Dr.Oz

Pros: tiny pills
Cons: not enough recommended potent dha?
Model Number: 235558
"Okay, have been getting cramp and back pain, researched say Omega-3 can help, also help with inflammation..you know..the natural ways. So, Dr.Oz seem reputable enough, he said "Read the labels and remember whatever supplement you buy, it must have at least 600 mg of DHA" So, Megared have 300 mg of Krill Oil but only actual DHA is 27 mg, 90 mg in combine Omega-3. Look at costco brand it said on the label Omega 3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA and other Omega 3) 300 mg"

It works!

Pros: easy. one capsule a day.
"I started taking Mega Red to try to get my high cholesterol levels down, and boy did it work! Without any other changes, but taking one Mega Red and one Artichoke Leaf Extract capsule per day my cholesterol went from 289 to 166 in about six months. I am sticking with this regime!"

"This is the second bottle I have purchased.
Very happy with the product. I have a
after taste from Fish Oil so this is especially
easier to take. Size of tablet is small so
also is easier than some products.

"Well, I can't actually say I've felt a difference using Schiff Mega Red, but I can say that there is no after-taste with the Mega Red vs other fish oils I have taken. So, if it is the same in every other regard as fish oil, I consider the lack of an after-taste more than worth the additional cost."

Pros: once a day
"I like the idea that you only have to take one small pill a day. I was originally worried about the possible smell due to comments made by other reviewers, but my bottles have a nice vanilla smell, no fishy smell or taste at all."

MegaRed as good as promised.

Pros: the pill is small and easily swallowed.
"This product said that it provided omega-3 oil without any fishy aftertaste and it does. It actually has a very pleasant odor. I quit taking fish oil pills because they were very unpleasant, this product isn't."

Schiff® MegaRed

Pros: small size, easy to swallow
Model Number: schiff mega red
"Have used this product for about 3+ years upon suggestion from my docter and always purchase from the most reliable and friendly store Costco. Previously used fish oil which had an aftertaste and were frighteningly huge to swallow. My wife also uses Mega Red too.
My 4 star rating was because I am not qualified to know if they are beneficial or not. I would otherwise give Mega Red a five star rating.

Good Product

"I'm on my third bottle and a really like it so far. It's small, making it easy to swallow. And it doesn't smell or taste like fish (I hate seafood). I'd like to think it's making me healthier, but don't have any tests or numbers to prove it. Give it a try!"

Stinking goo

"I recently bought 3 bottles. The safety cover (under the cap) on two of them had opened and the pills were a gooey, stinking mess. Quality control?"

So far, so good!

Pros: tiny, no after tastes
"I've been taking these for a month. I have NEVER experienced any after taste at all. Not even an essence of that dreaded "fishy burp" - nothing. They have never upset my stomach. They are super tiny, and oh so easy to swallow! I don't know what smell people are referring to - I guess they fixed that problem. They don't stink to me at all.
I was looking for an algae derived Omega-3, for environmental reasons (plus mercury levels, and after taste) - but couldn't find one at Costco. This was a good alternative. Tiny krill don't have the mercury levels like large fish & they are not in danger of being overfished (though again, I would prefer the algal which can be grown in a controlled environment).
I'm really curious to see if my cholesterol dropped - I'll take my levels after I complete the bottle. I was hoping these would help reduce my monthly girl cramps... but I didn't notice a difference yet. I was only on these for a week at that time, though... so maybe next month will be better!
Just make sure you don't have shellfish allergies (friendly reminder).
I'll update the review as I learn more... but so far so good!"

Mega Red that has a fish odor in bottle

Pros: no fish after taste, great customer service
Cons: at time strong fish smell in bottle, has happened more than 3 different times
Model Number: 235558 - mega red softgels
"We have been using Mega Red for many years. The product does not cause any after taste after taking. There is a problem, however with the unwanted fish smell that has appeared from time to time with on line purchases. Mega Red customer service has always replaced the odor prone product, however there seems to be a problem in the manufacturing process. If this happened only 1 time I would have given them more stars!"

MegaRed, no taste great results

Pros: no after taste
"This is part of my daily regiman to take one of these plus a multi-vitiman. I like the no "burp" fish taste and my Dr. says my blood work is perfect at age 65. Even though I eat meat and dairy products daily."
