Side by Side Comparison of: Optimum Nutrition

Easy to swallow, and leaves absolutely no fishy after taste. I have taken several different brands of fish oil, and they normally all have some sort of fishy after taste or burps. I have not had any fishy burps or tastes with this product. Directions say you take one pill with a meal, up to 3 times daily. Roughly a 2 month supply. This is a great product at a great price!

I bought this when GNC lowered there mg per pill. They told me there is no reason to take a higher dose, but I can physically see and tell the difference in my body. Mainly my hair/skin. It has not fishy bumps. The pills are on the large size but easy to swallow. I take one per day Monday-Friday and bought this on May 22nd 2017. I still have pills left which is great! I like that when I do need more and can place it on my s & s acct. ON is a brand I trust and my gym now sells.

We've been looking for a good quality fish oil & came along Optimum Nutrition. Since the other Amazon reviews were so good we decided to give them a try. My partner & I will have our my annual health screens in the fall & will update once blood work comes back. On a positive note, these fish oil caplets don't leave a bad taste or cause burping like other fish oils we've taken.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do with ZERO fish burps. This is my third bottle. When I take this with my vitamins consistently I feel better. I trust Optimum Nutrition for most of my supplement needs.

After a year of using this, I am certain that I feel better when I am taking this consistently. Clearer head, less joint pain.

enteric-coated is the way to go. no aftertaste. have ordered/used 10+ bottles

Seems to work as expected.

10/10

My new favorite BCAA! I like taking the capsules rather than having to ingest another scoop full of powder. I use this with PWO and a thermo blend, I notice a faster recovery time when using this and it's affordable which keeps me ordering more

Best BCAA value

Get these. You get a ton of them and they help you recover faster no matter what your favorite exercise is.

Totally worth the price. Exact same BCAA can cost you two to three times in GNC or VitamineShopp. The only thing is that I wish this was 5000mg per serving instead of 1000mg which has nothing to do with the product I should have looked more carefully but will get the 5000mg for sure right after I finish this anyways.

I have taken fish oils in the past and mostly they're just flat out gross. The aftertaste generally is the reason behind that. You just take them for the health benefits. These are not bad at all. No obvious scent or taste about them. I have yet to experience any aftertaste. They seem to work as intended. I give them 4 stars because you are supposed to take 3 pills a day which seems a bit excessive and if you are regularly busy like me you may forget to take them. Plus taking 3 a day means one pill does not have even close to the total amount of supplements from these that you need in a day. So my suggestion is if you were to get these make sure you are going to take all 3 pills each day otherwise they will likely be useless.

Big fan of ON products. Great quality and value. The coating is almost vanilla tasting. Only get fishy taste if I have a hot liquid to quickly afterwards.

best i ever used

No fish burps. Don't make my stomach upset. I can't speak to the efficacy of the product since I don't really feel a difference. (I take a lot of vitamins)

Sometimes this product causes me some acidity and feel the taste of fish oil but has contributed a lot in my training helping me to reduce my body fat faster than usual.

This isn't the #1 supp but since Jym's isn't on here this will have to do. I really like the size of the capsules and the fact that there's no fishy aftertaste like some others I've had in the past. Take 3x with 3 of your meals — I take mine for breakfast, 3rd/4th meal, and 6th meal (shake) before bed.

Only had it about a week but I like how it's working so far.

A quick and easy way to get your BCAAs. The the pills are a little big, so if you have trouble swallowing pills, you might want to avoid these.

great product ... get value

Pretty good. Although, I would rather go with Rebaar by Beldt, which gives you 3 grams of BCAA's, which is 3 times the amount this gives you per dose (you would have to take 6 of these just to get the same amount Rebaar gives you with only 3 tabs).

Easy to take. Much better than powder form.

great for the price. I used them and had decent results. I would recommend.

Many have noted that they have zero "Fish Burps". I wish I could say the same. About 50% of the time I do end up having them. Your mileage may vary.

Just recently got into the realm of fish oil pills at the persistent advice of a friend who is a naturopath. This means that when deciding on what to get, I knew that I should try pills with high DHA/EPA levels, for optimal results. At first I started taking a triple strength, Nature’s Own, but despite my skin looking fantastic, the derivatives that are used for those pills seriously got my stomach in knots almost every day i was taking them. I then tried these Optimum Nutrition Fish Oil, 300 MG, 200 Softgels, and they gave me no burps, but I didn’t feel an immediate difference in my body. Over a couple of weeks I noticed more mobile joints and a stable mood that elevated the effects of another supplement I’m taking. I take Nootropx - Ultimate Brain Vitamin for Limitless Brain - Mental Focus and Concentration with Memory Enhancement Supplement - Unlock Your Brain Potential and Improve Memory Power ( 90 Caps) concurrently with the Fish Oil pills, (they’re for focus and clarity) and the effects of those pills seem to be enhanced by my taking the Optimums. The reason I only give the optimums 3 stars is that even though it’s been a few weeks, I still haven’t seen the same potency in results that I did when I was taking the triple strength pills. So they work, but not that well, and they don’t bother my stomach, which I guess is worth it. Basically, there are better products out there, but dependent upon the sensitivity of your stomach, they may be the right pills for you.

Wish there was a higher concentration of omega 3's.No fish burps.

It's Good

I like this brand very much, but I was not happy with my last purchase. The top cover was unsealed. First time I see this. Please make sure when you buy one you check the quality of packaging.

still taking don't know if working or not but vitamins are part of my life. Just hope they are making a difference

I have not noticed anything, but I keep taking them.

No different

good

Haven't seen/ noticed any results yet.

Good price but much more difficult to swallow than comparable MetRX product. I usually don't have trouble swallowing pills, but these tend to get caught in my throat.

Purchased for help recovery after workouts. Not certain they do anything, have not noticed an increase in recovery time.

I have no idea if this stuff works. Been buying it for years........don't know why

The price is low for a reason - there are only 300mg of EPAs and DHAs. I had to take nearly 8 of these each day to hit my goal.If you are taking these and actively working out I would recommend LifeExtension instead.

i agree with what the others are saying!1. the fact that they don't display the amount of EPA and DHA is "fishy" ;)2. the total amount of fatty acids is only 300 mg which is way less than most of the other brands per soft gel3. i burp when i take themgoing to have to find another brand for my fish oils. as always, big brands like ON don't care about their customers' health, only their money. what else is new!

This product causes me to experience a heartburn feeling, as well as a discomfort in the chest region. Will not reorder.

Product got fishy smell real fast on two bottles. Not sure what's happening but have bought before and never had this problem.

When I bought this product, I thought it read that it had more EPA and DHA. When I received it, I quickly realized the mistake and sent it back. I'm giving the second star b/c I was allowed to send it back, thank you.No offense to the product and makers of this product, but for "Optimal" performance the doses need to be much higher.Also on Amazon is NOW, Molecularly Distilled, Super Omega EPA. 720mg EPA/480mg DHA in just two capsules. Also, I give these to my dogs and just cut open the capsule and pour on their food. They like it.

Gmo filler

no gaste su dinero, ningun efecto

No I didn't realize you had to take so many pills just to get the desired serving

See no difference using this supplement. Not sure it works or not.

ineffective. no bull brand is noticeably more effective.

Doesn't give the recommended amount of BCAA unless you take a lot fo pills.....

I did like these fish oil pills I went back to my old ones. Suggestion make sure when buying fish oil make that mercury is not in your fish oil pills. The ones I purchased gives me energy I did not like these fish oil pills

First order of these was great. Got a new shipment a fee days ago... The coating felt much thinner and different. Then after investing, had horrible fish burps

makes my face super oily so i end up with lots of blackheads,whiteheads acne. i stopped using it and my face cleared up

I don't know if they work. Haven't been able to take them long enough to find out. First off, they are huge, but the real problem is that they make me terribly nauseous, no matter how full my stomach is at the time. It doesn't last long, but I can't force myself to do it except on an occasional basis. Sorry.

These fish oil softgels used to be better. I'm not sure what they changed, but the latest bottle I got gave me headaches. I also noticed that they stopped listing a defined amount of EPA/DHA, which makes me wonder if there is even any in there anymore. It's very strange that they used to list it on their softgels, but that they don't now.You could almost say it's fishy. No, I couldn't resist.

I've never gotten a headache from a supplement before. After three days of headaches, I stopped taking these and the headaches went away. It was the only thing new in my diet at the time. Very strange. I suppose there's probably something about fish oil and headaches, but honestly, I'm not in the mood to search for the answer.This was just my experience, doesn't mean the product is bad, but it's certainly not for me.

I didn't like it. It didn't work for me

Gave me a horrible headache, couldn't use.

Did nothing!

very bad stomach ache and gassy all day after taking might be what the capsules are made of because the bcaa 5000 powder never gave me these issues

400 pills, 5 grams needed at least for sufficient amount of BCAA'S and to be on par with competition dosage, so you are basically getting 40 serving. Save your money and invest in INTEK BCAA's has much more ingredients or better yet if your a gym rat stack Jason Huhs supplements called "steel".

Makes me sick to my stomach no matter what
