I didn't check to see if this has already been said, but Barleans makes the best I know of.

I finally bought some fish oil too. It's enteric coated, which is good, but I burp up fish taste, which is bad. I should also mention that it's the Spring Valley brand from WalMart, which probably explains a lot.

I believe I'm going to try a different brand.

Cynic
- you have no burpy problems with that one from Walgreens right? I think I'm going to try that one. If it bothers me too, then I might move on to more expensive stuff. I figure you research the heck out of everything, so if you recommend it, then I trust it.

Fish is an excellent source of fish, tastier than pills too.

you don't say.

Fish is just so inconvenient. When cooking for a family, and dealing with two small children all day, something like fish is hard to work in - it's not like meatloaf that makes enough for 2 nights of supper plus a lunch or two for my husband, you know? plus, it's more expensive than ground turkey, chicken, etc. - you wouldn't think it would be considering I live in a coastal area.

I had the same one and never had this problem. Maybe it depends on the person.

The problem with taking fish oil is that real fish has so much more than just omega acids to offer. So many things that simply can't be put in a bottle it's ridiculous. That's the problem with relying too heavily on any sort of supplement; the supplement should be a supplement, not a replacement.

In the end:

fish, oranges, milk... > fish oil, vitamin C, calcium...

Something like this?

It says it has 0.05 g omega-3 DHA and EPA per 1 cup serving.

oops my math sucks, 0.05 grams... so you would have to drink way to much each day to rely in this for omega 3...

That's just it. The hard part is balancing between what we know we should be eating, and the reality of what our daily lives allow for. Yes, I should be going to a farmer's market and paying twice as much for organic produce, and I should be buying fresh fish and grilling it twice a week, and so on.

I would really enjoy that. In reality though, dressing, packing, loading and unloading my children alone turns a 10 min trip to the store into a 1 hour one. Dealing with two small kids basically takes normal activities and at least doubles the amount of time it takes to complete them - from shopping, to cleaning, to cooking. For non-parents, well, I can't speak for them.
