Barlean's Lemon Zest Fish Oil Swirl, 8-Ounce

Comparatively speaking, this fish oil might be good tasting vs. other fish oils. But don't expect this to taste like pie filling. I was looking for something my little boy would accept that is high in omega 3, and after reading the reviews (for the 16 oz. bottle), I was convinced I'd found it. Well, it's impossible to disguise the smell of fish oil. The taste isn't all that offensive as long as you get it down quick, but the smell is still part of the whole experience. He won't take it, and the rest of us also have trouble getting it down. Just wanted to warn those of you out there who have read the same reviews as I....this doesn't taste like pie filling, you won't want to lick the spoon to get every last drop, it's still pretty nasty. If anyone has ideas on how to "bury" the fish smell with something else, please let me know.

This fish oil swirl is fantastic. Tastes exactly like a lemon smoothie and my 6 year old doesn't complain at all. We call it his Brain Juice!

Buy Barlean's Lemon Zest Fish Oil Swirl, 8-Ounce Now

Received samples of omega swirl and the flax swirl in an EcoEmi box a few months back so when my doc told me to take fish oil supplements, this was my first choice. I've had my bottle of Barlean's omega swirl Lemon Zest flavor for about a week now and it's so easy to take. It primarily lives in my work desk, away from refrigeration and it has not effected the taste. It's shockingly easy to eat and tastes a lot like a sweet lemon candy with a hint of cream and a dash of pucker. A couple of daily spoonfuls is an easy dose to manage tomorrow I'm going to try it in my morning tea. Very happy with this product.

I received the product and it was seeping from the seal. I didn't return it because I didn't feel like going through that hassle. Tastes fine. I'm going to see if that happens again and if it does I'll go buy it at the store. I saw some that said it tastes like fish or tastes rancid but it's smooth and lemony. I just want to keep eating it. haha

Exfolishave is a remarkable product that has changed my sensitive bump prone skin to smooth, soft and hair free! I use just a tiny amount and it makes such a huge difference in my skin texture. It stops hair growth for a few more days and makes the reshaving of the same areas easier each time. I am in love with this product especially since it is all natural! Thank you for a wonder product and I am interested in buying more of your cleansers when they are released! (especially a just for body and face exfoliant!) My skin has never been this soft and smooth!! Thank You!!

Gnc Well Being Be-Hot Turbopak for women

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $37.95
Today's Bonus: 24% Off

I've been taking BE HOT for awhile now and as one who was frustrated by reading vague reviews, I thought I'd come back and share my experiences with you so that you'll know what you're getting from this product. So far I've been taking BE HOT for 40 days now and so far I've lost 12 lbs! That may not seem like much to most people but for someone who was barely able to lose 3 lbs, I was excited! This did not come without effort however. The firs tthing I noticed about this product is that it really doesn't come with any detailed instructions on how to take it. That's ok. I played around with it a little bit and discovered that I got better results if I took the red, pink and gold pill in the morning (before my first workout and just before breakfast) and then take the red and pink pill 8 hours later just before eating my lunch. As mentioned, I played around with it a bit so I also found out that if I took this any time within 8 hours before planning to go to bed I would find myself up until the wee hours of the morning so I would advise you not to take it within eight hours of going to sleep!

Energy boost without the jittery feeling The first thing you should know about this product is that even though you will feel a boost in energy, it probably won't be right away. For me, I felt the energy boost on the 2nd day. Even so, once you get the energy boost it will NOT be of the jittery variety (which I appreciate) but one where you'll feel like you can get a lot done in one day! If you're not already high energy or you're not a morning person, this will be a gem to you as you may notice that you're able to get up earlier and earlier without struggling which for me is a good thing.

Exercise and other efforts Another point worth noting is that this is not one of those products that you can take without exercising. I've read countless reviews from people who seem to believe that once they take a pill their pounds should magically melt away. As with most thermogenic weight-loss products, this product is meant to ASSIST you with your weight loss but not do the whole thing for you. When I took this I made sure that I ate the equivalent of 500 calories less than what my body burns in a day (for me this came out to be 1200 calories) and I spread those calories out throughout the day. I drank a lot of water (kept it at my desk )and even though I can't stand to drink water this product made me want to which was good and I also tried to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night for the sake a recuperation. As for working out, like the literature says if you take this while you're working out, it will enhance the fat burn. So even though you might think that you're only burning 300 calories you're really burning more. So the one thing I didn't have to do is work as hard as I would need to if I wasn't taking it. For instance, I didn't have to run 3 miles on the treadmill in order to lose weight. Instead I would WALK for 30 minutes on the treadmill at about 3.0 3.5 mph, go to work at my sedentary (desk) job and maybe I would do another half an hour after work (but sometimes I would skip that). Even with that small effort within two days I would usually see weight loss. This is not something that I could've done without this product. However, if I didn't do any exercise while taking this product then I didn't lose any weight so that's the point I'm trying to make. In order to get results from this product you do have to do some things for yourself. So here are-

THE PROS

* Energy boost without the jittery feeling you feel refreshed and energetic without feeling like you're going to jump out of your own skin!

* A more thorough supplement for the money Although it is advisable for you to take a multivitamin along with this product, it still provides a great deal for the money. There's a thermogenic pill for energy, a pill for definition and a pill for overall skin health. I've noticed more energy with the thermogenic, definition in my body from doing the simplest of exercises and I've noticed significant fat loss in my

ab area (which I attribute to the CLA in the product). I don't know too many products that would give you all of that at the same time!

* Pills are already separated by dosage You don't have to separate pills each morning and put it in your own container. All the pills you need to take that day are already separated in packs so all you have to do is grab a pack, drop it in your bag and go!

THE CONS

* If you don't exercise and you don't create a calorie deficit (which is pretty much many calories your body burns when you're resting minus 500 calories per day) you will not lose weight. Period.

* You will have to take five pills a day and two of the pills (the pink and gold ones) are pretty big.

When I purchased this at GNC it cost around 40 something dollars but with my GNC card it only cost me $35 for a month's supply. At the end of the first month I thought about what would happen if I bought these products separately (a thermogenic , Omega 3 pills and CLA) but I quickly realized that to buy all of them separately would cost more than if I just purchased the Be Well packs. So bottom line is that it's a pretty thorough product and I would recommend this to anyone who is already considering putting in the effort to lose weight.

Hope this helps!

I absolutely love Be-Hot! As a GNC employee, I try a lot of products so that I actually know what I'm talking about when customers ask questions and this is one of the very best diet products we carry.

Be-Hot comes in 30 individually wrapped packets, just like the VitaPaks, so that you can cut out the bulky pill boxes. Also like the VitaPaks, each Be-Hot packet should be split up: take one of each pill in the morning with breakfast, and then take whatever pills are left over at lunchtime.

I took Be-Hot for two months without changing my daily routine and lost 18 pounds. I cycled off for one month and then took Be-Hot for another two months with dieting & exercise and lost another 20 pounds. This is absolutely the product I recommend when people come into GNC looking for a "miracle pill." Only a handful of customers are ever unhappy with Be-Hot and it's usually due to the amount of pills. Most people, myself included, just aren't into taking an additional five pills a day to the ones they already take.

I've always had a sensitivity to diet pills and energy enhancing products. I can't even take too many regular vitamins at one time. This pack is great. As long as you don't take them on an empty stomach (I take them with a protein shake in the morning) they will be good to you. I don't get the shakes or sickly. They don't make you crash like an energy drink. You should read the other reviews on GNC's site. They're not some miracle pillsyou still have to actually put forth effort if you want to see results. I noticed they were working after only a week. I was already working out and eating well before I started this product. It's doubled my ability to get in shape. Try it for yourself-

I took Be Hot about 3 years ago, and the first week I lost about 5 pounds. It made me so I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat much. I didn't exercise much either. Then I started working out and I really noticed a difference. I lost over 10 pounds in a month. I got scared because a couple of times while I was taking it, I had terrible chest pains. I think it's really bad to increase the heart rate "artificially." Heart disease runs in my family so I thought I'd better stop taking the Be Hot. As soon as I quit taking it, the chest pains stopped. It's too bad because it really did help me lost weight. I'd rather weigh a little more than be dead! Just be careful if you have heart issues at all.

I have very thick, very frizzy hair. I bought this a couple of years back from a salon for about $10 more than this. I loved it then -it worked SO well on my hair. But I didn't like paying the price for it. Since then I have tried everything under the sun as a substitute. I used BioSilk, FrizzEase, CitriShine, etc. At one point or another I have tried almost every other brand/product out there. And now I'm back to this. A bottle lasts a long time, and truthfully, it's worth the money. It's just that much more of a superior product. My hair smooth and untangled when I use this. I highly recommend!

I am a licensed hairstylist and I can get most any product I want at cost. Sadly, this doesn't include the Kerastase line because none of the local suppliers have it. In general I don't buy anything that I have to pay retail cost for. That being said, I will GLADLY pay the $30+ for this stuff.

I have very thick, unruly, frizzy, naturally wavy hair. Before finding this product, I would use at least 3 or 4 other professional smoothing products on a typical day and it still wouldn't be as smooth as this (even using a Chi flat iron). I figure in the long run this actually costs less because the one bottle does the job.

I bought this on my stylist's recommendation and couldn't be happier. The serum does everything it claims.

Definitely worth my money!

I bought this lemon oil to repel spiders that seemed to like the inside of our new house. I put about 15-20 drops of lemon oil in a small spray bottle, add one or two drops of dishwashing liquid (to help dilute the lemon oil which is not water soluble by itself) and then fill up with water. Then I spray all the entrances into the house on the inside (door posts, windows, etc.). I also spray corners inside the house and all places where spiders might like to hide. The trick is to use this inside the house only spiders hate lemon oil and stay out of your house. In fact, I have seen a spider die from one direct spray of this lemon water! We have not had problems with spiders since we started to use this product. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a problem with spiders in the house. Plus your house will smell great!

I had this product for a bit now. I do what other sites recommend. Lemon oil + dish soap + water. I been spraying around the house just about every 3-4 weeks.

The reason im writing this now? Im in my kitchen getting some burritos ready and while im walking to the fridge I see a huge black dot on the ceiling.

I live in norcal so we don't get huge nasty spiders. We probably live in the best place in the world in terms of dangerous animals (barely any here). This one was dark black with a maroonish abdomen with the spider about the size of a half dollar.

I saw it, I was like "aw snap." It was like my whole life flash in front of me . Then in my flashback, I recall one day reading about some one mentioning on here that you can also use the prevent spray to blast spiders to death "eco friendly" style. So I got my spray and snuck up on it like Call of Duty style and blasted the fool. Sucker fell down from the ceiling balled up. I blasted it some more. Then I gave it its proper burial.... wrapped the sob up in toilet paper and flushed it down the throne... porcelain throne.

If this lemon oil combo didn't work, that spider could easily be typing up a taunt telling how the lemon oil didn't work but it did. I walked out alive.

I recently started mixing up my own cleaning products to get away from using so many chemicals in my home. I've added this lemon oil to the toilet bowl cleaner I made (borax, washing soda and lemon oil) and homemade furniture polish (olive oil, vinegar and lemon oil). I've even added it to the organic unscented floor cleaner that I purchased.

We used to have very obvious pet odors, but after a couple weeks of cleaning with this oil, the odor is gone, and my whole home has a light lemon scent. The scent is not over-powering like a chemical lemon scent might be. It just smells clean.By the way, the scent lasts about 3 days on floors, longer on our wood furniture, but the pet odor has not returned at all.

I've been using NOW products and supplements for years and have always found them to be good quality. My next experiment will be homemade laundry soap (castile soap and borax dissolved in hot water) with a bit of NOW Foods Lavender Oil, 2 ounce.

*****

This is a side-by-side comparison of four EPA only nutraceutical supplements and two pharmaceutical drugs: OmegaVia EPA 500, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life, Garden of Life Minami Nutrition Plus EPA Mind Formula, Nordic Naturals EPA Elite, Vascepa, and Lovaza. These nutraceutical supplements and the drug, Vascepa, are what are known in the field as "EPA-only" products.

EPA-ONLY PRUDUCTS: OmegaVia EPA 500 is a new EPA-only product, introduced by Innovix Pharma Inc. in August 2013. Innovix also manufactures OmegaVia Pharma-Grade Fish Oil (see, OmegaVia Pharma-Grade Fish Oil, 1300 mg Enteric Burp-Free Capsule (1105 mg Omega-3/pill) 60 Capsules). The formula for OmegaVia EPA 500 is similar to that of Vascepa, which is manufactured by Amarin Pharma Inc. Vascepa is a prescription pharmaceutical drug. These EPA-only formulations are specially geared for folks with blood lipid issues, skin disorders, mood disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression) and inflammation (e.g., arthritis, colitis, and Crohn's Disease). They are also specially geared towards the reduction of triglycerides levels. There are very few nutraceutical companies that have taken a similar approach. While they don't specifically say it, these EPA-only omega-3 fish oil supplements and the drug, Vascepa, appear to target Lovaza market, offering distinct advantages over Lovaza, such as being non-prescriptive (in the case of the nutraceuticals), much less expensive, and a significantly higher omega-3 fish oil potency. However, these EPA-only products are not ideal for pregnant women and women who are nursing a child because they do not contain DHA.

There are three major components of omega-3: EPA (which is good for your heart, circulatory system, lowering triglycerides, depression and mood orientation, and is a powerful anti-inflammatory for soothing joint pains), DHA (which is good for your mental acuity, or if you are pregnant, nursing an infant, or for children), and "other." Other omega-3s, like DPA and SDA, are types of fatty acids which are easily converted to EPA in the body. In most fish oils, the amount of these other fatty acids is low, but in highly concentrated oils, it can be a significant amount. DHA and other omega-3 have been eliminated or significantly reduced in these products.

BREAKDOWN: Here is a breakdown of the important elements of these supplements and drugs.

IFOS: The International Fish Oil Standards Program ("IFOS") (Google "IFOS consumer reports") is an independent third party omega-3 testing organization that provides batch-specific summaries of a product's IFOS testing results. The reports include a 5-star rating for each product containing greater than 60% concentration of EPA and DHA per gram of fish oil, allowing consumers to compare fish oil products based on their safety, purity and quality. Most of the highly rated omega-3 fish oil products are listed. Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is listed as a five star omega-3 fish oil product, which is the highest rating attainable.

SUPERCRITICAL DUAL-PROCESS CO2 TECHNOLOGY: OmegaVia EPA 500, Garden of Life Minami Nutrition Plus EPA Mind Formula, and Vascepa are not molecularly distilled. They use a proprietary Supercritical Dual-Process CO2 Technology which concentrates omega-3s, yielding unique selectivity of one of the most biologically active omega-3 fatty acids EPA. Using less heat, less repeat processing, and natural carbon dioxide as a solvent, allows these products to reach peak concentrations approximating 100% EPA, omitting superfluous fats and fillers. 400% less heat than molecular distillation is used during the entire process, with no oxygen exposure. Natural CO2 is used as an alternative to organic solvents and protects the final product from oxidation. In my opinion, Supercritical Dual-Process CO2 Technology is superior to molecular distillation.

PRESCRIPTION: Vascepa and Lovaza are prescription drugs. None of the other supplements, which accomplish the same thing, require a prescription.

EPA CONTENT: OmegaVia EPA 500 has an EPA potency of 87%, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life has an EPA potency of 77%, Garden of Life Minami Nutrition Plus EPA Mind Formula has an EPA potency of 63%, Nordic Naturals EPA Elite has an EPA potency of 83%, Vascepa has an EPA potency of 96%, and Lovaza has an EPA potency of 47%.

PRICE: Lovaza and Vascepa are the most expensive of the comparison ($2.17 per gel cap and $1.75 per gel cap, respectively). Of the non-prescriptive drugs, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is the most expensive of the comparison ($1.10 per gel cap); followed by Nordic Naturals EPA Elite ($.71 per gel cap); followed by Garden of Life Minami Nutrition Plus EPA Mind Formula ($.55 per gel cap); and followed by OmegaVia EPA 500, which is the least expensive of the comparison ($.24 per gel cap). In my view, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life and Nordic Naturals EPA Elite are over-priced.

PILL SIZE: OmegaVia EPA 500 is at the lowest (smallest) end of the comparison (500 mgs); Vascepa, Lovaza, and Nordic Naturals EPA Elite are mid-range in the comparison (1000 mgs); and Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is at the highest (largest) end of the comparison (1200 mgs). In terms of size, all of these gel caps are manageable for most folks.

ENTERIC COATING: OmegaVia EPA 500 has "clear enteric" coating. This is a new, proprietary process that includes the enteric coating inside the gelatin shell. Most regular enteric coatings are sprayed onto the outside of capsules, so they look frosty. This capsule is clear.

OmegaVia EPA 500 and Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life are two of the few omega-3 fish oil products that are enteric coated. Enteric coating is used to prevent fish oil capsules from being digested in the stomach, which can cause a "fishy reflux." However, this problem is limited to only low grade, poorly manufactured fish oil products. Highly purified fish oil supplements that are manufactured to maintain freshness do not generally produce this fishy reflux, especially if the product is taken with food as recommended. Further, the only people who experience fishy burps from even high quality fish oil supplements are those with sensitive GI tract issues, for whom enteric coating may provide some relief from fishy burps, but may also interfere with absorption of the key nutrients in the supplement.

There is some evidence that suggests that enteric coating is not required and may actually hinder or impede proper absorption of omega-3 fish oil. In my view, however, this body of evidence is not conclusive.

Bottom line, if you have sensitive GI tract issues and experience fishy burps from omega-3 fish oil supplements, you may want to consider an enteric coated product.

FISHY BURPS/ODOR: I have not noticed any fish burps or odor caused by Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life, although I do not have GI tract issues so I'm probably not the best one to judge this aspect.

VITAMIN D3: Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life contains 1000 I.U. of Vitamin D3. I don't believe this is terribly significant, as Vitamin D3 can be purchased for very little money, and lots of folks who take it consume more than 1000 I.U. daily. It is my opinion that Vitamin D3 is an unnecessary additive.

LIPASE: Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life contains 4 mgs of Lipase, which is a fat digesting enzyme. Most omega-3 fish oil products do not contain Lipase. However, the human body produces more than adequate amounts of Lipase and, therefore, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life's reference to its benefits might be somewhat enthusiastic.

VEGETARIAN: Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is the only one of these products that is vegetarian.

MEALS: Any ethyl esters based and triglycerides based omega-3 fish oils, as well as both of these prescription drugs, are best taken with a meal containing some fat, as they are more efficiently absorbed when taken with food.

THE LOVAZA COMPARISON: Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is not inexpensive for a high grade omega-3 fish oil product. However, by comparison with the popular and well-known FDA approved prescription drug, Lovaza, which is made from omega-3 fish oil, Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life is cheap. Each Lovaza 1000 mg capsule has 840 mgs of omega-3 fish oil (465 mgs of EPA and 375 mgs of DHA). Each Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life gel cap has 1000 mgs of EPA. Lovaza costs about $260.00 for a bottle of 120 pills, or about $2.17 per pill. Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life costs about $33.99 for a bottle of 30 gel caps, or about $1.13 per gel cap. You get more EPA potency per gel cap from Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life than you do from Lovaza at a fraction of the cost, and it is non-prescriptive. All of this poses an interesting question for Lovaza users: If Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life has more EPA potency than Lovaza per gel cap at a fraction of the cost, why not use it instead of Lovaza? This is a question Lovaza users may want to ask their physicians, pharmacists or nutritionists.

LOVAZA INFORMATION UNCONFIRMED: I called GlaxoSmithKline, Lovaza's parent company, to obtain information about certain aspects of Lovaza's content, specifically about whether the product contained GMOs, cholesterol, or mercury, and whether the product was purified using molecular distillation or Supercritical Dual-Process CO2 technology. I was not able to obtain that information. I was able only to confirm the warning on the company's website that the use of Lovaza can increase LDL bad cholesterol by as much as 45%, and that it contains soy.

OPINION: There are a few things I like about Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life. It is IFOS five star rated; it contains no soy; it contains no GMOs; it is mercury free; it is molecularly distilled; it is cholesterol free; and, it is certified Halal. On the other hand, it contains cholesterol; it is not certified Kosher; and, it is very expensive for an omega-3 fish oil supplement.

RATING:

I rated OmegaVia EPA 500 five stars because it is IFOS five star certified; it has a very high EPA potency (87%); it uses Supercritical Dual-Process CO2 Technology; it contains no soy, GMOs, cholesterol, or mercury; it is enteric coated; and it is non-prescriptive. It is the only one of these EPA only products that is inexpensive for an omega-3 fish oil supplement.

I rated Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 Omega Renew Life five stars because it is IFOS five star certified; it has a high EPA potency (83%); it contains no soy, GMOs, or mercury; it is vegetarian; it is enteric coated; and it is non-prescriptive. It is extremely expensive for an omega-3 fish oil supplement.

I rated Garden of Life Minami Nutrition Plus EPA Mind Formula four stars because it is not IFOS certified; its EPA potency is low (63%); it uses Supercritical Dual-Process CO2 Technology; it contains soy but no GMOs, no cholesterol, and no mercury; it is not enteric coated; and it is non-prescriptive. It is moderately expensive for an omega-3 fish oil supplement.

I rated Nordic Naturals EPA Elite five stars because it is IFOS five star certified; it has a high EPA potency (80%); it contains no soy, GMOs, or mercury; and it is non-prescriptive. It is very expensive for an omega-3 fish oil supplement.

I rated Vascepa four stars because it is not IFOS five star certified; it has an extremely high EPA potency (96%); and it contains no soy, GMOs, or mercury. It is prescriptive and extremely expensive when compared with omega-3 fish oil supplements.

I rated Lovaza two stars because it is not IFOS certified; it has a very low EPA potency (47%) and it contains soy. It is prescriptive and extremely expensive when compared with omega-3 fish oil supplements. In addition, in my opinion, the company was evasive and demonstrated a lack of transparency in response to inquiries about the product.

I have separately reviewed all of these products.

I specifically ordered this brand and product as they were recommended by Brenda Watson. They are a little difficult to swallow due to the size, but seem to be excellent quality and I didn't experience any fishy burps. I am very happy with my purchase.

Today's Bonus:

I got the black seed oil for my husband who has been fighting upper respiratory illnesses a lot since he had pneumonia in 2006. He has had asthma his entire life and allergic reactions always trigger an attack. Since he started taking this, his allergies have been almost non existent. My son in law was having major allergy problems and took about 1/2 tsp. He gagged on the taste but the allergy symptoms vanished. The taste is bad so we put it into the small gelatin capsules we buy here on Amazon. For us, it is the only way to take it. We continue to use this as it has proven itself in our home.
