Consumer Critique: Nordic Naturals

A lot of research has been done lately on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Nordic Naturals provide a wide variety of supplements containing omega-3 - and more. I got samples of a few products - Ultimate Omega-D3 and Children's DHA.

Ultimate Omega-D3 provides exceptionally high levels of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, in addition to 1000 I.U. of vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol) is the natural form of vitamin D produced by the body, and is better absorbed and utilized than other forms. This is one of Nordic Naturals most popular concentrated formulas meaning you get double-strength EPA+DHA for increased omega-3 benefits in fewer soft gels. In addition, natural vitamin D3 is added for strong bones and a healthy immune system. Children's DHA is Nordic Naturals best selling fish oil product for children. Children's DHA is made from 100% Arctic cod liver oil, sustainably caught and processed in Norway.

Both of them are flavored - lemon for adults, strawberry for kids - although my family didn't really like the flavor all that much. It's not bad, but we prefer to swallow our supplements anyway. I think for my girls, the softgel form was different from the gummies that they're used to. The quality of Nordic Naturals is very high, though - they want to deliver the safest omega oils. We've been happy with a lot of their products in the past. They're easy to find, and you can also get them online or from Amazon.com.

Disclosure: I received samples of Nordic Naturals to facilitate this review.
