Fish Oil

vflipo · January 2010

WHY IN THE WORLD are these things SO huge!? Geez... Do you think they could get any bigger?? I feel like an old lady with all these supplements I take every day... I should get a little pill box or something...

I have never taken them, but we do give them to our dog for his coat. I cut off the tip and drizzle it on his food. Could you maybe do the same thing like on a cracker or something like that?

You could get drinkable fish oil :-) They are worth it. Especially if you eat the standard AMerican diet of lots of Omega 6s and few Omega 3s.

We do the same thing!

I think I'd rather just complain about a giant pill than complain about drinking it straight... Yuck

Thanks for the tips though ladies! I didn't know there was a drinkable kind. Maybe I'll consider it

I feel the SAME way! I almost bought a pill box yesterday - had it in my hand, but somehow it made me feel 80 years old, so I put it back on the shelf. And you are right - those pills are HUGE!

Yuck. I don't like fish so I gag both from the size and the taste. I've reverted to prenatals with a small amount of DHA.

there are some prenatals that have dha plus vitamin in a single huge pill if that would make it any better! the drinkable kind is really gross IMO though, so I'd still with the pill form. i actually take duet which is has a separate pill, but it is pretty small (about half the size of the vitamin) may so if you really get sick of it, you might try a different brand. for me the worst part is the fish burps!

I thought this only happened to me! Big Smile

There are some kinds out there that say "no fish burps"

I've never had that happen to me but maybe you could try those

I love Nordic Naturals DHA in strawberry flavor. They make the going down much easier!

GEEZ! I guess I should have shopped around better when I bought mine. Now I have this GIANT bottle of these GIANT pills and I wanna look for new ones!! Haha guess I'll have to wait until I finish these 8000 pills (really it's only 220)

dude, totally get the pill box! i have the 7 day one, and each day has like 5 pills in it...

ive been able to work my way up to being able to take 5 pills in one swallow, and for some reason i pride myself in this

as for the fish oil, i do take dha - i'm a vegetarian so the thought of it totally grosses me out, but i dont seem to get fish burps from them.
