Dr. Tobias fish oil pills are amazing! They don't stick together like most versions of Omega's and they go down easier. Being paleo, I have been eating an anti-inflammatory diet for a couple of years now. Omega 3's are essential to balance the body and reduce inflammation but it's difficult to get a good dosage of them without taking a supplement. These are the best quality Omega3 fish oil pills I have tried and highly recommend this brand.

This is a comparison between Dr. Tobias Optimum Omega 3 and another brand, Nutrigold Triple Strength Fish Oil Omega-3 Gold. I do this comparison review because I have taken both brands and Dr. Tobias is a newer brand on the market, so this might help.The beneficial ingredients in fish oil products are mainly the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
EPA stands for eicosapentaenoic acid. DHA stands for docosahexaenoic acid.
First, as a summary, my personal opinion. Further down the facts.
I think Dr. Tobias is a very good product. I like the high dosage of EPA and especially DHA and the interesting additional free bonus of health videos (mainly yoga). It is a great idea to support an active life style this way.
All in all, I think this product does very well in comparison to other high quality products like Nutrigold.
I like that they use molecular distillation (something that Nutrigold also uses).
Another plus of Dr. Tobias omega 3 is the use of enteric coating. The enteric coating has two benefits: no fishy aftertaste ("fish burps") and a better absorption of the omega 3 by the body, in the small intestine, than products that do not have an enteric coating. With Nutrigold (no enteric coating), I have had some fishy burps sometimes. Also, the capsules of Dr. Tobias are smaller than the ones from Nutrigold. The serving size is two though.
Here the facts.

----------------
To conclude, I give Dr. Tobias 5 stars. They are molecularly distilled, have enteric coating and high dosage, especially DHA. No fishy burps. In comparison, I would rate Nutrigold slightly lower, at 4.5 stars, because of their fish burps and the lower DHA content.First let me say this was delivered in a professional package, the bottle was creatively designed with fun brightness of color. I have had other companies provide me supplements that are very bland and energetically it feels like the product would not offer the vibrancy i would look for. This alone provided me with an uplifted feeling and i began taking as prescribed. I feel great, my skin is clear and my joints are not sore and for this reason alone highly recommend this to all. Who doesn't want to feel great? It's reasonably priced and guaranteed, so what would anyone have to loose? i love it, thanks Dr. Tobias....look forward to your next offerings.I have only been using this product for couple of weeks so I cannot comment on the long term effects/ benefits.
There is no fishy aftertaste, the pill is easy to swallow, my skin looks more radiant, and I def feel more energetic after taking the Omega 3. The product arrived on time, thank you Dr. Tobias!I have taken Optimum Omega 3 just for a couple of days and what I have already noticed:
My heels are not so dry anymore!
I love that. I use to have pretty dry skin, especially the heels were dry, sometimes cracks and now that has improved so much.
Also, I am happy that you only have to take one pill a day, since I have a hard time swallowing pills. These pills I can swallow nicely.
So excited about my heels. Can wear my open shoes in the summer now! :-)
