It is one of the few fish oil products that has a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acid so you only take one capsule per day after a meal. Kirkland Signature Fish Oil also has an Enteric coating with a hint of vanilla flavor, quite unlike regular fish oil capsules. This enteric coating prevents heartburn/indigestion and the dreaded "fish belch". The capsule, though it is large, it is quite easy to swallow with water.
This product, like all other Kirkland Signature fish oils, has its origin from a variety of fish species such as salmon, sardines and anchovies in the deep ocean waters, and not from farm-raised fish. Kirkland fish oils are produced using a state-of-the-art molecular distillation process which removes much of the mercury (the mercury levels of Kirkland fish oils are less than 0.1 parts per million), PCBs and dioxins, which purifies the fish oil and reduces the fishy odor.

Here is what one customer had to say about Kirkland Signature Fish Oil w/Omega-3 Enteric coating:
B.Tarr
I used to have high cholesterol and triglycerides but not any more. After three months of taking 2 capsules of Kirkland Signature Fish Oil w/Omega-3 Enteric coating, my triglycerides dropped over 30% and my good cholesterol went up. I feel healthier my skin looks great and I'm always in a good mood. I like the fact there is zero fishy aftertaste or burping as well. All in all these work!
