Supplementation with omega 3 is not the solution for improving your health. Removing omega 6 sources from your diet (seed oils are probably the biggest culprit) will be much more effective. Get yourself some cold-water, fatty fish.

Unless the book is amazing, this isn't a great price for an omega-3 supplement.

You really need an Omega 3, 6, & 9 to get the full health value in my humble opinion.

If you are trying to lose weight, the Omega 9 comes in handy but you need about 6 grams daily.

For heart health this might be a nice supplement. However, eating fish twice a week can do that.

If you ordered before the price change, you'll be refunded the difference.

Now, go buy 3.

Only 17.99 (each) for a three book set! Three books! Oh, redtokyoboxers, at last! You're becoming a crafty consumer! I'll take eight.

As a long time fish oil user, can't recommend this product. It is really important to know the amount of EPA and DHA in each dose. The product website does not contain this information.

I have one of Dr. Colbert's other books - well written and has lots of sound advice. You may want to know that Dr. Colbert writes with an evangelical Christian perspective.

Finally a product I can comment on! (I don't know nearly as much as you guys when it comes to laptop specs) It is all about balance between O3 and O6. Most Americans get way too much 06 and not enough O3. And I agree that without EPA and DHA levels it'd be hard to know if this is a deal.

I take fish oil pills for the omega-3. I have two types... one that gives you fish burps, and one that doesn't. I take the one that does when I'm in the mood for sushi, but can go have it.

In either case, this deal smells fishy. Overpriced for a bottle of pills, and who knows what the book is actually worth.

Lol on the burps and sushi but you left out carp breath!

Well, that is surely the sportiest fish-oil and book combo I've seen all day.

Hello everyone, this is the manufacturer, I want to address your concern on the DHA and EPA dosage. The DHA and EPA vary from 100-200mg per dose the total DHA and EPA is 300mg. This is a pharmasutical grade fish oil and is manufactured under strict GMP guidelines. I hope this helps everyone.

That info can also be found under the "Specs" tab on the main sport.woot page.

(pssst.... pharmaceutical)

Krill oil is better than Omega 3. Do the research for yourself with Google.

Agreed, great links.
