>> i'm 57 years old, and i've tried a lot of products. i've been in the fitness industry for over 36 years. before taking omega xl, i would have a really hard time with my elbows, and i thought that was just because of age. but after taking omega xl, it started to reduce the swelling, and now i feel no pain at all. my recovery period and my stamina has increased tenfold. >> i wish that they had omega xl 30 years ago when i first got arthritis. i've been now playing golf, and i noticed great effects from being able to do that, and i'm able to exercise after 25 years of not being able to exercise. >> what i had to do was go out and buy every known bottle opener, jar opener. never, never got this particular lingonberry jam open. and today... here you are. >> announcer: all these stories are from people that have experienced the benefits of omega xl. 25 years of clinical studies
3:03 am
far better benefits than ordinary fish oils. this is due to omega xl's source, the green-lipped mussel. this mussel is farmed in the purest waters in the world, the marlborough sound in new zealand. once harvested, it goes through a patented super-critical co2-extraction process. this unique process allows omega xl to have 22 times the fatty-acid availability and makes it more powerful than regular fish oils. therefore, omega xl is more effective at reducing inflammation, the cause of pain. you don't need to suffer anymore. omega xl will help you get rid of pain and live the life you deserve. >> and, you know, doctor, i'm involved with cardiac health, having had the problems myself. i have my foundation. how can omega xl help reduce the risk of heart attacks? >> 30 years of studies that have shown the benefits of omega-3s for reducing plaque formation on the arteries, which actually
3:04 am
heart attacks and strokes. it actually helps to reduce triglyceride levels, which are an independent-risk factor, which put people at risk for heart disease. so i recommend omega xl to all of my patients to help protect their hearts, preserve their heart and vascular health. >> ken, omega xl seems to be a life-changing product. >> omega xl is a one-of-a-kind omega-3. there's nothing like it. we believe it's the most powerful omega-3 on the face of the planet, which offers tremendous anti-inflammatory benefits. you have hundreds of people, hundreds of family and, we call them employees, but associates at great healthworks today so proud that you're here to help us with our message. >> oh, i'm very proud to be part of it, 'cause it is -- it's wonderful being associated with this and wonderful having you and wonderful meeting you. there's the number. >> announcer: hundreds of thousands of people around the
3:05 am
today because of the difference omega xl has made in their lives. this natural anti-inflammatory comes from the green-lipped mussel, grown in the new zealand, the c leanest waters in the world. due to its unique extraction process, omega xl gives us something called free fatty acids, which our body can utilize instantly, whereas regular fish oil comes in the triglyceride form that is bound and our body cannot utilize it readily. this is the reason why fish-oil pills have to be so big. omega xl is a small, safe, easy-to-swallow gel capsule that can go directly into your system and will effectively reduce your inflammation. >> the key to the way that we process things is we manage the temperature, we manage the storage chain, we know the chemistry we're looking for, and we make really sure that we're getting the right chemistry to the consumer. i can't say that any of the people who are selling seafood mussels are gonna be concerned about the same thing. you may cook it in a way or deal with it in a way that simply
3:06 am
so not only are you taking a dozen mussels, you may be getting no benefit. so the certain way of getting the benefit is to take a capsule, and that's so convenient. it's a tiny, little capsule, it's dead easy to take, and you can be sure about what the outcome will be. so there's no doubt at all, in my mind, that taking omega-3 every day is a very good way of ensuring that, for well people, that they stay well, and for people who aren't well, that they get better. there's so much evidence that that's the case. and if you're gonna do that, why not take the best? omega xl is the best. >> announcer: omega xl is a one-of-a-kind, powerful omega-3 oil that helps to reduce inflammation associated with joint pain, arthritis, bronchial tightness, and more. omega xl is the ultimate natural solution in great health and well-being. >> omega xl not only helped my hand, it helped my whole body. i can walk around. i can move around. my hand -- i can make fists. i can stretch my fingers.
3:07 am
without extreme pain. it all has come together because of omega xl. >> well, i had two compressed disks. i went to see a very renowned back specialist here in miami and was told there was really nothing i could do for it -- not even surgery. but i started taking the omega xl, and in about 72 hours, i started noticing a significant difference in my back, and the swelling was a lot less. it was really an answer to prayer. i didn't know what i was gonna do. i have children down to a very young age, and i want to be active with them as long as i can. it's allowed me to keep up with them and experience good things. and that's thanks to omega xl. no doubt about it. >> announcer: if you're living in pain, listen up. every day, people suffer from symptoms including back, neck, knee, and joint pain. studies have proven that inflammation is the culprit, but
3:08 am
omega xl. as part of the show, we are extending a special offer. call and we'll double your order. don't miss the opportunity to regain control of your life. there's no financial risk. omega xl offers a 90-day money-back guarantee. you have nothing to lose. time's running out. call now. >> we want to tell you about the larry king cardiac foundation. i started it 25 years ago, and shawn is our chair. our mission? to save hearts. why? because cardiovascular disease is the number-one killer of american men. >> it's also the number-one cause of death in american women, costing us 400,000 moms, sisters, and daughters each year. >> it's the cause of 1 in 4 deaths for men, but regardless of your gender, certain lifestyle behaviors impact your chance of developing heart disease in the first place. now, there's nothing you can do about family history or age, but you can take control and drastically minimize risks by
3:09 am

3:46 am
no risk. or do you acknowledge there is still a risk? >> every time a tourist, immigrant or refugee shows up in another country there is a security risk. and i am more than comfortable that doing what we have done, accepting in 25,000 syrian refugees, does right by both the safety of canadians, and -- and by the values that define us as a nation. >> would you be just as comfortable if there was a terrorist attack carried out by some one that came through as a refugee? >> ultimately. being open and respectful towards each other is much more powerful as a way to diffuse hatred and anger than -- than, you know layering on, you know, big walls and oppressive policies. >> reporter: his commitment to openness is reminiscent to his father pierre, regarded as one of the founders of modern canada. >> canada must be progressive. and canada must be a justifier. >> reporter: he enshrined into

3:48 am
but it defined him in canada as pierre trudeau's son. and he struggled to break free of that legacy. >> you still face the people who say this guy didn't earn it. you know, he's trading on his father's glorious past? >> i'm proud to be his son. i don't mind that people remember that. i think that is a good thing. but one of the things that comes with that is -- having lived all f my life with people who would criticize me without knowing me. because, they didn't know my father. or people who loved me, without knowing me, because they loved my father. >> both are false? >> both are false. >> reporter: in 2012, four years into his political career he chose an unusual way to prove he was more than the spoiled son of canadian royalty. >> justin trudeau! he turned an annual charity boxing match into a political opportunity. challenging patrick braso, a senator from the opposition, who

canadians took one look at the two of them and said true bow had lost his mind. >> getting more punches than i thought he would. >> the first round went as expected. >> oh, my gosh. this is going to be a one-round fight, brian. >> but he and his trainer, ali nester prepared for this battle. he would take a beating in the ring. tire his opponent. and outlast him. i think i was like this. >> looking through the fingers. yeah, it was -- it was not easy. >> reporter: trudeau's wife sophie was in the crowd. >> reporter: you're thinking why is he doing this again? i dent like seeing this. but he had told me so many times. i got this. it's not going to be easy. i go out. i can do it. >> reporter: did you know the strategy going in?
