<p>I’ve been taking fish oil supplements from omegabrite.com for over a year. I take the medical-grade capsules from omegebrite.com. They are purified and contain what is supposed to be the right ratio of fatty acids, and are supposed to be the same formulation that has been used in the published studies.<br>
I started taking these (3 per day) for general health purposes. Unexpectedly, a shoulder problem of 10 months standing melted away after about 6 weeks. I’d had chronic pain and reduced range of motion. I couldn’t raise my arm above shoulder level. The pain is completely gone, and the range of motion is now normal, and I have very good range of motion in all my joints from years of ballet.</p>
<p>No burping, no taste.</p>
<p>I’d like to hear more about probiotics. What are they?</p>
<p>I have been taking medication for GERD morning and night for a few months now and after starting to take fish oil noticed that my symptoms came back in a big way…so, no fish oil. :-(</p>
<p>The doctor didn’t really care what caused my dry eyes. He said it’s much more common in women. He probably said it wasn’t from LASIK because the onset was over 2 years after LASIK. I still think it’s autoimmune. Could also be estrogen related (I’m of an age…) He prescribed steroid drops…that is supposed to jump start the healing, which it has. After a couple of weeks he’ll switch me to other drops.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking Nordic Naturals Omega-3 purified fish oil. And sometimes Omega 3-6-9. Along with some other things which I started taking to try to alleviate peri-menopausal symptoms. I am definitely feeling better than I was a few months ago. And a couple of nice surprises – I had a lot of pain in my hip and it is pretty much gone. And my skin is in better shape. And I feel less stressed. I think the fish oil is beneficial, and am going to continue taking it. Along with my other supplements.</p>
<p>A few years ago (quite a few, actually) I tried some fish oil, but it was a different brand and it gave me headaches. It also gave my son headaches at the time. The Nordic Naturals does not give me headaches, happy to say. I don’t notice any fishy burps or odors either.</p>
<p>Couldn’t find Fisol once so bought a krill supplement at Whole Foods. Now I’m burping up ambergris (sorry, couldn’t resist). Actually the krill capsules were very stinky but burp-free, fortunately.</p>
<p>A really good way to check the quality of the vitamin brand you buy is to visit consumerlab.com. It’s an independent testing laboratory that pulls random bottles of different brands from store shelves and tests and reports whether the contents match the ingredient claims in quality and dosage. Amazing how some brands contain, for instance, only a fraction of the claimed amount of a vitamin. Well worth a look.</p>
<p>About fish oil for kids - I bought the kids’ version of omegabrite.com for my sons. It’s a liquid instead of a capsule, with some sort of fruity flavoring. Both of my sons tried it and said that it was the worst thing they’d ever tasted. Not wanting it to go to waste, I decided to take it myself to use up the bottle. I tried it, and it was so disgusting that I couldn’t imagine that anyone actually uses it. Worse, I dropped the bottle on the kitchen floor and it shattered. It splashed on the pants I was wearing, and did not come out in the wash. I had to throw them away. I had a very hard time cleaning it up and getting rid of the smell.</p>
<p>Be warned. But the adult version (capsules) is great.</p>

<p>Google Super Fisol, there are no less than 10 websites, including Amazon, that sell it online. Fisol is enteric coated…no smell, no taste, easy to swallow, and NO FISH BURPS. Plus, it is dissolved in your intestinal tract and not your stomach.</p>
<p>I’ve been using a brand called YourLife for years and have never had any “burps” (didn’t even know that was a possible side effect until I read this thread!).</p>
<p>Of course I usually take my vitamins (I take lots) at night because the iron makes me a little queasy sometimes & if I’m sleeping I don’t notice it. (Can you burp in your sleep?? :))</p>
