Question Question about fish oils

The doctor told one of my friends to take fish oil to help her cholestrol (i think to make the good type higher)

Is there anyway to get fish oils without taking those pills? Apparently they are really nasty...lol

Thank you!
Hugs
Julie

I think you'd need to actually eat the fish. 3 servings of fatty fish a week would be a good place to start (not fatty like deep fried, but rather fatty like salmon).

Would flax seed oil have the same effect as the fish oil?

Partly. It does have the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) but lacks the other good fats in fish like salmon and tuna.

Freeze the pills and eat them with food and they won't be bad.

If you take the oil it is nasty yes. However you can get capsules no problem which are fine as you don't taste anything.

I'm taking flaxseed oil AND fish oil capsules. I take both with food, but the fish oil SUCKS! Throughout the day whenever I burp I get this horrible taste in my mouth like I had a huge helping of tuna for breakfast, even though I always take the pills with food! I hadn't heard of freezing them though, I'm going to have to try that.

I have been taking fish oil for awhile now. I take mine at night right before I go to sleep. And before when I was taking them during the day I would freeze them. Much better.
