The most asked questions we found researching reviews of omega xl
Omega XL is not required to have FDA approval as all the ingredients it contains have been deemed fit for human consumption.
However, as of 2021 the FDA did issue warning letters to Omega XL with the product having been deemed to be making medical claims beyond it's scope in advertising. They were given 15 days to comply and it seems that they have done so. However, it doesn't bode well for the overall scope of OmegaXL and their business practices.
You can buy omega xl from amazon, or from walgreens.
Omega oils have been demonstrated to be beneficial for arthritis pain relief, however, the dosage is much higher than the recommended dosage in Omega XL, as such we wouldn't say it is designed for arthritis. You would have to take 4 omega xl pills a day which would be very expensive.
Omega oil itself shouldn't really have any side effects, aside from the odd one or two customers Omega xl reviews mentioning "fishy burps" which isn't something that's too uncommon with fish oil extract in general there shouldn't be anything serious. Taking too much fish oil supplements can obviously have negative side effects. But, in general the worst thing should be an upset stomach if for some reason you're intolerant. The only thing we should mention is that people with blood conditions should be aware of omega 3's blood thinning effect and see a physician before taking omega xl.
Omega XL ingredients contain, omega 3 fatty acids and some vitamin e. That's your lot. Doesn't really sound like it's worth $40, so let's break it down a little further. Its still not going to be worth $40, but we'll try and do our best to say something nice about Omega XL.
The blend contains 30 fatty acids, mostly comprising of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) which are the two specific omega 3 acids listed in most joint pain relief studies. It claims to contain 22 times omega 3 acids than are in fish oil, but this is a comparison to taking cod liver oil rather than another omega 3 specific supplement.
The reality is that there isn't actually a full recommended daily dose of Omega 3 oils in Omega XL, seeing as the whole dosage is 300mg, and you require more than that of just EPA for it to be effective for most joint issues including arthritis. Also Omega XL is fish oil and despite it's claims is typically only around 40% EPA and DHA. Better joint supplements containing omega oils use Algae (which is more densely packed with active omegas) and higher dosages.
