Product Reviews of Schiff MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil 300 mg - 90 Softgels
Product Review: Contains Sorbitol!
Summary: 1 Stars
For those who are effected by the sugar substitute, sorbitol, please notice that MegaRed contains enough to cause very unpleasant or harmful side effects!Product Review: DISTURBING SIDE EFFECT
Summary: 1 Stars
Shortly after taking 2 caps a day I began having a phantom olfactory sensation (smell) of a sweet, sea-weedy, unpleasant nature. I actually started gagging in bed last evening and put perfume on the end of my nose to distract myself! I couldn't find any external source and thought that it might actually be generated internally. It occurred to me that it could be the Mega Red so I broke open a capsule and sure enough, the thick, shockingly red oil smelled exactly like my phantom odor. I can't begin to imagine what my insides look like, let alone smell like--other body by-products also smell like krill oil. Regular Omega-3 fish oils have not had this effect (those that are marketed as having no fishy aftertaste). I found this nasty sensation very disturbing.Product Review: Disappointed with ingredients...
Summary: 1 Stars
I was delighted when I received the Costco flyer showing that they now offered the krill MegaRed. I'd been buying for some time, on an automatic shipment basis, Nordic Krill from Amazon. The price seemed excellent at $20.77 per month for 60 capsules (I take two a day). The MegaReds were listed as 90 capsules for about the same amount of money. However, when I looked at the ingredients and saw sorbitol listed, that was the end of MegaRed.
Even if the amount of sorbitol in each capsule is minute, I still reject ingesting sorbitol in any form. So, I guess it's back to Nordic Krill capsules from Amazon. Or perhaps the wild salmon I eat every day is actually sufficient and I don't really need to take a supplement.
Product Review: Doctor's Orders
Summary: 5 Stars
My doctor wants me to take these in place of fish oil by prescription or even OTC fish oil, since she says they are better at bringing cholesterol and especially triglycerides down to normal levels. Shipping was free, and the product arrived in just a few days. Also, it doesn't hurt that these two bottles are only [...] compared to the 65.00 I was paying the mail order pharmacy! A good buy!Product Review: Good Job MegaReds :)
Summary: 5 Stars
This has proven to be a great product for me. I've been sensitive to most Omega-3 products that I've tried. But this one seems to work for me.
