Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA Fish Oil, Sesame Lignans & Olive Extract – Heart Health, Brain Health, Inflammation Health Support, Gluten-Free, Enteric-Coated, Non-GMO, 120 Softgels

I don't write reviews. I usually never have the time. I had to make time for this product, however. Let me explain. There is no TL;DR - You may need to nap a bit. This stuff is awesome. There. If you want the Cliffnotes. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I am now in my mid-forties. Five years ago, I was in a small car accident that I didn't think twice about - it literally was a bump. But it was more than nothing to my already beat up, worn out, and abused body. I have several bulging lumbar discs, cervical discs, and probably have enough arthritis in me to fill a small swimming pool all from an accident I had back in 2001. When I was 250-ish pounds. Fast forward to the part where I fell out of a bus a few years later and ballooned up to a eye-popping 381 pounds. Lost a little bit. Fell through the (soaked and rotted) kitchen floor at my ex's house - one leg only. Had the car accident. Found out several years later that I tore the labrum in my right hip. My left leg had to do double duty to keep me from falling all over the place just trying to walk from one room to another in a small apartment. Multiple surgeries... Two years ago, I noticed my hips were aching, almost burning, whenever I would walk. It didn't matter what shoes I wore or didn't wear. It didn't matter if I sat down a bit and tried again. The pain would always come back and make walking so painful I didn't want to leave the bed. At 373 pounds, the last thing I want to do was stay in the bed all day, every day. I'm overweight, not dead! But I'll be damned if I don't feel like rigor mortis has set in most of the time. Everyone looks at you like you're lazy, when inside your body feels like it's made of gd glass and all you want to do is die. That is until it occurred to me that my problem might be either bursitis or arthritis. I wasn't about to go to my doctor. She's nice enough, but I'm in Alabama and I'm sorry.. sometimes, her staff can be a camp of idiots. Like right now. But that's a different review - just sayin. My mother, Mumm-Ra, takes fish oil supplements for her arthritis - among other things. I tried hers. I didn't feel different the entire time I took it - a week, week and a half. Was I not doing it right? I was taking the recommended dosage, but the caps were so tiny. Maybe I messed it up. IDK. I started to do some research online. It took me a while and I found a page that was listing all the things we should be looking for in a really good supplement. Of course, it depends on what your needs are. My needs are to not be in any more damn pain, I don't know about you. ;) Anyway, there were some listings of a few and I selected this brand out of all of them in the list because of the lignans. Lignans are polyphenols (big word for "badasses") that studies have shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's true. The research is there: https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/dietary-factors/phytochemicals/lignans Sold! I ordered it and waited. And I swear, by all that is good and holy, the day after I took my first dose (2 caplets) there was NO PAIN. I thought I had been flimflammed. Seriously. This was a fluke. Right? Sure. So I took that day's dose and waited. The next day, same result. And the next. And the next. And the... it's been over 2 months now. The first bottle, I only ordered a small bottle. I just had my second delivery about 2 weeks ago, and I ordered 240 caplets. I got the small the first time because I didn't want to waste money on a product that might not work out. I mean, I know I could get a refund, but I might be too lazy to even bother. I just wanted to make it easier for me. A small loss is easier to walk away from. My mother is also taking them and they have improved her mobility with one of her knees - the other has been replaced so it's fine. I've never seen her so ... not upset about how her body feels. She actually can get out of the chair without screaming so loud it can be heard on the moon. I will continue to buy this product for as long as I need it - switching between this one, which is made with anchovy oil, and the other, which is made with krill oil. It's a lifesaver. It really is. There is one thing though. Please don't take this on an empty stomach. It is coated so it won't upset your stomach, but if you do take it without eating first, you might feel a bit like you have indigestion for a long while. It's not a good feeling. Eat first, then take the caplets. I only needed to take half the recommended dosage. Figure out what works best for you.

I’ve been taking this supplement for several months and have noticed improvements in my energy, mental clarity, and triglyceride levels. I like that it combines EPA/DHA with sesame lignans and olive extract, which adds antioxidant support. No fishy burps or aftertaste. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a high-quality omega‑3.

Used these daily for 4 months and have noticed a difference in my mental health. Easy to swallow and doesn't cause any stomach issues.

Great Omega 3 product. Been using it for 3 years now. No fishy taste after swallowing. Helps keep my triglycerides low.

We love Life Extension Foundation products and this is included. We had been using NOW Brand Omega. This bottle must have had one of the capsules leak... so all of the capsules were oily and smelly - not rancid, just smelly. I will order another bottle without question but if the next bottle has the same issue, will probably switch back to NOW brand.

Love because they DO NOT give fish burps!

Precio y calidad de excelencia

I have purchased this product for years and was always very please. The last two bottles however, they were different: different color, different smell, foul taste and oily coating. The first time I thought it was a fluke and that a capsule had ruptured. The second time, I had the same issue and contacted the company about it. I was told they changed the fish source composition in January 2024 which might have caused the new smell/ taste, but they didn't address the texture and/ or rupturing in a convincing manner. My guess is the new formula might leak a bit, which causes the bottle to smell horrible. I tried going through it, but the taste and smell permeates my pill box and it makes it hard to swallow, even if the product is safe (which they assured me it is) I was told that if I had purchased it directly from Life Extension they would take it back but since it was purchased from Amazon I have to return here. I will just dispose it, since it is past the return window. I will return to purchasing Nordic Naturals which is consistent and reliable.
