I was taking 2 a day until I found that my triglycerides were high and the DR. advised me to take 4 a day.I understand fish oil is the only help.

I take Flax oil, which is a good source of omega-3 and doesn't give me "the burps." Sorry if that's TMI, but fish oil just did not agree with me at all.

Fish oil omega3 will also help control dry eye, skin and hair. 2000 mg a day per my dr.roz

I take 3000 mg per day..it is better if you take it with a meal, and the benefits are it greatly increases your good cholesterol

try it the CVS brand is usually on sale BOGO and doesnt give a nnasty aftertaste///

Our doctor perscribed fish oil. My husband takes the 3,6,9 Omega vitamens lowers triglycerides and Cholesterol. If you have problem with triglycerides the best is cinnamon. My husband's had very high triglycerides and for the first time was just a few points above 200. We get ours from Pruitan but have got from GNC or Vitamin World. Good Health to you

I'd check with my dr or pharmacist about allergies from fish oil before I started taking it. My dh takes fish oil and flax oil capsules. Imho the straight flax oil has a nasty taste, I guess I wouldn't recommend it but it might not be offensive to everyone.

after taking the fish oil. i would burp the fish taste. So my Doctor told me I could take flaxseed oil in place of.

I have heard Natures way is good.

After my DH had 3 stents put in, we both started taking fish oil. Other than the size of the pills, I don't have a problem with it. Hubby had to find something different as he got terrible heartburn from it. He found another product at Sams that he can take. (I think it is "Cholest-off", or somthing similar to that.) We use a lot of flax as well...I add it to things like...our oatmeal, salads, stews, bread, (homemade)...pretty much anywhere I can. You do need to use ground flax to get the benefit.

That sounds like a fun way to take your pills.
I've heard if fish oil makes you burp to keep them in the freezer. I rarely have that problem. I take what ever brand. A friend gave me two large bottles, don't know the brand name. I'm not usually brand loyal, only on a couple of items.
