DEVA has a vegan softgel version of this DHA product, which does not have a fishy smell. It is not enteric coated like this one though.

They told me it's equivalent to eating two servings of salmon a week. But unlike eating fish you don't have as high of a risk of contaminants. A lesser risk is Sports Research Labs or Mercola brand krill oil. The least risk is buying Premier Labs Research DHA supplement but if you want virtually zero risk get Premier Research Labs EFA oil although it doesn't contain EPA or DHA. The best situation to cover all your EFA needs is buying both their DHA and EFA oil if you got the money.

This was this first fish oil that I did NOT taste fishy. I have tried various brands for over ten years and the taste and after taste (burping) was unbearable. This brand has been amazing for me and it does not have any taste at all.

Yes, it does smell fishy because that's what's in there, but I swallow them too fast to be bothered by any aftertaste. It wouldn't bother me anyway; it's a great supplement!

They have a version that includes dha, but I noticed the calcium amount was lower than this one. So it makes sense to just pair this with a separate dha supplement.

A third party has tested for mercury:https://labdoor.com/review/nordic-naturals-babys-dha

I have no idea what Qunol is. Is that CoQ-10? I liked the Krill Oil over the regular fish oils as they were smaller and didn't smell as bad. Krill oil is suppose to be better source of healthy omegas. I kept mine in the fridge and never had any fishy burps.

Carlson says it's free of detrimental levels of mercury, lead, cadmium and PCBs and 28 other properties. Hope this is of help. I've also read that squid oil is a better choice to avoid contaminants.

If you want a real good quality fish oil that doesn't smell at all like fish and leaves over no fishy aftertaste take a look at this one Zahler 3000mg of Fish Oil, 900 mg EPA 600 mg DHA 90 mg DPA total 1860mg of Omega-3, 180 Softgels I experienced absolutely no issues with this one and I also can't handle fish.

That's a darn good question, and I don't know the answer to it. It would be a good thing to know considering high levels of mercury reported accumulating in some fish over the last several years. I would also like to know if mercury actually settles in the "oil" that is extracted for human consumption, or does it accumulate in other fish body structures and fluids, leaving the fish oil we humans use mercury free, or at least relatively mercury free. The manufacturer claims their oil comes from deep, clear, clean, cold contaminate free Norwegian fiords...or something like that....but I don't recall if they mentioned that they tested for mercury. I have read the box, and some on their website, in the past. I will check into their testing for mercury, and I would also like to know more about mercury contamination in fish-where it accumulates in fish, and where in the world geographically, it seems to be a bigger problem. Anyone, that has information on the above, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

My previous bottle was good. But the recent one-Now Foods Jojoba oil smells like fish oil. I couldnt bear it ! I discarded it...

I believe the source of this DHA comes from algae instead of fish. Fish can sometimes be contaminated with mercury which is harmful to babies in the womb so this is safer for pregnant women.

I popped one open to see and it seemed rancid, extremely fishy smelling. I have high quality cod liver oil that doesn't taste or smell bad at all.

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now!Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps!V.

I feel compelled to inform consumers...and it saddens me that this company is misleading customers as I have a few oils I have purchased from them in the past... But PURE Vanilla Essential Oil does NOT exist. As I researched myself into the difference and such...http://www.lgbotanicals.com/Vanilla-Pure-Essential-Oil--No-Such-Thing_b_27.html#.VN5j7v54rYg

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

I bought a different brand of pumpkin seed powder and now I'm buying this one, but I can tell you that that one smelled funky to me either, until I recalled the smell of pumpkin seeds and remembered that they have a funky smell (at least to me, lol), I decided to keep using it based on that and I never had any issues (and my system is highly sensitive). Though, I don't want to guess whether or not yours is rancid in error, definitely return it if you are concerned (if you haven't already) and try another brand. I do agree w/ the idea it could be the zinc issue b/c I've only 'smelled' that strong smell for 5 days out of the month when eating it, so interesting...afraid I was the only one...
