Could someone please tell me what are decent supplement brands I can get at the drug store or health food store? I don't want to order them online.
I am interested in fish oil and don't want to end up with something so gross I can't use it. Also CoQ 10 and any other anti-inflammatoriess anyone may know about. (I am using turmeric). thanks judi |

Krill oil would probably be better for you... no fishy burps etc.
We use MegaRed...and get it at Costco. 2 a day. We find them just a good as fish oil. Hubby likes them better too.

Thanks, I would not like fishy burps. Does it have the same anti inflammatory properties as fish oil? I found fish oil recommended for COPD inflammation.
thanks judi |

Krill oil is better absorbed. So you need less. It has to do with
the phospholipids in the product which enable absorption. It will act in the body the same way, EPA and DHA are in it also. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2...-oil/index.htm We switched to Krill oil about 2 yrs ago. At Costco the cost is much less than retail pharmacies. Amazon also has competitive prices. This is the link to the original size capsule: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012G5YMK There is a new extra one out now too. The MegaRed at Kroger's was really a high price, though!

I heard from a well known nutritionist in my area that Carlson Brand is very good.
A long time ago, I saw on the Dr. Oz show a person who had studied Fish Oils. The take away from it, was that there were only two brands of Fish Oils that this person and the verifying agency he represented would accept as "good." They were checking the amounts of nutrients the label said would be in the tablets and they were checking for impurities. There were only TWO that this expert claimed were acceptable...which was rather shocking (I think). I can NOT remember both names. However, one name was Life Extension. Since this weird little segment on the Dr. Oz show, I only buy my Fish Oil from The Life Extension (LEF) Company. I personally have not experienced the "fish burps." |
