughly what I am taking. _1) Actually, the capsule is synthetic, in particular methacrylic acid copolymer. I just don’t want to eat this. _2) There is no published scientific research that supports the usefulness of enteric-coating on fish oil softgels for increase Omega-3 absorption. Beside that major research were conducted on people with Crohn’s disease and free fatty acid (FFA) in enteric coated capsules, but not Ethyl Ester (EE), like in this item. _3) I do not like Omega-3 fatty acids as EE-form, I buy it only as cheap option. Omega-3 fatty acids occur naturally in fish in the triglyceride form. Ethyl Ester is derived from natural triglyceride via glycerol substitute by ethanol. Ethyl ester fatty acids does not occur naturally anywhere in human diet. The human body must convert it back into a triglyceride during absorption. The process goes on in liver. Every alcohol filtration process might lead to side effects, the risk increases with the dose growth. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal problems, pancreatitis, change in taste, skin rash. ____ Taking Omega-3 fatty acids is the must have due to modern diet imbalance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 as ~10 : 1 that leads to chronical diseases development. Requires 2 : 1 to be healthy.
