is this better than Astaxanthin Bulk Powder? I got a lot of it for cheap price as fish foods, but not sure if it is as good as gel caps.

What you likely have there is a synthetic form of astaxanthin which is made from petrochemicals and commonly given to farm-raised fish. Wild salmon eat natural astaxanthin, but farm-raised salmon are fed the synthetic astaxanthin to turn their flesh red-orange so that they will look like salmon caught in the wild. This is why many people refuse to eat farm-raised salmon, but will only eat salmon caught in the wild. Though having the same exact chemical formula, the synthetic astaxanthin molecule has a different shape, and no one knows how well it interacts with the other molecules in the body. All the studies showing how astaxanthin benefits the body have been done with natural astaxanthin, and I believe the synthetic form has not been formally granted GRAS status (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. Prelimiary studies indicate that the synthetic form does not perform nearly as well. Since there is a huge demand for natural astaxanthin and a tight supply, companies from places like China are attempting to flood the market with synthetic astaxanthin. Always be sure that the label says "natural astaxanthin" not merely "astaxanthin" on the label. And don't accept any other wording, such as "nature-identical," or you'll be getting the synthetic kind. It should also be astaxanthin derived from a microalgae identified as Haematococcus pluvialis. There is a reason that the BioAstin brand has about 50% of the retail astaxanthin market. Its astaxanthin is growth naturally on the Big Island in Hawaii, from that Haematococcus pluvialis strain of microalgae.

My question too. I see fish OIL,vit E OIL...et cetera in gel capsules, so what is holding THEM together without dissolving? I need to take aloe vera and want to encapsulate it myself to save money. I already have the capsule machine and the gel caps, which work just fine for ground, dried herbs...but for aloe vera? And what is to stop it from becoming rancid once I do all that work? Cannot store it in a fridge, going camping soon and need to know.

I bought the gel inadvertently, thinking I was ordering the capsules. It is otherwise unflavored and very fishy. I had difficulty getting it down, vs. no difficulty with the capsules. I did not notice any superior effects of the gel vs. the capsules; if anything the capsules gave more and quicker benefits. Both helped chronic skin conditions. Both had positive effects on sexual health. I'm getting ready to reorder and will be getting the capsules again this time. Hope that helps.

this one needs to be refrigerated after opening where the powder form you can just mix into water whenever.Personally this one tastes way better than the powder form, i ended up mixing all sorts of water flavoring with the powder one to choke it down....(i might have been adding too much powder and too little water not sure) I believe you get approx the same amount from both but I am not certain. From my personal experience with Isagenix cleanse products.... the liquid is the way to go!

I would compare the labels it looks to me the green bottle contains 250mg as opposed to 350 in the Ayush Herbs in the Proprietary Blend of (Rose Powder‚ Boerhaavia diffusa‚ Coral Powder)‚. The green bottle gives you 30 caps and Auysh Herbs gives you 60 the cost would be less expensive in the long run!

Sorry it took so long to answer. My last bottle smelled fishy but I also noticed the gelatin tablet was thinner and maybe dissolves quicker in the stomach. I open the bottle and let it air out a minute before taking the tablets and it works fine.

I will post an answer to my own question in case helps someone--I bought both the 100+30 pills of "Super Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate" and the 300 pill bottle of the "Super Omega-3 GEMS Fish Oil Concentrate" and they are EXACTLY the SAME thing. In fact the smaller bottles I received also have the word "GEMS" on the label now too, unlike the bottle pictured. It appears the addition of the word Gems is just the newer label. What is also interesting is that the price per pill was a little better with the 2 smaller bottles, at least on the day I purchased.! Worth doing the math--bigger package is not always the better price!

I think that this fish sauce is more consistant from batch to batch. I can use the same amount every time in any recipe & get the same flavor. I also prefer the smooth flavor for use at the table as a condement.

No, gel caps are more dense and take much longer to dissolve and you can't beat these capsules for the price.

I would use the DuPont gel Advion instead. They tend to go for this bait more but since I already had the maxforce I used it in combination. Worth a shot. Some ants like the carbs some like the proteins

Each softgel is 1,200mg in size, so they are about average for fish softgels. Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega, for instance is 1,000mg per softgel. Omegavia is 1,300mg per softgel. That's about as big as they go. I wish they made these in 500 or even 600mg size. Their size now is ok, but I would like a smaller one, too. However, that would be more expensive and mean taking twice as many softgels. :)

I have been taking Omega-3 Fish Oil for about 6 years. The last 4 years I have stuck with Carlson's Super Omega-3. Initially, I could sense the fishy odor, especially with other brands. I have gotten use to the Carlson's Fish Oil and do not smell anything when swallowing. As an OTC nutritional supplement, Carlson seems to be a good buy. I only need 2 gel-caps per day to get my daily DHA and EPA requirement. Other OTC brands may need 3 or 4 capsules per day, and you may get more fishy burping.

We use OPI for school, and it's great!!!!!!!!! ... LED is faster but UV can be used for both Gel and Axxium... whats 30 secs?! I rather have a UV light and cure it for 30 more secs than to pay for a LED light and a UV light, because LED won't cure Axxium, which is like the acrylic of gel!!

This is not in form of capsules. This is liquid and you have it by table spoon so no Gelatin :)I USE IT FOR 2 YEARS AND I LOVE THE QULITY. THE TAST IS GOOD AND NOT FISHY.

It's called a Vcap...it is powder inside, so the cap does flex and you can separate the two sides of the cap...but it is technically not a softgel like you would find if you take Vit E. This is like a caplet you would find with a probiotic. It is not thick like a softgel.
