Help with Omega-3 Vitamins


Recommended Posts

I have been researching Omega-3 Fatty Oils and have determined that to help balance my moods and my well-being, I need to take them.

 

But, here is my problem. I have recently started taking them, and am having a nasty side effect. I am burping all day and it doesn't taste nice. In fact, all day it has made me nauseous. I want to feel better and have more energy, but not if this is the side effect.

 

Can anyone help me? Is there an alternative? A better way?

 

 

Thanks!

Nauseous and Needing Help,

I hate fish burps :ack2: When I first started taking CLO, I used an inexpensive brand, and it was awful! I think it was low quality.

 

I have been taking Spectrum cod liver oil, 2 capsules every morning for a few months now and I haven't had any problems. I also take 2 to 4 capsules of flax oil (Spectrum). It is a decent product and still reasonably priced. They also produce flavored oils.

My doctor's nurse suggested keeping the pils in the refigerator and taking them right before you eat. This has solved all problems that I had.

 

Good point. If the oil is rancid it could definitely cause digestive problems. For this reason also you need to make sure you buy a product that has been gently processed (i.e cold-pressed) and kept at a fairly controlled temperature so it is not rancid when you buy it.

I had the same burping side effect with some vitamins and omega-3's that I had purchased at Wal-Mart. I've switched to RxOmega-3 Factors by Natural Factors, and I don't have the burping problem at all anymore. I'm able to buy this brand at a local Vitamin Shoppe. Once I factored in shipping, there really wasn't much of a price difference since there's no sales tax on vitamins.
