Omega 3 fatty acid is an essential nutrient that offers various health benefits. However, many people in the Western world do not get enough from their diet even though this nutrient is found in common ocean-sourced food such as tuna, mackerel and sardines. This is where supplements come into play. Nordic Naturals Omega 3 offers all the benefits of omega 3 fatty acid to those who are not fortunate enough to have easy access to food that contains this essential nutrient.
Nordic Naturals Omega 3 aims to provide all the benefits attributed to omega 3 fatty acids, from its ability to reduce the risk of heart disease, to mood improvement, improved brain cognitive functions, a better immune system and improved joint health.

Omega 3 fatty acid comes with various health benefits. It can help lower risk of heart disease by lowering triglyceride fat in the blood. It has anti-inflammatory properties which should lower risk of joint pains. There have also been studies that showed how eating omega 3 rich food can help elevate mood and treat depression. DHA is also known as a key nutrient for enhancing visual and neurological development in infants. Omega 3 fatty acid is also known to help treat asthma as well as prevent gradual memory loss due to aging.
This product's softgel capsule contains lemon flavoring to prevent that fish smell side effect that is common in omega 3 fatty acid supplements. The source of the active ingredients is deep sea anchovies and sardines.
Dosage Instructions

Summary of Our Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Review
Overall, Nordic Naturals Omega 3 appears to be a solid alternative for those who are not eating enough natural sources of this essential fatty acid. It has a pretty solid feedback online with only a handful of negative reviews. While it is quite affordable, the inclusion of a special discount for bulk purchase would have been welcome. The lack of customer guarantee can also be seen as a downside to an otherwise good omega 3 supplement. We should also note that the fishy smell and aftertaste was still reported by some customers, despite the lemon flavoring.
