I am new to this site. Can we share product labels here? I am wondering what type/brand of omega 3 supplements you are using. There are so many out there and I'm sure some are better than others. Is it fish oil?

I usually ask my pharmacist which brand they suggest. The answer might be that they are much of muchness, and you can go by cost.

Thanks for asking that question.
As far as recommending or sharing products you have found helpful or asking question of others is fine. Mayo Connect guidelines restricts commercial postings, self-promotion, advertisements or solicitations

But, sharing experiences and information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Many supplements may interactive negatively with other medications you are taking, so always ask provider before taking a supplement.

With that being said, I will give my personal experience with Omega-3, fish oil. My eye doctor first recommend for dry eyes, and then years later a nutritionist recommend a screening for Omega-3, she recommend the same brand, Nordic Naturals. Since first started taking, they have add lemon taste to it. Many people did not like original taste. I take 1280 mg daily.

If search Mayo Connect for "Fish Oil" or "omega-3" you will find discussion in many of the support groups.

Hope that helps. Do you have specific reason for adding Omega-3 to your supplements? .
