Wehle Sports Omega 3 Fischöl Tryglyceride Fish Oil Softgel 500mg EPA 250mg
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
2:1 ratio of EPA:DHA, very good dosing (1.5 mg of Omega 3 with just 2 capsules/d), good price.
Cons
I have been using this brand for quite some time now, but the softgels in EVERY bottle/package do have a strong fishy taste.

And from what I learned in the meantime is that this is a sign of oxidation. And this obviously is the last thing I want to do when I take fish oil - increasing the oxidative stress on my blood vessels!

So, I have decided to throw away my current bottle and switched to another reputable (albeit more expensive) brand that does have NO fishy aftertaste and gives me a better feeling.
Goal
Improving the ratio of Omega 3s vs Omega 6s, especially since I cannot stay away from some foods high in Omega 6s naturally (like Peanut (Butter) 🫣)

Vegan Protein 3K Intense Vanilla
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
Amazing Vanilla taste, no sandy feeling (rare to find for vegan protein powders!) and no metallic taste from the Stevia.
Cons
On the more expensive side (especially considering it is not organic)
Goal
Taken occasionally for some extra protein, especially after intense workouts.

Faixat
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
Online booking tool on their website worked well, Ferran Faixat (the owner) is a really nice guy who knows what he is doing. Overall good experience.
Cons
- Booking tool on their website is available only in Spanish (can be overcome with Google translator).

- Parts of the report are also in Spanish (but manageable to translate as most graphs are self-explanatory).
Goal
Wanted to know my body composition beyond visible physic (visceral fat mass?) and also my bone mineral density to assess risk for osteoporotic fractures.

Whey-Isolat Pulver aus Weidemilch
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
Very clean formulation, from Grass-fed cows.
Cons
Slight metallic taste from the stevia unfortunately. :-(

I "dilute" it with a neutral protein powder and add some more cacao to it to cover that unwelcomed aftertaste.
Goal
Taken occasionally for some extra protein, especially after intense workouts.

Long-Term Health
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
Very nice customer experience with the app and the booking tool, plus very nice staff (in Munich).
Cons
- Biggest Con: Most lab values are provided in a rather unusual unit that even most doctors are not familiar with, so you have to recalculate standard units one by one - very time-consuming and unnecessary I feel

- At the current point, there is too little room for flexibility of the panel one wants to measure AND too few biomarker are available, critical ones for long-term health assessment/prevention are missing (eg, Lp(a), ApoE gene status, Omega 3/6 ratio)
Goal
Assessing some lab values without having to justify myself in front of my primary care physician (who 100% thinks I am crazy with all these things I am assessing for prevention purposes :-D)

FreeStyle Libre 3
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
+ The concept of tracking glucose values in (almost) real-time is groundbreaking and potentially super insightful in one's individual physiology.
+ The sensor is super small, and completely painless to apply most times (except for care cases where you hit a blood vessel).
+ Even the free Libre App has a decent customer experience IMHO
Cons
- Big No-Go is the fact that values are not very trustworthy and can deviate up to 20 mg/dl from true values (measured in parallel with standard capillary glucometer) - one day 20 mg/dl lower the next 20 mg/dl higher.
And in general, values tend to go up towards the end, with mean values easily 10-15 points higher than in the beginning.
- So, maybe reliable for trends and spikes, but not for exact values
Goal
- Tracking blood glucose over time with as preventive diagnostic tool - Tracking individual blood glucose response to various foods

Das Multi – Premium-Multivitamin-Kapseln
Customer · 1 month ago
Pros
The best multi-vitamin/mineral I could find on the market!

Clean formulation, good balance of dosing of individual components (esp. no excessive B Vitamins which is hard to find), no combination of ingredients that use same transporters and could hinder each other's uptake.

And: comes in 2 separate versions with and without iodine for those with thyroid issues! :-)
Cons
CAVE: no magnesium included, which is preferred for me, but shouldn't be overlooked if this is your only supplement.
Goal
To cover my bases for most vitamins and trace minerals (complemented by whole-food diet)
