Skin & Eye | Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil with Astaxanthin | Lutein | Pro-Resolving Mediators | Vitamins A&D | Gluten-Free | 60 Softgels

I can't honestly say what effect this will have but the ingredients are promising and can't hurt anything so I'm going to give it a try. Any benefit will take quite some time to appreciate.

These supplements are ENORMOUS, yet somehow they're easy for me to swallow. They also don't have a fishy taste at all (yuck) nor do you have any aftertaste later on when they're digesting. That right there is a huge plus for me. I've been taking two of them daily for 3 days now, and have had zero effects that sometimes pop up with supplements -- no upset tummy, no constipation/diarrhea, no allergies, absolutely nothing. I'm very happy about that. The price of these supplements is also enormous, at close to $40 for a one-month supply when I ordered them. It's way beyond my budget to get these every month in addition to the vitamins and few other supplements I already take. If you don't mind the expense, I would recommend them for their health benefits and for the quality without issues as I described above. Keep an eye out for discounts or coupons if you're interested in buying these but squeamish about the cost. If our budget could fit them in (or if insurance covered it! lol), these would be a great daily addition to my jumbo pill box. Until then, I'll finish out the rest of this month and report back here if any issues crop up with them.

Big Bold Health Skin and Eye Health contains a naturally occurring spectrum of Omega-3 fatty acids, all of which are considered important to achieving healthy skin and eyes. The product contains bioactive pro-resolving mediators, thought to regulate inflammatory processes, modulate infection, and assist with the repair of injured tissue at the cellular level. The Alaskan salmon oil in the soft gels is wild-caught and flash -frozen to preserve its quality and integrity. Also present is Lutein, a carotenoid that occurs naturally in nature in green leafy vegetables and avocados and is thought to be important for eye and skin health. Additionally, the supplement provides us with Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant also found in nature and sourced from algae. Astaxanthin helps with contributing to cellular integrity and normal signaling to help to make the walls of the skin cells more resistant to oxidative stress. My ophthalmologist approves of my supplementing my diet with healthful ingredients like the ones provided by Big Bold Health, so I do recommend the same to others as long as everyone first consults with their healthcare provider just to be sure. The serving size is two soft gels taken once per day preferably with food. They are easy to swallow.

The ingredients seem good enough, and I am a firm believer in taking fish oil as a supplement. However, the quantity is 2 capsules a day, so this is about a 30 day supply, for around $35 at the time I am typing this. That's very expensive, and there are some better options out there. Also, this doesn't say non-gmo, and it isn't 3rd party lab tested. It's also a fairly low dose, for the price. SO, while I think the product is decent, and I can also say that I suffered no ill effects...and they didn't taste bad, like some fish oil capsules do...I still can't give them a 5 star rating, for the reasons mentioned above. I don't think I could justify buying them at that price, when there are so many other less expensive options out there.

This product is an easy way to get Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Omega 3, Lutein, and Astaxanthin. I wasn't sure what Astaxanthin was and had to look it up, but apparently it's an antioxidant found in some red algae and causes the pink coloring in salmon. These capsules are double sealed and a little larger, but not "horse pill" size. They do not smell or taste of fish (pretty tasteless). Additional Positive aspects of this product: Wild, line caught and flash frozen salmon Lutein, found in colorful vegetables for eye health Contains PRMs, which are though to support immune system GF, non GMO Made in the USA, but some “ingredients may come from trusted sources outside of the US” (Salmon from Alaska, red algae from Hawaii, others are not stated).
