Do you find that your skin is better when you take them?

Do they taste as terrible as I've heard? i.e. fish burpies... :oops:

Not unless you're chewing the caps or something. There's only been a few times where I've gotten fish burps and it's really not that bad.

I find that if I take my fish oil caps on an empty stomach I get fish burps...gross! I dislike the taste of fish a lot but as long as I take them after my first meal I am fine.

Yeah it helps with my hair, nails,skin and also it helps out with my energy. If you want a really good fish oil we sell it at www.drplatt.com along with other awesome supplements (all pharmaceutical grade). You dont have to be a patient of Doctor Platt you can just get supps off line. :)

If you take the entarac coated fish oils, you don't get fishy burps.

I've been taking flax seed oil and find my skin texture has really improved.

I keep mine in the fridge, i dont get the fishy burps. If it comes room temp, i get burps.

Thunder says women are better off taking fish oils. http://z13.invisionfree.com/ExtremePhysiqu...p?showtopic=786 (http://z13.invisionfree.com/ExtremePhysique/index.php?showtopic=786)


Actually it's that fish oil is better for women (than flax), particularly as they age because the converson of ALA, from something like flax, to the fish oils fats, EPA/DHA, is enzyme dependent (delta-6 desaturase I think).

One, the enzyme conversion isn't great to begin with and two, it becomes even less efficient with age.
