Fish oil supplements

[Sal03]

To get the benefits of DHA, we want to start taking fish oil supplements. We bought a bottle of salmon oil softgels and I made DH take them first to see if they would cause a fishy tasting occurance after taking them. Sure enough he just called to say that it is not terrible, but they are repeating on him. Anyone know if there is a way to get the benefits of fish oil without actually tasting anything related to fish? Oh, I don't like eating fish that is why I wanted to take the supplements

I buy the Omega-3 Oderless supplements at Trader Joe's. It definitely has less of a fish taste than other supplements.

I recommend Nordic Naturals brand. I take their Omega-3 supplement. Their products have a nice lemon flavor and zero burp-back. HTH. :)

A few things....

1. Take them at night, right before bed.
2. Freeze them; supposedly this will keep them from being digested until they're further along in your digestive tract and you won't get the aftertaste.
3. Take another oil: borage, flaxseed, or DHA by itself (still might be fish).

I do 1 and 3, and have no aftertaste. Good luck!

I take it by the tablespoon full. Carlson is the brand I use, which I get either at Whole Foods or the vitamin store I frequent.

(like the fish oil margarita?)

Sometimes I take it straight off the spoon and wash it down with something cool (it tastes like a sweet lemon, so it isn't bad) or I add it in to smoothies and then I don't taste it at all. I don't burp it up so no problems there.

Once again, DH is shaking in head in wonder at all the info we are able to get so easily off of CC. thanks so much!!

I told myself that I would take better care of myself this year and well, we always here so much about the importance of fish oil. Any new info or brands out there to share? I like the idea of freezing them if that makes a difference-easy change, assuming I'd remember to take them

I actually stayed with the Carlson brand but switched to Cod Liver Oil because of the vitamin D factor. I don't get a whole lot of daylight here in the NW, especially during the winter and I need the D as well. I take 4-5 tablets a day.
