Omega XL-Review
Product Claims of Omega XL
It can be very difficult to get sufficient amounts of omega-3 from our regular diets, particularly if we don't eat a lot of fish. Therefore, we may have to take omega-3 supplements to rectify this anomaly. One of the supplements available on the market is Omega XL. This supplement is highly concentrated with over 30 healthy fatty acids including omega-3 DHA and EPA. It also claims to contain up to 22 times more omega-3 free fatty acids than regular fish oil. Omega XL's main aim seems to be to help to reduce joint pain and inflammation. Read our full Omega XL review for more details.
Ingredients
Omega XL's ingredients are:
- Perna Canaliculus PCSO-524 patented oil extract - Provides a rich source of over 30 essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA which work in unison to relieve pain and fight inflammation.
- Natural monounsaturated olive oil - contains oleocanthal, a compound with similar properties to Aspirin which helps in reducing inflammation and stiffness hence relieving joint pain.
- Vitamin E - In addition to being a good anti-inflammatory agent, vitamin E gives the body the support it needs to fight off free radicals as well as boost the production of healthy red blood cells.
The manufacturer has not provided detailed information on the quantities of each ingredient and how much DHA and EPA this supplement actually contains. There is no product label displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Dosage instructions
The recommended dosage is two (2) softgels a day. It is recommended to take this supplement with meals to avoid stomach upset for those who are sensitive.

Summary of Our Omega XL Review
Omega-3 is a common ingredient in joint care supplements due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The fish oil in Omega XL is derived from lipped mussel extract (PSCO-524) which contains over 30 essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA. This makes Omega XL a seemingly perfect solution for joint pain and arthritis. However, the manufacturer has not provided any specific information about the ingredients such as the quantity of fish oil in the supplement and the amount of EPA and DHA. This is vital information that should be provided to potential customers. Despite the good money-back guarantee, this product is quite expensive. Plus, if you don't read the small print before buying the product, you will automatically be billed each month, a higher amount than your initial order. The automatic shipping and the lack of information the manufacturer provides, leads us to suggest looking for other alternatives on the market.
