a good fish oil pill?

in Pregnant after 35

I showed the genetic counselor what I've been taking and she said the fish oil pills I'm taking have herbals in them and that wasn't a good idea. They are GNC brand. I didn't take one today but would like to resume taking one a day with my prenatals. Can you suggest a good fish oil pill with DHA that doesnt have herbal stuff in it?

TIA

    I take a prescription chewable prenatal with DHA that's not made from fish.

    Select OB + DHA

    I'm not sure how far along you are, but from what I read you really don't need the DHA component until you're third trimester.

    I use these specifically because I need a good easy chewable due to my gastric bypass.

    Costco carries an excellent brand - Alaska Wild Organic Salmon fish oil pills.  Since they are wild caught fish, they are sustainable and better for the environment, they are organic and I'm just assuming that they don't have herbals in them.

    My natropath told me that you should not have any effects from fish oil pills (i.e. the dreaded fish burp) unless the quality is a bit off.

    I was taking the new chapter organics however I got horrible fishy burbs and I do not like fish at all.  It might just be a side effect for me I seem to be more gassy then I was.

    I agree with the member who listed Costco. I use theirs and have had very little issue with them (despite the occasional fish burp....but I found if you freeze them and THEN take them....no problem with that at ALL)! GL!

    I get mine from Walmart -- plant based, though, so no fishy anything. The ones I get are 'prenatal' specific (says so on the label) and come in a bottle of 30 for $7. I can't remember the brand, but it's the only one my Walmart carries in a bottle vs. blister-pack.

    I love Nordic Naturals. My whole family takes them and thinks they are great and a good quality. Here is where you can get them https://backpainandpregnancy.blogspot.com/2011/10/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html
