Most fish oils cause stomach issues such as constant burping. I take with food etc. can you give me some brands that worked for you and the best way to take so they digest well? Prefer small pills
thanks
thanks
This is bad adviceFor what it's worth just buy the ones from local supermarket however I found when taken after toast I don't get so much reflux compared to when taken with porridge.
Well I guess I must just be very very lucky then as by using my local supermarket brand at 3000 g a day It helped reduce my Total Cholesterol from 5.2 to 4.3 with my Hdl at 1.97 but hey am sure like everything else theres pro's and cons with different brands. Good luck OP with with your search.This is bad advice
Not all fishoil are created equal . I would suggest reading the label and focusing on proper EPA and DHA content as 2-3g daily have shown great benefits to heart health and joint health
Most supermarket brands are very low dosed just like if you went to Walmart to buy pre workouts , protein etc you may not get the best bang for your buck when it comes to quality
Martin has a great article here

CL oximega are the ones I would suggest
Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Muscle Growth: Promising Potential - Leangains
Can omega-3 fatty acids boost muscle growth? Well, let’s just say that I’m very excited to report about the results from two new studies that sought to answer that question. The results? I will tell you all about in this article. I don’t have time to keep up with the going-on’s in the forums...leangains.com
I got bottles of ON (200 Caps) for $6 and Oximega for $8 (600mg EPA/DHA Capsule which is 2x your supermarket brand)Ok further investigation shows ON Fish Oil to have a total EPA/DHA of 300mg per 1000g capsule. Other ingredients are: Gelatin, glycerin, ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, vanillin, purified stearic acid, ammonium hydroxide, medium chain triglycerides, oleic acid, purified water.
My so called inferior cheap supermarket version by Vitarenew? has total EPA/DHA of 260mg per 1000g capsule.
Other ingredients are: Oil, Gelatin, Glycerol, Mixed Tocopherols ( Antioxidants).
So for a loss of 40mg I'm paying double figures less and with what looks a better ingredient profile.
Supermarket here I come.

Ha ha......I like ON products especially the Orange Triad but my poor supermarket fish oil buddies are doing the trick this far for a bargin price. Each to the their own in say.Supermarket bad, ON good.
That's odd as the ON Fish Oil I looked at is 600mg PER SERVING (2 Capsules). Do they do 2 different Fish Oils? Maybe they do which I gather is even MORE expensive.I got bottles of ON (200 Caps) for $6 and Oximega for $8 (600mg EPA/DHA Capsule which is 2x your supermarket brand)
To each their own on what ya wanna grab. Just stating you can get some respectable brands and products for a good price and EPA/DHA Per cap is the most important factor in a fishoil. Many supermarket brands are very low causing someone to take 10-15 pills to reach an adequate amount.
Orange Triad is made by Controlled Labs, not ON..Ha ha......I like ON products especially the Orange Triad but my poor supermarket fish oil buddies are doing the trick this far for a bargin price. Each to the their own in say.
Good find on this - not too bad. I use Bronson Triple Strength which has a very similar profile and I take 3 servings a day. It isn't the cheapest, but for the volume it is reasonable and high EPA/DHA. Every once in a while, I will randomly bite a cap and see if it is rancid and I have never had any taste at all really from these. These things spend so much time on a shelf and in a truck before they get to me, I'm sure it's a waste, but I do keep them in my fridge once I open them.The best is Sports Research triple strength omega 3 fish oil. Great profile. Only need two a day maybe one.
4 oximega caps is not bad at all. (2 Caps/Serving)Good find on this - not too bad. I use Bronson Triple Strength which has a very similar profile and I take 3 servings a day.

Oximega and ON are known to be good quality. Given the deals you can get on Oximega I would consider it, but you still need to take more pills/day than with the Bronson. But for all I know, Bronson's quality sucks and/or they don't meet their label claims. I just haven't seen any reason to believe that and unfortunately I can't test their label claims.
No, not bad at all, I can't say there is anything wrong with it. But I tend to mega dose things, and the Bronson at 6 caps a day gives me 1,464 mg of DHA and 3,750 mg of EPA. To get that with Oximega, I would have to take about 8-9 capsules of the Oximega. Really, it isn't that much difference. 2 pills 3X per day vs. 3 pills 3x per day, etc. It's a good product.4 oximega caps is not bad at all. (2 Caps/Serving)
Believe it or not, Vitacost has an orange flavored liquid fish oil that, when added to vanilla protein powder, is really good - it tastes like the orange/vanilla 50/50 ice cream bars.Big fan of the liquids as you get much more bang for the buck and full dosages vs numerous pills. Nordic Naturals is tough to beat in that department. Also just eat some sardines or herring.
