This probably sounds kinda gross...but do all fish oild supplement taste like fish if you belch? Or did I just not purchase a high quality product? Kinda nasty in the morning!:eek:

Most of the cheaper ones I bought did, but this one I bought at wal-mart by Spring Valley Fish Oil (1000mg) doesn't even smell like fish oil when I smell the bottle when it's open. I couldn't even get my nose near other bottles before that stench raped my nose.

I don't have fish burps with this one, though I didn't really have too much of a problem with the fish burps when I started drinking a lot of water and taking it with food. I haven't noticed a price difference either.

Just give it time, your body will get used to it, and make sure to take it with food and down a glass of water with it.

I'm not really sure "cheaper" is a deciding factor. I've had some of the more expensive that were bad for burps but the cheap fish oil from ON has never been a problem nor have the Super Omega 3-6-9's. :read:

Make sure you buy the enteric coated version. This keeps it from digesting in the stomach so it moves on into the intestines where it can be absorbed at a higher rate. It also cuts out the fish burps.

How many are you taking at once? Spread them out over the day in smaller quantities. That will help.
