PRODUCT FAQs
What is Triglyceride Form Omega-3?
The triglyceride form of omega-3 refers to its molecular base of 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. This is the same form of omega-3 fat found in fish and the kind your body can readily absorb. The other common form of omega-3 is ethyl ester which consists of polyunsaturated fatty acids attached to an ethanol backbone. In order for the fatty acids to enter your bloodstream, they need to be in triglyceride form. Your body does slightly more work for this to occur in ethyl ester form versus the fatty acids already in triglyceride form.
Does Triglyceride Form Omega-3 Increase My Triglycerides?
No. One of the many benefits of omega-3 is its effect on supporting healthy triglyceride levels.* Triglyceride form is the molecular form of omega-3 that your body can easily absorb.
What is DHA and EPA?
There are two sources of omega-3 fatty acids: plants and fish. Only fish provides DHA and EPA, the two forms of omega-3 that help maintain normal cardiovascular health.*
Who should take Cardiotabs Omega-3?
Everyone can benefit from the highly concentrated DHA and EPA found in Cardiotabs Omega-3. In addition to helping maintain normal cardiovascular function and supporting healthy triglyceride levels, the DHA and EPA in Cardiotabs Omega-3 may also help support normal brain and eye health.*
Are Cardiotabs Omega-3s tested for purity?
Yes. With Cardiotabs Omega-3, you get all the benefits without the risk of high levels of toxins and pollutants like mercury and lead. Cardiotabs Omega-3 undergoes a highly complex purification process known as molecular distillation, and is independently tested to meet stringent safety standards.
What part of the world is the omega-3 oil sourced from?
The omega-3 oil is a product of natural marine oils primarily from the Pacific Southeast and Northwest.

My husband and I have been taking this product for better than 4 years. We like the enteric coating leaving us with a no burp taste. Very easy to swallow with the small size. We take two caps once a day and have seen an improvement in our cholesterol and triglyceride blood levels with a lower fat diet. When I realized I could save some time and money with the easy order online along with free shipping, this product looked even better. No longer had to add it to my PriceChopper shopping list and I never ran out of the supplement. Thanks Cardiotabs!

I love this product. I'm very sensitive to fish oil capsules and with any other brand I find I'm belching a lot after swallowing it. Even the lemon-flavored fish oil capsules, I belch the lemon taste, (which is better than the fish taste I know!), but I'd rather not have the indigestion-type symptoms at all. Not with CardioTabs Omega 3 softgels. No indigestion, no belching!

My doctor recommended this product for my problem with proper eye lubrication. I have been using this product for 3-4 years and it has sufficiently helped my eyes. If I fail to take the Omega -3 my eyes become itchy causing discomfort. This is the best supplement I have found to promote healthy and well-lubricated eyes. I take 4 softgels daily.

My doctor recommended Cardiotabs (from Kansas Cardiac specialists) over 10 years ago, and I have been taking it daily ever sense to keep my cholesterol in check. My doctor says that the Omega-3, along with the statin are the reason my numbers are healthy.

Since my eye surgery, I have had lots of dry eye issues. This form of Omega 3 is by far my favorite as a part of my regimen, though I do wish they made it without soy.

Three months ago I started using Omega-3 Extra Strength + Vitamin D3 twice daily and was successffuly able to promote healthy cholesterol levels. Most importantly, I was able to promote healthy triglyceride levels and finally achieved my target number. My "bad cholesterol" and "good cholesterol" were in healthy ranges as well. Both my cardiologist and endocrinologist were thrilled with my results as I had multiple major risk factors for cardiac disease, to include major family history on all sides, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, insulin resistance (precursor to diabetes) with metabolic syndrome, post-menopausal with excessive estrogen production, a stressful job, and am treated for chronic depression although well controlled. I was even able to support healthy blood sugar levels as well! I am absolutely thrilled with my results an will continue with this regimine!!! Thank your Dr. & Mrs. O'Keefe!!!

I WAS ADVISED BY THE CARDIOLOGIST I WORK WITH TO TAKE OMEGA -3 WHILE I WAS PREGNANT TO INCREASE MY CHILDS IQ. HE RECOMMENDED THIS PRODUCT AS THE BEST TO CONTINUE TO GIVE HIM AS A TEENAGER. I HAVE BEEN GIVING THESE TO HIM FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

Great source of EPA and when compared to other brands of lesser concentration, the cost is less because you take fewer soft gels. No fishy taste or burping as is so prevalent in so many fish oil supplements.

We have been using the Omega-3 Enteric-Coated for over 10 years. We especially like these because they have NO after taste, like other Omega-3 pills have.

I ordered the Omega-3 Enteric Coated (1100mg) in error intending to purchase the Extra Strength Omega-3 (1300mg). Due to the shape of the Enteric Costed tablet I found them much more difficult to swallow. They regularly got caught in my throat requiring the need to cough them back up. I do not have similar swallowing problems with the Extra Strength tablets which I prefer.

Dr Brown
This product is amazing. I tried 4 other types of Omega 3 without success. They all upset my stomach and gave me heartburn. This one works PERFECTLY for my dry eyes and I have no stomach issues whatsoever. I will probably take it for the rest of my life. I REALLY reccomend it to anyone who needs to take Omega-3.

I have used these vitamins for several years. I like that they don't have a fishy taste and that they contain no mercury or lead. Also it is helpful that it is independently tested.
