I saw the soy listed under the label "Contains" not the Ingredients area.

My statements are based on fact. "Concentrate" is just another processing step, removing some needed nutrients and the end product is less pure.

The only statement of yours that I can agree with is that oils are probably the most important of supplements needed. That being said, for me (and should be for everyone), it is important to choose a quality brand. The thread, after all, did ask for a good brand, not the cheapest.

Well I happened to get Carlson 1000mg softgels.

I have to take 3 to be in the 3g-6g a day range.

This doesn't mention enteric coated, so I hope it doesn't burp up the fish taste.

50 softgels in a bottle, it cost $10.

So I figured. You don't have any research or expert citation. Saying it's based on fact doesn't make it so. It's not much more than a PETA statement.

Ok I burped up fishy taste...not good.

Back to square one.

I take Flameout. Here are the nutritional facts:

The stores I go to don't even know what Flameout is, no way will I be getting my hands on that anytime soon.

Testosterone Nation - Products

I order it from T-Nation.

I can't order online.

My debit card account is in a debacle right now.

Even if I could order online, I would need to get it delivered to my apartment or my job.

1) Apartment - Monday - Friday / I leave home at 7:30 AM and arrive home 7:30 PM.....Weekends / no deliveries on weekends.

2) Job - Will piss off boss if I keep getting in personal packages monthly.

Well then I am sure you can find a comparable product at your local vitamin or supplement shop.

Heh I wish, so far the brands I see that are enteric coated have soy, the ones that don't have soy are not enteric coated and the ones that are enteric coated and don't have soy have a low amount of omega 3 in each tablet, which means I have to go through twice the aount of tablets.

I seem to be stuck with twice the amount of tablets, ah well...better than nothing.

Have you looked at vitamin world and other places like that? I am sure there are a ton of alternatives out there. Get what you can, take extra if you have to until you get your debit card in oder, then order the ones you want.

I think alot of T-nation products are only available through them. Just make sure the DHA & EPA amounts account for at least 30% of the total.

Example: your pill is 1000mg, it should be at least 250mg DHA and 50mg EPA.

Fish oil is fish oil after that IMO. This is one product that I dont care where I get from (Walgreens, Drug Fair, bodybuilding.com) doesnt matter.

Ok I finally found a brand that is non soy and enteric coated.

I am still burping up taste, but its a medicinal taste this time.

Anyway, I am just going to finish up this one until I find another one to try out.

P.S - The softgels in this brand I am using were stuck to each other when I opened it, sign of a bad product? They were easily released from their pasty fate for individual use though.
