I began taking this product on February 1/11 and find it to be an excellent product. I use omega's to help combat anxiety/panic and would be very stressed out without them. For a long while I used another type of combination of oils that included fish oils which worked well, yet, I wanted to try a non-fish based product so I tried flax seed oil only but, found I needed more support and this 'NOW' Omega 3'6'9 combination seems to be filling that void. They are easy to swallow and can be chewed when/if necessary. Be sure to check with your doctor and pharmacist to be sure this product doesn't conflict with any medications/treatments you are taking.

This stuff is amazing. The capsules are smaller than some other omega 3-6-9's I've taken which is great if you have trouble swallowing huge tablets! The best thing about this one though is the great combo of essential oils. I usually have horrible PMS cramps, and after taking this as instructed my cramps are barely there! Plus it's a Canadian, all natural product.
