NOW L-Glutamine 500mg

Cardiovascular and cognitive support. Standard fish oils are often mostly filler fat. This version provides 750mg of actual EPA and DHA in a single softgel. It's a solid choice for heart health, though you'll need two capsules to hit clinical targets for mood or heavy inflammation.

8.0/10
EXCELLENT

Despite the misleading slug, this is actually a fish oil product. EPA at 500mg (50% optimal) and DHA at 250mg (50% optimal) provide solid omega-3 coverage. Combined 750mg EPA+DHA exceeds the minimum for cardiovascular benefit. Enteric coating reduces fishy burps. Good but not exceptional dosing.
