Omaga 3 Fish Oil Help?

Question

I have heard fish oil is good for you and want to take it for several different reasons. I have one problem. When I take them I burp and belch up fish taste all day, it is so sick tasting. Is there a kind that wont make you do this? Any ideas would be helpful.

Answer 1

Make sure you aren't allergic to any kinds of fish, or any ingredients in the gelcap.  I take fish oil gelcaps all the time, and never have any kind of problem.

If you are allergic to fish or shellfish, there may be other ways to get omega-3s.  Flaxseed maybe?

Answer 2

Yes!!! I too had the same problem. You can find a brand called Coromega it comes in little packets and is kinda like a pudding. I love the orange flavored. Even my kids love it. My 3 year old is always asking for more. It runs about 40.00 for a months supply. But if it is something you really want to take it is worth every penny. No burping up a gross fish taste ever.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, they all make you burp the fishy stuff. Carlson's makes a children's chewable (which can be swallowed) that has a strawberry flavor, therefore bringing the taste of fish down a little. Fish oil is so beneficial, it's really worth it.

Answer 4

You want to know what is a better way to get the well desired Omega 3's? Hemp seed oil. It also has the right levels of fatty acids that you need. Hempusa.org explains it well, and you can order it from this site also.

Answer 5

MANY of the do that. What you want is one that is in it's most purest form. Search online for it. Go to a health food store. They are great for you.

Answer 6

I have people ask me this all the time at work. Try taking them with your largest meal, preferably a carb. Also drink alot of water

Answer 7

Look on the store shelf, nature made and other manufactures have a different fish oil on the market. It is a little more expensive but it will not cause the fishy taste as regular fish oil can will do.

Answer 8

Ugh yeah-- "seal burps" are so gross!

I use a brand called Carlson (Carlson Super Omega-3 Fish Oils) and don't get that horrible fishy burp-up. It digests properly, unlike so many of the other brands I've used.

I get mine from vitacost.com but I've seen it at various shops like Walgreens.

Answer 9

You can get odourless fish oil for a higher price.  The word ODOURLESS is actually written on the container.  One brand is Nature's Own ODOURLESS fish oil capsules.

Flax seeds and flax oil as well as walnuts and soy products contain ALA which has no brain benefits.  Fish oil contains DHA and that has brain benefits.  ALA does have heart benefits (but no brain benefits) but both DHA and EPA in fish oil also have heart benefits and DHA has brain benefits as well.
