"My husband started taking this because it was supposed to help with joint pain. He took it for 8 months and felt no different. My mom said he would probably notice that it worked if he got off of it. No difference, it did not help his joint pain. Complete waste of money. He has finally given up on herbal remedies and started taking celebrex( even though he hates prescription medicine) which has taken away about half his pain."

Try NSI Omega 3-6-9 for twice the quantity at the same price."

"The use of EFAs has long been known as a pain reliever. I never believed that until after having taken them for a number of years now. I don't know the mechanism by which they work, but they do honestly relieve pain--not to mention the marvelous things they do for your brain and cardio vascular system."

"Ish. I got these for some reason thinking they would be better for my seven year old- there is no way she could swallow even one of these (three are in a serving size). They are huge horse pills. Despite the reviews of having the "wonderful" strawberry flavor, they are disgusting in taste and my husband and I have suffered from fishy burps all day as a result. Yuck."

"I am on an inflammation reduction diet plan and it recommends fish oil GLA, ALA, DHA 3 x daily if fatty fish is not consumed. I was ecstatic to find a product that combined the oils in one with little after taste. And, as always, a great buy through Vitacost!"

I've tried several, but found this one to be the best for my condition. The fact that it's good for me is a bonus!"

"When you take EFA you need to be cautious about the rate between Omega3 and Omega6. that is the point.

We need more omega3 than omega6 as supplements because we take much more omega6 than omega3 in our normal daily lives.

This complete EFA is perfectly adjusted for this. and I love it.

I'm a repeat buyer."

"Too much people say "Fats are bad...don't eat fats" and cut down fats in their Diet.

I'm a biologist student and I know how "good" fats are important for the body.

Omega-3 and omega-6 are types of essential fatty acids. Meaning we cannot make them on our own and have to obtain them from our diet.

Stay way from Trans Fats but go on EFA.
I'm very satisfied of this produt. I take 3pills per day. They complete my Diet.

Cheap, easy to swallow and a little good taste.
Higly recommended"
