Does anyone use Kirkland Fish Oil (from Costco)?
paula_pa
I've always used one particular fish oil supplement, Eskimo-3, which has lime and rosemary flavor and I've never had any problems with it (any fishy taste or anything). It's a very good fish oil supplement but I can't get it locally and it's expensive to pay for the supplement plus shipping.
I hate to mess with something that works for me but I know the Kirkland would save me money. I've had good luck with Kirkland Glucosamine/Chrondroitin.
Has anyone used this brand and are you happy with it?

My husband uses it and is happy with it. I am supposed to take it but haven't started it just yet. I know Kevin had some before that wasn't the best tasting but he said this is a good one to take. Do you get coupons from Costco? I just got some in the mail yesterday--there was a coupon for the fish oil capsules in it.
Paula, where have you looked online for the Eskimo-3? It's available at iHerb for $13.98 for 105 softgels, and they offer free shipping for orders over $40. (I'm assuming you take other supplements as well?)
Vitacost has it for the same price, with $4.99 shipping no matter what size the order.

Thanks for the info. For some reason I never get coupons from Costco even though I always get my renewal notice.
Alisande, I usually order from Vitacost. This is the only supplement I order online regularly. All the other supplements I take, I can buy locally.
I think I will try Kirkland if the price is a lot better, which I suspect it is, and if I don't like it I'll go back to Eskimo-3. Thanks for the tip on iHerb. I could order 3 bottles at a time for the free shipping if I do go back to Eskimo-3.
We use the Costco fish oil and are very happy with it.
It IS a great price... made better when they have a coupon for it!
Thanks Luann. I guess I'm sold. I'm also going to stop by customer service and see if they can tell me why I don't get coupons from them.
Paula, I use the Kirkland Fish Oil Omega 3 softgels from COSTCO. I love them. I have never had an aftertaste and they don't bother my stomach at all. The bottle that I buy has a 400 count and I think they were $13.99.
I know they had a sale coupon for fish oil softgels but they were different ones than I buy. I only say that because I grabbed my usual bottle and they said the coupon wasn't for "that bottle"...but I thought that the cost was such a great deal I bought another bottle anyway. ~LOL~

I use Kirkland Fish Oil Omega 3 as well and love them. Also like their Calcium. It comes in smooth green caplets. They go down a whole lot easier than any other calcium pills I've tried. I couldn't get to Costco recently so I bought a small bottle of calcium from Kaiser and OMG, I woke up at 2am with the calcium pill I'd taken at 11pm stuck somewhere in my throat. You know, the feeling like it's sticking out of your back between the shoulders. Hate that feeling. I just drank tons of water and went back to bed ... not a good combination. I didn't get much sleep that night. :-)

Paula,
Do you have the executive membership--think that is what it is called--I only started getting the coupons after I signed up for that card. I get a rebate check back each year that pays for the difference in the regular membership and the executive membership so I am really out nothing extra to get the few extras the executive membership gives you. I usually save at least $30 or more each time I use their coupons.
The coupon this month is for the Wild Alaska Salmon Oil capsules.
I buy the Kirkland Natural Fish Oil Omega 3 Concentrate softgels.
You can usually use the coupon on more than one item so I stock up--get 2 or 3 each time so I don't run out before the next coupon comes out. I think I ended up paying something like $8.99 for 400 softgels the last time I bought it. Sheila
I just have a regular membership (we don't buy enough to justify the executive membership) but I thought I got the coupons once or twice when I first joined (years ago). I will ask and see what they say.
Paula, I recently switched from the Kirland Fish Oil, which I liked, to the Kirkland Triple Omega, which I like a bit better.
It has the fish oil plus flaxseed, safflower and olive oil, with omega 3, 6 and 9.
If you check the label, it says serving size 1 softgel, three times daily suggested.
Oops! It's not the "Kirkland," but the "Nature Made" brand of Triple Omega, sold at Costco, that I like (see my post above).
Oooh, my Costco coupon booklet just came for July 13 - August 2nd ...
Omega 3 Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil, $3 off
Nature Made Triple Omega, $5 off
Kirkland Glucosamine Condroitin, $5 off
... and many more things I'm sure I can't live without - LOL
On Web MD in one of their short little blurbs, it mentioned that if you have high blood pressure, do not take any fish oil caps. It could raise your blood pressure, don't know if it true or not, but I do know the capusles I took for a short period of time did not set good. May try Flax latter.

all articles I have read say that Omega3 lowers blood pressure
GOOGLE it and lots of articles and studies come up
We get the Nature Made at Costco
