Omega XL

I am sure this has been addressed before but are there any users out there? And just what are the ingredients???

I have lots of arthritic pain mostly in my legs and rely on an Advil or a Tylenol a day. Some days worse than others...Topicals do not work for me...

Is that the brand that is on TV? I haven't bothered watching it--I don't take fish omegas anymore--the pills got so big, I was afraid I'd get it stuck and choke--I use flaxseed omegas now---they are in gummie form too. Also take a gummie for joints. I prob have some arthritis but just barely--am 72--but it doesn't affect me much.

You can easily find Green Lipped Mussel caps on their own, I take one a day for my knee arthritis, usually they are 500 to 750 mg each for a lot less money. Just decide if you want the ones in oil or as a powder, powder is a lot less money but the oil ones may be more effective.

The brand has one with a Green Lipped Mussle source only AND one with the mussle and Krill oil too.

I haven't tried either but I Will NOT take Krill oil suppliments.

SO much Marine Life depends upon Krill for their survival that I refuse to take it away from them.

They CAN'T get out of the water to find another source WE CAN.

Only 300 mg. per serving? The ingredients aren't that impressive at all, IMO. And $50 (discounted price) for a 30 day supply is ridiculous.

Spend $20-ish on a big 34 oz.glass bottle of good, single origin EVOO and take a tablespoon of that. You'll get 68 tablespoons for the bottle. You can add an inexpensive fish oil supplement and still be money ahead. If you're already taking a multivitamin they usually contain Vitamin E so taking extra is unnecessary.

Omega XL has many celebrity endorsements. That adds to the cost.

Unfortunately OMEGA XL isn't forthcoming about what makes up their proprietary blend. The GLM could be the recommended amount or it could be a minuscule amount in the concoction.

If you're considering taking it, you might want to first look up GLM on the WebMD site and read everything.

i use Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega mini's. They are strawberry flavored. I take one in the morning with breakfast and one at dinner. Two a day because they are mini's. I have a very sensitive stomach and these have never made me sick or have any fishy taste after. I watch my local Meijer for buy one get one 50% off. I also have bad leg aching from fibromyalgia. I use voltaren gel. I have bad hip bursitis and use this every day for that reason too.

I am also a Voltaren user, it is what is keeping me out of the operating room for knee replacement, I use a minimal amount twice a day.

I wonder if this is similar to the Flexium that Mary Beth hawks. The late night commercials seem that they are.

Flexium does not contain the Green Lipped Mussel, which is the key ingredient in Omega XL

I've taken Omega 3's for at least 12 yrs for the anti inflammatory effects. I left Lessman's behinď when he decided to add "ahi flower". Didn't agree with me.

I moved to Sports Research, it's Amazon's top selling supplement brand. I currently use both their fish oil (pollack) and their Salmon oil. Good stack, clean, no fishy smell or taste. The capsules are large and I don't think the A accepts returns. Reasonably priced.

I'm also allergic to shellfish so krill/krill oil are out for me. I've never seen EVOO offered as an Omega 3😳

I take Andrew Lessman's Maximum Essential Omega-3. I have taken it for years and have had no reactions. In fact, I only take his vitamins..I went to the eye doctor on the 25th and told her I take his vitamins for eyes. She looked and said these are an excellent source because some have too much zinc. In fact, I have 20/20 vision with my glasses. My eyesight has not varied in the last couple of years. I am in my late 70's.

I know his vitamins are not inexpensive but the quality is excellent.
