Fishy Burps Banished

[Back In Black]

I suppose this should really go in th eSupplement Section but as we are/should be taking fish oil as part of our diet thought I'd stick it here instead.

I've neglected my intake of fish oils over the years because of the disgusting burning fishy burps that I always got. But, I've just taken delivery of some Omega 3 Fish Oil with Lemon Oil.

2 servings later and absolutely no hint of a fishy burp yet!

interesting cuz thats why hate taking them. i even tried switching to a more expensive brand and it didn't make a squat. too bad i just bought some new ones or i would have tried these. any other secrets to taking these?

Thanks bro, gonna try this - HATE the fishy burps, even hours later!

I take Barleans and I have never gotten any fishy burps at all. They have some kind of citrus flavor to them but I wouldn't say it is a lemon flavor. I keep mine in the frig, so maybe that helps?

Somebody posted up a link a while back where an independent lab tested all the major brands of fish oil and rated them based on several different categories. The tests were done on products that were bought straight off the shelves, so its not like the fish oil companies got to hand pick which batch of their product was tested. I'll see if I can find the link when I get on my comp.

Tip on picking your Fish Oil supps
Many companies seem to claim a pure product but appear to judge themselves on a relative scale making it hard for consumers to make informed choices.

Risks in buying fish oils from shitty supp companies-

Rancid oils- this happens more then you think.

Underdosed

PCBs

So how do you pick a supplement low in contaminants but high in long chain omega-3?

The University of Guelph in Canada has started the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program with the aim to test batches of omega-3 for quality and purity

"Finest Natural" and I think I got at Walgreens.....

same here... I get mine from walmart. take in the morning before bfast, and then bury it with a bunch of food. very seldom do i get the fishy burps... maybe twice a month

Store the bottle in the fridge , and this will get rid of the after taste, and the fishy burps.

I've been taking odourless fish oils but alas when I arrive at work and they've begun to break down, you can taste the remnants of that fishy flavour. Not too pleasant for the lass that sits opposite me. Maybe I should chase the caps with lemon juice from the squirty bottle.
