Looks like the Green Lipped Mussel is the MAGIC potion!!!   LOL!!!!


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

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

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.
