Question 1

How do I bennifit from fish oil

Accepted Answer

IMHO it mostly helps decrease inflammation. When I take mine, my knees and body aches less. When I stop taking it, I hurt again. No doubt it has helped me! The great thing about the yummy flavored oils is that they don't leave a fishy after taste like fish oil pills can do. I find the Barleans easier to digest but it IS a more expensive option than the capsules.

Question 2

Does this also have omega-6 and omega-9 in it?

Accepted Answer

It just says Omega 3, our doctor recommended it for our Great Granddaughter. Said it helps the brain develop and this particular brand absorbs better than others.  Sorry doesn't have omega 6 or omega 9.

Question 3

What health benefits have users felt from this fish oil?

Accepted Answer

For general information about fish oil, check this article at Web MD. http://www.m.webmd.com/diet/features/what-to-know-about-omega-3s-and-fish. As for Barlean's fish oil, it is the ONLY fish oil I have found (liquid or capsules) that doesn't result in my burping fish taste later. Also, it's purified/organic and the flavors I have tried are delicious! It tends to be a little sweeter than I like, but that's a minor complaint. I am currently taking the lime. It's slight tartness somewhat counteracts its sweetness. I highly recommend it though it's a a bit pricey. A 16 oz. bottle lasts quite a while though at a tablespoon a day which is what I take.

Question 4

Is freshness still guaranteed if the product is exposed to high temperatures while in transit in the mail? (since retailers sell it refrigerated)

Accepted Answer

Retailers may sell it refrigerated but is it not warehoused and delivered refrigerated, it's a marketing tactic. This info comes from both having worked in health food stores myself and from speaking to delivery drivers, which is a much more sensible tactic than speaking to clerks because in my experience clerks are trained to tell the customer what s/he wants to hear! I spoke to Barleans about this and they said that it would take months of storage at a HIGH temperature (as in well over 120F) for this to go bad or lose potency or weoird. I have never had it taste fishy or weird even when sent UPS ground cross-country in 90+ degree weather. It's only after opening that you have to consider temperature and even then it's not necessarily to panic - I've even forgotten an open bottle on the counter overnight (called Barleans, they said it was ok to consume, tasted fine). I have also opened bottles that got "lost" in the back of the fridge and were months past the "best by" date - perfectly fine. Don't believe me? Go to the Barleans website and read their FAQ, which addresses this question.
