Omega 3 Krill Oil



Details: Number One Nutrition: Premium dietary supplement: Omega 3 Krill Oil promotes cardiovascular health, natural source of omega 3, 6, 9 with astaxanthin.  60 soft gels per bottle, 1000mg per serving.  Take 2 soft gels daily with meals.

My Review:  This is the second time in my life that I have tried Krill Oil as my Omega 3 oils.  I have taken fish oil my whole life, and with my earliest memory being when I was in middle school I have about 20 years of different types of fish oil brands, omega 3 brands under my belt of taking these.  Most have fishy after tastes that you burp up multiple times after taking your suggested daily dose.  I have had some brands that smell fishy but have no fishy after taste, and everything in between.  Number One Nutrition Omega 3 Krill Oil is a medium sized soft gel that is super easy to take, easy to swallow, but it smells even worse than most fishy smelling fish oils.  However, if you can get past that smell these soft gels are the best that I've ever taken.  My normal fish oil soft gels are horse sized, and I have to take 2 daily, with no fishy smell, and a slight fishy after taste that you burp up.  However, to be honest, I don't mind taking this super smelly Omega 3 Krill Oil because there is no fishy after taste, even if you take these with no food.  That is the first time I've experienced this type of dietary supplement before.  In my mind that is impressive.  Like all vitamins or minerals, dietary supplements, you don't see them working instantly, your body needs the time to ingest, fill up, use and absorb before you will see results.  And with fish oils/ Omega 3's you don't really see the results right away and sometimes not at all until you go to the doctor.  I like how my body feels, I'm glad I am giving my body the essential fatty acids it needs, and I'm finding my body feeling better and healthier when I take Krill oil.  So in this sense I will recommend this product.

Pros: easy to swallow, no fishy after taste you burp up, medium-small soft gels, high potency of krill oil in each daily serving.

Cons: smells like rotten dead fish (super strong smelling)

My Review:  Vitamin D is very important to women who need calcium way more than men do.  However, many women aren't recieving the correct amount of Vitamin D their bodies need to absorb calcium, help their bones, and teeth that they need because their bodies aren't absorbing enough Vitamin D.  I have read studies that say to go outside for up to 30 minutes without sunscreen to absorb pure Vitamin D.  However not everyone can absorb enough Vitamin D in that short amount of time, and usually any time after 30 minutes in the sun, sun burns start.  I have personally asked my doctor how much of both Vitamin D and Calcium my body needs, and I was getting half or less than what my body needed.  So I got a good all natural vitamin due that has both calcium and vitamin D in high potencies.  However  to get what my doctor recommended I was supposed to swallow 4 huge horse pills daily.  A task that usually went undone than done because I am not one for giant horse pills.

When I saw this product, and that the amount or potency of the Vitamin D was higher than taking those 4 giant horse pills I knew I needed to check it out.  What luck!  These soft gels are tiny, easy to take, and you get more for your money.  I am very glad to have found this product, now to find a calcium that's similar and I'll be set.  But I don't mind taking 2-3 small calcium pills so the Vitamin D3 is absorbed into my body and my body gets the amount of calcium it needs too.  I highly recommend this product!

Pros: high potency, small soft gels, easy to take, quick to swallow, comes with the healthy oil to absorb fully and quickly into body

Cons: none

Slender Cleanse Advanced

Details: Slender Cleanse Advanced: lost weight fast, increase energy, naturally detoxify/ decrease bloating, promote regularity, Green coffee, and chlorogenic acid, 60 capsules per bottle, dietary supplement.  Directions: as a dietary supplement take 1 capsule twice daily, 30 minutes before meals with an 8oz glass of water.  Ingredients: fennel seed, cascara sagrada, ginger, goldenseal, pumpkin seed, buckthorne root, licorice root, phubarb, citruc pectin, adicophilus, cape aloe, bentonite clay, aloe vera, cayenne pepper, senna, oat bran, prune juice and flax seed oil.  Can be purchased with the paired product on amazon.

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary as a product review, I only recommend products that I personally test, try and review.

My Review:  About a month ago I started using this product in combination with Garcinia Cambogia Advanced.  They are a paired dietary supplement for weight loss and all that comes with loosing weight, gaining energy and such.  For the Slender Cleanse Advanced it says to take one capsule twice daily 30 minutes before your meal.  I have to be honest, this isn't the first time I've taken a weight loss pill 30 minutes before a meal, but usually its before every meal, not just two, so I was pretty skeptical on if it would be strong enough to do something positive for my body.  These products are suggested for men and women who need to loose 10 lbs or more.  Its also claimed that you should notice weight loss within the first week, and if you loose more than the recommended safe loss of lbs in one week to stop taking this product pair.  For me personally I had a hard time remembering to take this because I didn't take it for breakfast, I needed it for lunch and dinner.  So that wasn't a good start.  between this product and the Garcinia Cambogia Advanced, the positive things that I noticed are these: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area which does help with weight loss.  The negatives that I noticed is that I didn't loose weight (maybe a pound or two, but not enough to swear by these products), and I woke up starving to the point of nausea which isn't good.

At the same time I honestly feel like I didn't give my best to this product review, but because of a deadline I needed to post a review.  So what I'm going to do is continue to use this product, more diligently because I really do want to see weight loss going on in my body. In a couple of weeks I'll come back and post my results.  In fact I'm going to start today! Wish me luck on this journey, as I really focus as much as I can on taking this product the way it is supposed to be taken, so that I do get positive results.  I would love to come back and say I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks or 3 weeks.

Pros: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area

Cons: I didn't loose weight, I woke up starving to the point of nausea

Garcinia Cambogia Advanced

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Details: New advanced formula, Garcinia cambogia advanced. Limits fat production, burns existing fat for enemy, boost energy and mood naturally, high level of HCA helps stop the stress hormone cortisol, gluten free product.  60 capsules per bottle.  Dietary supplement.  You can find this in a paired set of weight loss dietary supplements on amazon.  Directions: take as a dietary supplement, take two capsules daily after last meal of the day.

My Review: I have never tried this product before, so to get to use this for a month to test, try and review was very good for me.  The fact that this is a capsule helps me take it better than if it was a pill or tablet.  I usually took them after dinner shortly before bedtime.  I used it for a week or two and didn't see a difference, so I stopped taking it for another week.  I didn't feel different, so I started taking it again, and was able to notice more this second time.  What I found when I take this: I eat less at one time (meaning I get full quicker), I am hungrier more often (so I eat smaller meals more often), I wake up starving.  This was a paired set of dietary supplements with Slender Cleanse Advanced from the same company.  So to be honest I'm not sure which of these changes or symptoms that I just mentioned are because of the Garcinia Cambogia. I know that I didn't loose any weight, but I did feel better, things flowed smoother, and I ate less in one sitting than I normally would have which I see a a positive change.  Despite this nice change I honestly don't know if its working the way it should, if my body is taking to this or not (I have heard and read that this product, specifically, might and might not work with your body.  Meaning your body might not react positively to this).

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. So after writing down my own personal experience, it wasn't until I did further research online, that I found out that its actually recommended that this product is taken 30 minutes before a meal 2 times a day.  So I will continue to use this, and actually the way the doctor I found who did this research recommends by taking it 30 minutes before my heavier meals.  And after another few weeks I'll again come back and report what I have found.

Pros: helps with hunger, helps with portion control, helps with digestion flowing smoothly

Cons: didn't notice myself loosing weight, only got one month to test

My Rating: Thumbs up and down because I don't really know if its effective or not

CoQ10 Speed

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Details: CoQ10 QSpeed is a fast melt dietary supplement.  40 fast melt tablets per box, 100mg of CoQ10 per tablet.  Supports heart health, enhances cellular energy production, supports exercise performance, published clinical data via the company.  Delicious orange flavored tables that dissolve in your mouth in seconds.  100% natural, and caffeine free. Directions: as a dietary supplement, take 1-3 tablets daily.  If taking in conjunction with exercise, consume 1-3 tablets 20-40 minutes before initial exertion.  Place QSpeed tablets on the top of your tongue and allow it to dissolve while lightly pressing the tongue against the roof of your mouth.  The tablet will disintegrate.  You can purchase this on Amazon.


My Review:  A few years ago, I went to the doctor, and found out that my heart needs extra CoQ10 to keep it functioning properly.  So I regularly take CoQ10 on a daily basis.  I've tried different brands and types of CoQ10, and they have all been a big giant horse pill that I have to swallow.  Not an easy task to perform all the time.  So when I saw this company offers QSpeed, in dissolving tablets I had to try them.  I was a little worried that the product wouldn't taste very good, and so I'd go back to my horse pills (because I'd rather gag one of those down then let something nasty dissolve on my tongue.  I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED!!!  The orange taste is actually really good, it doesn't have any chalky texture or taste which is a huge plus, and I'm actually remembering on a daily basis to take my vitamins.  I am very impressed with QSpeed, I feel really good when I take it, there is no yucky after taste, or unpleasant churning of your stomach juices.  For people who need to take CoQ10 on a daily basis or need a quick boost before working out, this is the way to go.  Fast, easy, simple to remember, simple to take and seconds later your body had the CoQ10 that it needs.  I highly recommend this product.  I look forwards to seeing more products like this from this company.

Pros: tastes great, fast dissolving process, easy to take, easy to remember

Raspberry Keytone Blast

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Details: Omni Herbals Raspberry Keytone Blast dietary supplement.  60 capsules per bottle, one capsule per serving size, but can take up to 2 capsules a day.  Store in a cool dry place protected from light.  Raspberry Keytone Blast has been found to be an all natural boost for metabolism decrease, or sluggish metabolisms.  Omni Herbals has put the amount of 90 pounds of raspberries that you would need to eat daily to get the full benefit of the keytones in the raspberries, into 2 capsules worth of dietary supplements.  You can find Omni Herbals on amazon through the above link.  They are also on social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Disclaimer:  I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review:  I know how healthy fresh berries are for the body, and that their keytones are what really makes them so healthy.  Because they are active cancer cell fighters, metabolism boosters, and toxin releasers.  So when I got this bottle as a review, I was very curious how well this would work compared to fresh raspberries.  I have noticed that it works really well.  My normal super slow metabolism has been faster.  I am hungrier because my food is dygesting faster, I am having normal bowel movements now, instead of forced regular ones.  I don't get as sick when I eat foods that normally make me sick, which is really nice.  So for someone who has to use dietary supplements for normal digestion, regular bowel movements, and not feeling sick when I eat (pasta, red tomato sauce, some breads, potatoes ) having to take multiple pills or capsules versus one or two capsules a day.  I don't know about you, but I'll take just one or two capsules versus the 8 I normally take from 3 or 4 different other dietary supplements.  Omni Herbals Raspberry Keytone Blast works great!  I usually take 2 a day for it to work the best.

Pros: it works, purple in color, smells like raspberries

Cons: none

My Review:  There is no smell, no bad after taste, when taking these capsules.  I have tried this product for the past 2 months.  I have noticed that my food cravings, especially for sugar and chocolate are off the wall.  I've had the hardest time not eating sugar and chocolate while taking this dietary supplement.  So for I have noticed that instead of loosing weight I'm gaining weight.  I'm not very thrilled about this different result given that I've had really good success with other weight loss supplements from Omni Herbals.

Pros: no smell, no bad after taste,

Cons: didn't work, made my cravings worse

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review: I have personally tried many different types of weight loss tablets, pills, capsules, and this brand was a total surprise.   What I like about it in the very beginning is that it is made up of stuff I know, and stuff I can read and pronounce the name of.  (Always a key).   I like that there is no smell or after taste, or taste in general.  I like that its not a HUGE horse pill, but despite the size its still very easy to go down with water.  (Which is another key for me, as I can't take pills of any type without juice)  What happened is that I started taking these pills.  I would take one tablet before each meal, and usually I would only remember to take it 2 times a day.  But for the past 2 months I've been doing this.  I haven't change my eating habit, as while taking this I've had 3 birthday parties, Halloween, and access to lots of yummy sweets.  So without changing my diet, I lost 13 lbs.  I'm very proud of myself, for sticking with this, finding something that works when I don't change anything, because 3 weeks ago I was given the best ever workout DVD, so for the past 3 weeks I've been including with my weight loss tablets a 15 minute workout daily.  So I can imagine that the results will increase.

Pros: it works, its safe for people with high blood pressure, and for diabetics.

Cons: none
