Can somebody give me some information on Omega 3? I bought some at the health food store the other day and started taking it but it kind of made me nauseas. It recommends taking 3 a day but I only had 2 and I kept having that taste in my mouth all day. This brand was Twin Lab, is their a better brand that doesn't give you that awful taste? Is it better to take liquid?

Hi, i usually take ''NOW'' brand however only cause they are inexpensive.I take 20 soft gels a day.(20 gms)Are you taking them with food, that might hide the after taste.I've taken them for yrs so i dont even notice the taste.I prefer Fish oil over Flax, however they are both fine. cheers! harry!

I take mine after dinner, and I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I keep the capsules refrigerated (although I know some others freeze theirs). I've never had any aftertaste at all. I buy Natures Made brand. I also take flaxseed oil.
I'd stick with the capsule over the liquid, if you don't want to taste it.

hellasrules that's such a cool idea and i guess it would work with any nasty capsule.
thanks for the tip

When I was taking the gel type pills of Omega, (which I should be taking and need to get some more of)the lady at the health foods place said to take them on an empty stomach and wait a half hour to eat, this way it goes into the intestines to be digested and doesn't leave you with that aftertaste burping. It worked for me! Just thought I'd pass on the information to you. Hope that helps, Diana
