Omega3 capsules

[chalup]

I was just wondering if anyone taking omega3 capsules has a problem with everything tasting slightly fishy? It is especially bad if I burp. I hate fish lol.

I take krill oil.

Had one jar of capsules that stank to high heaven. I think that one of the capsules had leaked. It was stomach turning. Returned them and got another jar.

But I don't get a fishy aftertaste normally - although I do always take them with food. No idea if that makes a difference, but I tend to take all my supplements with food (or drink a coffeewithcream after, to kind of weight them down. lol)

I used to take garlic capsules years ago. Now THAT was an experience!

I have the exact same experience, @chalup. I haven't found a single fish oil capsule I can take without the same experience.

In the past I've taken krill oil without too much issue, but have heard varying reports about how effective it is.

I think my next attempt might be algae oil.

In the meantime, my genetic report tells me I don't have a problem converting what I need from diet so I'm not as concerned about it as I once was. I eat chia seeds every day and also periodically take flax seed oil and/or EPO.

I've found that LIDL sells some that haven't an oily taste. http://www.matt.it/en/products/omega+3+fish+oil_15681.aspx

Cod liver oil from the bottle (with a lemon taste) avoids this problem. No fishy burps.

Alternatively take the supplement before food, I generally take my CLO just before my evening meal.

Thanks all I appreciate it. I was just like why does my broccoli taste like fish? lol. I think I will try taking it just before I eat. I was just taking them with my meds. Did I mention I hate fish? :***:

It's odd, sometimes I can taste it and other times I don't (I take liquid CLO).

Funny - My earlier post had disappeared! Just an aside - Cod liver oil help prevent retinopathy in diabetics.

Your post didn't disappear, you mentioned the above in another thread:

I live in Northern Ireland, my doctor prescribed Omacor 4 x 1000mg per day, omega 3, for my high cholesterol (I also have diabetes). I never had an after tastes. I've been told by a dietitian not to take cod liver oil as it could be detrimental to my high cholesterol. Omega 3 has had a positive affect.

It's a easy mistake to make when there's a couple of threads running about fish oils, your not a bore btw

Omega 3 has had a positive affect.

Welcome @Tay1105 , that's great news that the Omega 3 has helped improve your results.
