Enteric Fish Oil

[quickie]

I went and bought my usual fish oils tonight and they were even on sale, 400 for 9 dollars. :woohoo:

But, I saw enteric coated fish oils- something I had never seen before. It claimed to have a higher absorption rate than the soft gels and they were slightly more expensive. Any merit to this? :unsure:

I have no idea about absorption, but the coating reduces "fish burps".

Oh yes- it said that too. :p

My friend buy those kind of enteric coated fish oil. She seem to have noticed that she doesn't get those gross gag with the soft ones. I think the enteric coated caps are made with a different ingredient than gelatine ( if I'm not mistaken) and it's more thicker. So, it does take more time to digest them, when down in the stomach, they are a little bit too far to send some reflex gag up the throat.

But if you don't have those fish burp, I don't think it's worth to pay more.

Edit: MAN, I stuck with my grammar!!

I have the entarac coated ones. They are way better to swallow and they don't cause fish burps.

It's like they're covered with yogurt or something? :unsure:

Thanks. :)

I don't have problems with fish burps. I guess I'd get them if the absorption was better. :unsure:

Since I go through them like water, I tend to buy the cheaper ones :dry:

coromega is an excellent source for omega three without the fishy after effects.
