Which oil is best?
In a clinical study conducted by The Centre for Nutritional Studies, Barlean’s Omega Swirl, a lemon flavored, emulsified fish oil product was found to be 90% more bio-available than standard fish oil.
In the study, the total percentage of oil that reached the blood stream was 10-times greater with Omega Swirl than the same dose of fish oil. Theoretically, it could take up to 20 standard fish oil gelcaps to equal the amount of Omega-3 delivered to the bloodstream by just one, two tsp. dose of Omega Swirl.
Barlean’s Fruit Swirl resembles the texture of a fruit smoothie and has a fruity flavor to match. According to Barlean’s, this texture allows the oil to more efficiently pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream.
Barlean’s Omega Swirls have won multiple “Best of Supplement” and “Tasters Choice” awards and the company has captured national media attention, including our attention here at HL&S! (We also like their OliveLeaf complex oil, which has a nice minty flavor.)
