They are subject to high rates of oxidation, but a lot of people take them.
I am currently going supplement free (except whey) for awhile, since I've had a few issues pop up around the same time I switched multivitamins and fish oil brands. I'm trying to eliminate the cause currently and the timing was about right for them to be a potential cause. You can get your Omega 3's from eating fatty fish or certain seeds, I think flax and pumpkin seeds have them. You can also get your daily value from 1/4 cup of walnuts, basically a handful. The walnuts are a good choice because they won't give you fish burps. Nothing worse than running or lifting and burping up the taste of fish. |

Look into Charles Poloquin and everything he says on fish oil.
Basically the modern diet has a jacked up ratio of omega 6's to omega 3's. Getting that ratio to where it should be is the goal. Taking one a day probably isn't going to slide the ratio to where we want it. Poloquin has advocated taking in excess of 30 grams of fish oil a day for those who need it. But ideally we'd get there just through proper nutrition. Basically any animal that eats corn has too much omega 6. That's the real reason you want grass fed or free range, so the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is optimal vs corn finished/fed. If you agree with him and the numbers then go from there. |

Fish oil is the oily thing keeping my cholesterol from going over 1300.
It works, get labs done. I take prescription version. |

Avoiding high Omega 6 sources like industrial seed oils, nuts with high polyunsaturated fat content (limits you to pretty much macadamia and coconut), and eating as much pastured/grass fed meats/dairy/eggs as you can will help with the 3:6 ratio. |

I am considering picking up a bottle and taking it once a day. Anyone else? I'm taking one capsule a day. Don't know if it's doing me any good. Only taking it because I got a jar of the stuff free. |

The OmegaEssentials from Popeyes has orange flavouring, so when you burp you taste oranges. |

@H46Driver is right
Fix your diet to only use saturated fats, and monounsaturated fats. That means any of the animal fats and derivatives (lard, tallow, ghee, butter, etc.) and coconut oil, and olive oil. Use the saturated fats for cooking, and use the monounsaturated fats cold as dressing, etc. Opt for grass fed over grain fed, wild caught fish over farm raised, free range (actual free range, like where the chickens move around) over penned. Eat more avocados, nuts/seeds (almonds, macadamia, flax or chia seeds), fish (fatty ones, like salmon), eggs, and beef. Avoid any the hydrogenated PUFA (polyunsaturated fats) like vegetable oil, canola oil, etc... Add fish or krill oil in on top of this to further tilt the Omega-6 to Omega-3 balance favorably. |

Add avocado oil to your list of good fats. Costco has reasonable prices. Yeah but it tastes absolutely disgusting

I swig it from the bottle or put it on popcorn sometimes. It has a mild flavor and a buttery mouth feel. I tried using it as salad dressing and I just couldn't stomach it. I'm not a picky eater either. MCT oil is another good supplement, you can use it in place of coconut oil in things like protein shakes or whatever. |
