Pharmepa COMPLETE

So there are two big problems with omega 3 fish oils - heavy metals and rancid oils. This one has neither. Pharmaepa is a brand I trust. You can email them to request the certificates to check the heavy metal content which I’ve previously done and they were very helpful. One good way to always check rancidness is to cut a capsule and smell it. This way you can rest assured you’re taking good omegas. Excellent quality product.

This is the first supplement I’ve found where I don’t have fishy burps, so it’s wonderful.

They’re expensive, but I think they do their job. I can notice my eyes getting even dryer when I don’t take it. I’d love they’d be cheaper.

Have been using these for a while and notice the difference if I stop taking them for short periods as I am then less resilient! I think they are particularly beneficial post menopause, but also for anyone who suspects they are low in omega 3 (fish, nuts and seeds) who needs to keep mentally sharp and physically active. There are many other nutrients required for health, but as Mediterranean diets are cited as among the healthiest with their rich sources of Omega 3s, it seems worthwhile considering this kind of supplement unless you are prepared to eat masses of linseed, or fresh oily fish.

The box arrived crushed with the capsule strips loose and crushed in the Amazon envelope packet. The product is non-returnable to Igennus and, in fairness, upon contact, Igennus Customer Services provided detailed & helpful advice via email on how to navigate Amazon to transact a return (hence 2 stars for that) but Amazon will not process return after 30 days. Disappointed not to try the product itself. There was no protective wrapping or seal on the product box either which you would expect to have for oral capsules. More robust packaging from manufacturer, Igennus, could have perhaps avoided the problem with Amazon distribution/delivering it crushed. The product price I notice today can fluctuate a lot - my purchase was a the high end at the £20+ mark. UPDATE: Igennus customer services were proactive sent a replacement pack, well packaged. I have had benefits from the capsules.

Excellent

I bought at a great price and trusted the quality and process of the ingredients. My only issue is that to get the dosages as advertised the box label says three soft gel capsules equals one serving and with 60 in the box that means only a 20 day supply. It does also contain vitamin d3 and primrose oil too

I’ve no reason to doubt the quality of the product which I take regularly, however they are awful to swallow. They are described as “softgel” and look like they’d be easy to swallow - but they are like little bullets and stick in the throat alarmingly. I’ve got round this by warming them up (it says to store in a cool place) until they soften when they are easy to swallow. I haven’t experienced any reflux with them. Postscript - I’ve realised that the easiest solution is to bite into them which saves the drama of trying to swallow them!
