Fish Burps

[FightingTheFight]

Just to give a fair warning.

I have been recently taking fish oil capsules, about three daily, and the weirdest thing happens. Anytime I burp, I start to taste fish. lol, like I just ate a big peice of salmon. The only thing that covers the taste is when a the cod liver oil comes back up lol

Are you taking them with food? I used to get those icky fishy burps too, but I'd just take them whenever, not necessarily with food. But now I take them, along with my other supplements, with a meal, two times a day and no more fishy burps! :babblefi:

The health benefiets are amazing, thats why I love them, but just the burps get on my nerves lol.

I take them 3 times daily after a meal.

I was reading alot about it, and heres something that stuck out at me.

Omega 3 fatty acids help control blood sugar levels which can aid in weight loss when used in conjunction with a weight loss program. People with diabetes may benefit from Omega 3 supplementation due to its ability to lower triglycerides and raise HDL. Some studies have shown that taking Omega 3 supplements reduce the pain and swelling associated with arthritis, and reduce the effects of osteoarthritis. This supplement also helps increase levels of calcium in the body and improve bone strength and bone density. People who experience bi-polar depression or schizophrenia have had noticeably improvement when using this supplement over a period of time.

But I am also worried about this that I just found out about taking both at the same time

A common way to benefit from both oils is to take cod liver oil during the winter, and fish oil during the summer in order to avoid an overdose of vitamin D because our bodies naturally produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.

any ideas?

I remember taking huge spoonfulls of cod liver oil as a kid. If my mom thought for one moment that we were playing sick she'd break out the bottle of evil. They have odorless garlic capsules...maybe there's an odorless fish oil caspsule company out there somewhere?

In all honesty, I am starting to like the taste :joy

Mom? j/k...Actually I got so used to it that it didn't bother me after awhile. I don't know if I'd start taking it again willingly though. Although if you all solve the fish burp problem I may have to look into it. The benefits really seem to be worth it.
