Well there is not a lot you can really say about a fish oil supplement so I am going to keep this review short and sweet. We all know that there is a grocery list of benefits to taking a fish oil supplement daily and is one of the few supplements that I would actually list as a necessity to good health. That being said lets get into this one.

First off I really like that Orange Oximega has a high concentration of EPA and DHA. This means that less fish oil is needed to hit your target amount of these EFA's daily and therefore you will be ingesting less fat and cholesterol. It is also important to consider that a lot of bargain brand fish oils are sourced from fish that have a much higher mercury content.(because it is cheaper to produce) This can be from both the type of fish used in processing and also the origin of the fish. So when you consider that you are ingesting several grams of fish oil on a daily basis it becomes more of a concern to have a well sourced fish oil such as this. CL also includes a small dose of Vitamin E to help fortify the fish oil.

What I don't like about this product is two things. One being the cost of the product. It is not too bad considering they are more concentrated and contaminate free, but $15 for a 40 day supply(120 per bottle and I take three a day) seems a little steep to me. The other downside is the fish burps. They claim to be enteric coated and citrus flavored but believe me they give fish burps worse than most other fish oils I have tried. Not that it is an issue but I don't appreciate someone saying citrus flavored when it makes your burps taste like straight chum.

I have run through probably six bottles of Orange Oximega and I don't think that I will ever go back to a bargain fish oil since the idea is to be healthier and not slowly kill yourself with mercury poisoning. I would recommend this product to anyone with a little spare cash who wants a quality EFA product.

It's hard to judge an Omega-3 complex. You don't really see immidiate results. One good thing is that I didn't get fishy stomach burbs or urine like I have with cheaper products. Also there is all the 3s a guy could ask for in one serving so 'in this economy' its cheaper than purchasing salmon from your local grocer...get your learn on wit' omega-3s!...grind on!

Fishy farts.

Well that was the most noticable effect I had after starting this.

A fishy burp now and then but not like the old days when you would yak up all your lunch because of it. So the enteric citrus coating seems to work.

This is another supplement that is difficult to qualify with a metric. Let me say that I wont run out of this stuff-I like the overall healthy skin, joints, hair.

General health ans joint support-this is an awesome product and I will continue to take daily.

With the benefits of Fish Oil being pretty well documented, this is one of those essential supplements in your stack (for most people).

This was my first Controlled Labs product and it turned me on to them in a big way. They and ON make some of the best products, as far as I'm concerned.

While there are pros and cons to taking a Fish Oil supplement in softgel form (some argue that the manufacturing process of softgels burn or destroy a lot of that essential fatty acid) this is one of the better brands of Fish Oil you can buy.

Their (independent) lab tests verify very low levels of harmful heavy metals and PCBs in this Fish Oil and Controlled Labs does what a lot of others won't and actually lists the all-important amounts of EPA and DHA in a serving (2 softgels) of this supp so you can decide how much to take-- it's not a shot in the dark like with cheaper brands.

With that said, there are cheaper alternative brands with bigger bottles and better ratios of EPA/DHA out there-- I've picked up NOWs Ultra Omega-3 Fish Oil as my next Fish Oil supplement, although I've read that liquid Fish Oil is probably the most beneficial for you. If only it wasn't so much trouble!

I took these on a bulk and cut. going on my 3rd bottle of this stuff and love it. I let my mom try one and she said there the only Fish Oil that didnt make her have a fishy after taste.

Best value if you buy on BB.com when there buy 1 get 1 free

I'll be candid: Yes, there are cheaper Fish Oil alternatives. However, CL's Fish Oil formulation is superior for one reason: dosage. The FDA recommends-for healthy males in my age group (19-30 years of age)-1.6 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids which includes EPA's and DHA's. Other, cheaper Fish Oils, fail to disclose how much of each of those acids is in any one serving. Fish Oil alone is not beneficial if it lacks these essentials acids. CL's oil candidly discloses the amount per serving. For that, I am convinced that this is the best Fish Oil for the price.

In times past, I pretty much though of Fish Oil as a boring essential, something that was necessary, but not something I would do that much work around researching and differentiating one product from another. Fish Oil is not one of those supplements that we get all excited about that we must tell everyone we know about, but it is essential whether your a lifter, an athlete, or just an ordinary person who wants to stay healthy.
This was my first go around with Controlled Labs Orange Oxi Mega and was attracted me to the product was the very high levels of EPA (800mg/serving) and DHA (400/serving). This is double to triple what most ordinary Fish Oils offer.
There was also the claim of no bad tasting fish burps as the product claims to add citrus flavor to eliminate the disgusting Fish Oil burps. As far as the Burps go, there were some, but I can't say there was any of the usual disgusting burps that usually accompany a Fish Oil supplement.

Value: 7/10
On the value front, you definately have to look twice at this product. In the past, I've usually bought the cheaper Fish Oils so the price tag made me think twice. Although not as expensive as many supps we take, this is at least twice as expensive as a normal Fish Oil supp coming in at .15/gram or .30/serving as the serving size is 2g. Most Fish Oil supps land somewhere between .04 and .10/serving so this is definately the priciest that I know of. I didn't downgrade it too far on price as this products servings have a far higher concentration of EPA and DHA than any other Fish Oil that I've looked at, so the value part is a little difficult to judge.

Uses and Effectiveness: 9/10
There are books written on the subject of Omega 3 fatty acids which Fish Oil provides because they have so many good health benefits. Among the main ones are improved heart health, prevention of certain cancers, improved joint and bone health, improved skin, and improved serotonin levels which help your mental health. Study after study has shown the healthy effect of Fish Oil and eating fish as the people that do so tend to live longer and healthier lives.
As far as this product specifically, Fish Oil is kinda like a vitamin in that you know what your taking is good for you, but you rarely see or feel the product working for you. As far as what I've noticed, I have noticed that my mood has improved, not leaps and bounds, but I find I'm just a little bit happier during periods when I take Fish Oil and in particular this one than when I'm not. I've also been told my skin and face look a little younger, but I can't say for sure on that one.
As far as dosage, I take 2 caps twice/day which equals 4g/day.
Overall, I am happy with this supplement, its hard to say with a Fish Oil supp how well its working, but knowing the higher levels of EPA and DHA this provides along with an improved mood is enough to keep me coming back for this one.
