I called the 5bl office, some guy answered and said that he was not aware of any codes and that I could write to the shading agent in the store. Then they stupidly didn’t pick up the phone. The store refused me the product and told me to call the office. And they don't answer the phone there. |

| Alexei rated the product 10 27.04.2016 15:31 | I bought it for testing because I knew about the beneficial properties of fish oil. I didn’t start drinking for a long time because I thought it wouldn’t affect anything. I started drinking 1 capsule a day (3-5) days and took a break - the result is excellent, I didn’t expect it (my mood and general well-being improve, it’s easier to remember). Before that, I used fish oil sold in pharmacies - I didn’t feel any results (except for negative ones). They say it is best to drink natural liquid fish oil, but it is difficult to buy and they say it is difficult without the habit of drinking. 21.06.2016 17:53 Bite into the capsule and you’ll get “liquid” fish oil. |

Customer Reviews
Elena, 45 years old:
Over the past few months, I have started to experience pain in my heart. It turned out that I have an arrhythmia. Omega-3 from Solgar was recommended to me.

Omega 800 from California Gold Nutrition
Link to product page: https://kz.iherb.com/pr/California-Gold-Nutrit...
This is fish oil from iHerb's own brand, California Gold Nutrition. It is this product that I have preferred since the moment it appeared on iHerb (previously released under the Madre Labs brand). Currently, this product is one of the leaders in EPA and DHA content per 1 gram of fat and contains 480 mg of EPA and 320 mg of DHA in one capsule. Omega 800 is concentrated and molecularly distilled in Germany to the highest industry standards. Omega-3s here are provided in the form of triglycerides (rTG). The ratio of EPA and DHA is 3/2, which is typical for the types of fish that served as raw materials for the product (sardine, mackerel, anchovies).
Thanks to this product, I take up to 4 capsules per day during heavy workouts, providing myself with 3200 mg of EPA and DHA, which is packed into 4 grams of fat! I don’t have to scrupulously count fats and cut back on my diet; I can easily eat 5% cottage cheese or medium-fat meat, and I additionally take wheat germ oil. This fish oil is an iHerb exclusive and provides you with low shipping costs. The only downside to this product is that it is often out of stock as it sells out quickly. But iHerb is working hard to fix this problem.
I recommend ordering this product in the cool season and storing it in a cool place (no higher than 25 degrees Celsius). My rating for this product is 10 out of 10!
Important Additions
Omega 800 from Madre Labs has been discontinued and is now available under the California Gold Nutrition brand.
California Gold Nutrition has two fish oil products - Omega-3 Premium Fish Oil and Omega 800. Many people wish they were the same product. I would also like to buy highly concentrated Omega at the price of an inexpensive 32% product.
But I will disappoint you - these are different products. Omega-3 Premium Fish Oil is less expensive because it contains only 320 mg of EPA and DHA per 1000 mg of fat.
Omega 800 uses exclusively fish oil concentrate processed in Germany by KD-Pür® IFOS™, rated 5 stars. KD-Pür® technology is the prerogative of only the Omega 800 product. Different raw materials, different technologies, different degrees of purity and concentration - as a result, different costs of the product.
