Is this product the same as the eicosaderm omega 3 liquid which lists 2000 mg of fish oil in each 2 ml pump along with the EPA/DHA/vitE?

Afraid I can't answer this for you as I have never heard of Dechra Eicosaderm

One and the same Paul. I have Olde English Bulldogge's and they're notorious for skin conditions. Despite keeping my dogs very clean, cleaning between their toes, the folds under their eyes, it seemed I was always battling skin problems with some of my dogs in those areas. Have also had problems with some of my dogs with dry, flakey skin. A person on one of the Bulldogge sites recommended the product to me about ten years ago, tried it and have been using it ever since with exceptional results, especially for the skin problems between the dogs toes and dry skin. Some of my dogs never had a problem, some did, but I use the product with all of my dogs. I have two Bulldogge's now, one is 14, the other is 15, I've had only one instance out of many Bulldogge's in my lifetime that have lived beyond 12 to 13 years old, the two I have now are as healthy as can be...even my Vet is surprised and she recommends the product now as a supplement due to its cardiac, skin and coat benefits to all of her doggy patients. I can't guarantee you would have the same results, but I think it's a great product.

I am pretty sure it is, BUT you need to check the product's description. I've used this brand with our Aussie, and his coat is lush and glossy.

Epa-DHA Balance has EPA 400mg and 200mg DHA, max DHA has DHA 560 mg, and EPA 100 mg; the max dha is the stuff I guess I needed because it helped me remember more . I also take fish oil twice a day. BOB

NO. It is not. As has been said, you can take both because Flax oil only contains omega-3 in ALA form (check the label) and that form, as with all plant-sourced omega-3 (except for algae), is very hard for our bodies to convert to any useful omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Fish oils, on the other hand, are "good to go" with no conversion necessary. I love flax for its moisturizing abilities, but also take fish oil as my real omega-3 source. As for flax being somehow cleaner because this one is organic, look for a molecularly distilled, domestic (Alaskan) type of fish oil (or just pure wild salmon oil) and you will be fine. I use Fisol by Nature's Way. Clean and Alaskan pollack and hake sourced.

The omega 3 and hyaluronic acid are both listed under proprietary blend= 353mg. Schiff does not list the values as seperate items. Sorry that is all that is on the label. Linda

Sandra, label states: Fish Oil 1g, 1000mg. Provides 300 mg Omega 3 fatty acids comprised of EPA, DHA and other Fatty Acids. Spring Valley is distributed by Walmart. Visit Walmart where you can read entire label and discuss with Pharmacist. Best regards , Steve

nothing misleading, the dose is clearly stated at 2 per day. So 120 capsules is a 60 day supply.1400 is EPA + DHA; 2000 is total fish oil (triglycerides), including the EPA & DHA.

It says on the label that it's concentrated by molecular distillation (which 2yrs ago everybody was saying was the best!) so there probably are some EEs. The top 2 Google (TM) hits are diametrically opposed on whether it actually matters: http://www.ascentahealth.com/health-science/science-articles/fish-oil-triglycerides-vs-ethyl-esters-as-nature-intended http://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/Fish-Oil-EE-vs-TG-omega-3s-which-is-better-W119.aspx The Ascenta website has a test you can do: you put 20ml of your fish oil in a styrofoam cup. EEs will leak through it in 10min, triglycerides won't. Tempted to do it, because now you've got me curious, but I wonder how many of these capsules I'll have to squeeze open to get 20ml? I picked these because I wanted buckets of DHA for my brain. I'd like to see some quantitative data: for instance, one of these supposedly has 500mg DHA, whereas maybe a triglyceride one only has 80. So if this DHA is only, say, half as bioavailable as the triglyceride, I'm getting 250mg from this one which is STILL better than 80. Also, even the EEs-are-bad articles seem to say it only actively harms people who have certain conditions or are taking certain other meds - though I admit I skimmed, because the whole "last year's Underdog's Super Energy Pill is this year's poison" thing gives me a fatal Out-of-Patience Error.

It's just fish oil. The claim to improve mood is based on what they claim is a high EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid, a type of Omega 3) content. It looks like the EPA is 50% of the total Omega 3 (1000mg out of a 2000mg serving) and the fish oil I now take (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega) has approximately the same ratio (650mg of EPA ourt of 1280mg total Omega 3).

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

The ratio is: EPA 860 mg. to DHA 580 mg. It's not twice as much. There is a lot of controversy as to how much you should take and the actual ratio. It all depends on what health concern you are addressing. I would advise you contact Metagenics and see if they have another Fish Oil that has exactly what you need. They have several types and are really helpful. Good Luck!

I just looked up Omega XL, and yes - it is similar in that it's contains New Zealand Green Lipped mussel oil. However, it is a "blend" - which means it has the mussel oil as ONE of it's ingredients. Not sure what the other ingredients are. Tripernol is PURE - only thing in it is the mussel oil.

Good question, Patricia. The label states that each 1000 mg gel cap contains 300 mg of omega-3. However, this is not broken down. There is no indication on the label what portion is EPA, what portion is DHA, or what portion is "other," the three main components of omega-3. The manufacturer has confirmed to me that roughly 150 mgs is EPA, 80 mgs is DHA, and 70 mgs is "other." See my review on this thread.

I don't know. However their products were highly recommended to me years ago for their potency and I've taken them ever since. The Omega 3 is excellent. My opinion, I think their products are first class. I hope this helps you.
