Fish Oil that isn't "fishy"?

I recently saw a commercial for a fish oil/omega supplement that wasn't supposed to have the "fishy" side effects.  Now I can't remember what it is.  If you take a fish oil or fish oil like supplement, what do you take?

  • I've never had "fish burps" or "fishy-ness" with any fish oil. I usually take mine with a meal though, so that could be it. I've read that freezing the capsules can minimize fishy-ness and fish burps.

     

    I take Nordic Natural's Prenatal DHA, it's the one recommended by the American Pregnancy Association. I also take Vita-Cost krill oil.

  • Believe it or not, but I found Fish Oil gummies at Target and they don't taste "fishy" or have the "fishy side effects" as well. And, they taste great too!
