Fish Oil

Hey guys!

I wanted to start taking fish oil supplements, and was wondering what the best brand is. I have heard that you often burp up the fishy taste, and really want to avoid that.

Thanks so much!

I take fish oil everyday to hopefully avoid the serious heart / cardiovascular health problems my father had.  I'm not sure if the actual brand makes much of a difference, but you can purchase the coated supplements that advertise "no fish burps/aftertaste".  They cost a little bit more, but it is totally worth it as I hate fish. 

The coating helps the supplement remain intact through your stomach to your intestines where it breaks down and the nutrients are absorbed.  Since it is not breaking down in your stomach you are avoiding the fish aftertaste.

I don't know what brans the US has, but look for wild salmon oil and not farmed.

I have tried 2 different brands and i liked both. One was GNC's new line of beWell products -- their fish oil caps are coated and taste kind of vanilla-y and i never had any funky burps or aftertaste.

They were kind of expensive, but i like them. If you have a trader joe's near you, i suggest getting theirs, which is the kind i use now. they have 2 kinds, one says "odorless" -- get those. A bottle of 90 cost me less than $10.

Buy mine at Whole Foods, their brand, and never had a problem.

Awesome, thanks for all your guys help:D
