Hi,

Does anybody know why the ProEFA is not on the website?

Thanks,

Anita

Is Complete Omega on the website? It's the same thing.

Yes, Complete Omega is on the website, is it the same thing???? I wasn't

sure what to order when I went into the website a couple of days ago because I

didn't see Proefa either.

In addition to what I wrote below -the ProEFA is probably not up on

the NN website because as of January 1st Nordic Naturals is raising

the price again...around $1.20 more per bottle -so NN will be charging

23? 24? dollars a bottle now for the same bottle of ProEFA.

Figures that as cheap as fish oil is when you buy it just about

anywhere else - the cheap one that we found worked has within just two

years become the Godiva of fish oils price wise. There is more than

one fish in the sea as they say. A little birdie told me that there

are other places that may sell the same product for lots less. (or buy

another brand with a similar formula -or you can make your own by

mixing fish oil with either a small amount of primrose or borage

seed oil) Don't stress -it's just fish oil.

Hi ,

To answer your questions yes two similar EFA formulas would be the

brand names of Efalex or EyeQ as reported here. Not to say there

are not others too -just make sure it's a high quality oil since

many brands are rancid (oxygen and fish oil don't mix well) ...or

you could buy good quality fish oils and add to it a very small

amount of borage seed or primrose oil to create the correct ratios.

Not sure why the ProEFA is not on the Nordic website -but I know for

a fact through the original and for awhile only parent source of

ProEFA -Shop-In Service, it's not discontinued. As I've said

before -NN really never wanted or were supposed to sell the

professional line of the product to the public/parents, nor are they

allowed to be sold in stores -the " Pro " line was only allowed to be

sold to and distributed by health care professionals. As parents

you are supposed to purchase the Complete Omega Ultimate Omega with

borage oil (the more expensive commercial line which is also allowed

to be carried in stores) This is what all of us were told way back

then when we did the first feedback with it -long before the First

Apraxia Conference.

If you read the history of ProEFA and apraxia -it's due to the work

of CHERAB that you can now find ProEFA online by various online

merchants.

Just to let everyone know - I called NN last Friday (1/2/04) to order

ProEfa - it was on the website under the professionals section along

with ProEfa liquid. I asked the woman at the (800) number what the

difference was between the Compete Omega and the ProEfa and she said

nothing (reading the ingredients confirms that!) - the ProEfa is

simply the label they put on the supps for professionals who use it

in their practices. The Complete Omega (pills and liquid) are the

ones available to the general public and what you would ask for if

you bought them at a health food store or something like that. The

NN website has a link that will tell you where the nearest store is

at which you can buy the Complete Omega. I wound up ordering the

pills (for DH and me - why not, it's good for heart health too!) and

the liquid for Josh (switching from a different supp - have questions

about this but it's in a different email!) - pills don't need to be

refrigerated but should be kept in a cool spot, liquid must be kept

in fridge after opening. Finally, you can print/download (with

Adobe) the catalog listing ProEfa and all the products - also has the

(800) number for ordering purposes.

Sherry,

Less pills in the Complete than Pro-efa bottles which makes it more

costly. Also inquire about the NN Omega club where you get regular

shipments every other month automatically with free shipping and a

10% discount. They ship automatically and bill a credit card.

Shipments can be suspended or changed at any time.

Sherry,

Often times the capsule itself can cause heartburn. My husband has lots of

esophageal and reflux problems. his doctor told him no capsules only tablets and

especially nothing like the gel capsules.
