Lowered my total cholesterol, massive lowering of Triglycerides and increase in HDL to 115!
I have been taking AlphaOmega 3 for about 45 days now and just got back my blood lipid profile and wow did things improve over regular fish oil.My triglycerides went from 320 to 124. They have never before been under 300.Total cholesterol went from 280 to 220 but that is not high if you look at the HDL numbers, they went from 70 to 115!HDL, I have high HDL normally (70) due to genetics and diet, but my doctor was in shock when my HDL came in at 115. Never before was that number that high. My doctor here in Florida said not to worry about my total cholesterol with HDL numbers like that.I have felt a reduction in joint pain since I have osteoarthritis (I am 71 years old).No stomach upset and no issues with swallowing. With fish oil I would always need to take it with food but sometimes I got burp-back, with AlphaOmega 3 no issues even on a empty stomach in the AM.I looked up Lysine on Wikipedia and found that it is a natural essential amino acid and there is good proof that it can prevent cold sores in the winter for some people.All in all, this is the best EPA/DHA supplement I have ever tried.Smrtdoc

I tried these for a bit, but have a better suggestion
I was trying to knock down my triglycerides with Omega-3's. Didn't really get far into using these. Much better: Omegalicious gummies from Rainbow Light. One packet a day. Chewy, tasty.

fish oil and blends like osteo biflex
So I have waited about a month to post this review for the Be Whole Alpha Omega 3: free fatty acid, because I know it takes about amonth for supplments to work into your body to where it's having a noticeable effect. That being said I've tried different omega 3s to include krill oil, fish oil and blends like osteo biflex. I have common athelic joint issues like a stiff left hip and a repeatedly injured knee from running, snow boarding, martial arts, etc. Overall, here is what I thought...Pros:-arrived much faster than I expected; within 2 days.-zero burp back, just like the description says. No fish taste or smell AT ALL! Huge plus for me. I hate fish oils.-easy to swallow-there is a noticeable difference in normally stiff joints like my hip and knee. They feel like they move easier.-my skin seems less irritable/ sensitive-improved short term memory-good priceCons:- 2 pills per dose vice 1- not as strong as osteo biflex for relief of joint ache, but it is not meant to be a replacement for glucosamine, so I can't really fault it.In the end, I would purchase it again!

So more squeaky joints
I chose to purchase Alpha Omega 3 for my hip and knee joint problems. I come from a family of both parents having knee and hip replacements. I am 61 and have felt my knee and hips becoming less agile and stiffness when I have been sitting for a long period of time. I have been taking these for a couple of weeks now and have noticed a big difference in the functioning of my knees which is what bothers me the most. I have less pain when getting up and down from a chair and when walking I am noticing that I don't feel the stiffness as much. I take two capsules when I get up in the morning. I have noticed that it does not bother my stomach like other fish oils I have taken. Nor does it leave an aftertaste in my mouth. Alpha Omega 3 is 4.5 times stronger than fresh oil. There are other benefits of Alpha Omega 3 which is good for the heart and cardio support, it helps brain health and function, and it also supports eye health and long-term functioning. So while I am taking this for my joints, I am also getting extra benefits. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with joint problems as I have seen good results.

Precondition your brain against strokes, depression and stress!
Because Alpha Omega 3 is scientifically proven to be a brain conditioner as well as being incredibly helpful to all our other body parts, and because I am 67 years old and a healthy brain is very important for seeing me through my golden years, I added this to my health regimen. I have tried other Omega products but this one has been noticeable in helping to dispel some of the brain fog that was beginning to accumulate. I used the product after I had already done an very intensive cleansing using another Omega 3 product so the difference that was noticeable was valid and very real for me since it was the only change I made in my regimen. I will be putting this product on my “Keep” list and I highly recommend it for reconditioning the brain. I have included an excerpt from a scientific article that initially got me on this path.“The recent discovery that nutrients like alpha-linolenic acid (ALA is an essential Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid required as part of our daily diet), may be an efficient brain preconditionner against stroke fosters the novel concept of brain preconditioning by nutraceuticals. This review stresses the underestimated role of nutrition in preventing and combating stroke. Although there is a consensus that increased consumption of salt, fatty foods and alcoholic beverages may promote pathologies like hypertension, obesity and alcoholism - all of which are well known risk factors of stroke - few risk factors are attributed to a deficiency in an essential nutrient in the diet”.

Missing in Action
I subscibe to this item and like it. My latest subscription box arrive mangled and open. This item did not arrive with the others. I suspect it fell out of the side of the box that was entirely open. This is not the fault of the manufacturer.

Don't spend your hard earned money
Not impressed at all and totally bummed that I spent that much money on a product that is not notable except to warn others.
