Review of Pure Alaska Omega Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil?

I recommend it. Both my wife and I use it and have found it to be one of the best.

Get it girl, I am eating it and it is awesome! DHA:220mg and EPA 180mg. Personally, I highly recommend that you try it!

Hi Miya,

I visited the web site for Pure Alaska Omega Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil and it looks like a good product.

The manufacturer claims their fish oil is a cold-pressed, extra-virgin salmon oil that has no additives or fillers. I always believe that the more pure the product, the better for our bodies. While they offer links to testing for contaminants, such as heavy metals and PCB's, it appears the tests are done at certain times of the year and I couldn't find any test results for the fish oil product itself.

It's unfortunate their website doesn't list the ingredient amounts of the omega 3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in each soft gel; these are the important ingredients we all want from fish oils...the more the better.

Some studies on using fish oils on arthritis and joint pain indicate patients received benefits from using 40 mg of omega 3 fatty acids for every kilogram of body weight. For example, a 75 kg. man would take 3000 mg. of omega 3 a day. Other studies had patients taking up to 6 grams of fish oils per day for arthritis and joint pain.

Have you consulted with your Doctor about your creaking joints? I don't believe this is related to arthritis, but you may want to get medical advice on this symptom.

After 2 years of taking this supplement, you may want to alter your dosage or supplement choice. I prefer using liquid fish oils as I feel I get a higher amount of omega 3 fatty acids per tablespoon. Soft gels are convenient, but I think you need to take more soft gels to equal the same amount of omega 3's you could get in a tablespoon of liquid fish oil.

I regularly use virgin coconut oil on dry skin for moisturizing. I use emu oil for extra moisturizing on dry, rough, skin patches. Emu oil has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to improve moisture levels in the skin.

Have you tried incorporating a light exercise routine into your lifestyle using weights? I'm a big fan of bodybuilding and resistance training exercising for healthy joints and bones. The muscles are important for holding and pulling your joints in place. This explains why some people get joint pain as they get older; they don't work out their muscles leading to weak muscles trying to support their joints and bones. The joints start to press against one another which may lead to pain.

Good luck, Miya, and I hope this information is helpful. Please remember to consult with your Doctor before beginning any exercise/diet routine.
