Morning :)

I didn't check the label for the Enteric coating (never heard of it before) but it had on the bottle emphasized pretty well that it was supposed to control fish burps, which was the deal closer for me.

I am still learing about a lot of these things but what I read was pretty impressive. I need all of the help I can get right now, not to bore you, just standard issues (I try to keep the majority of my whining to my diary, hehe).

I will say that they are some scary looking pills...if I didn't know, I would swear that they were suppositories for sure. Of course if they were that would really eliminate the fish burp problem :D

Obviously you have been intimate with suppositories in your life on more than one occasion ;)

I think some of the benefits of the fish oils aren't necessarily ones you will see or feel (although the joints on me feel more gooder), but rather better cholesterol levels and heart improvement (maybe better at cardio too, not sure if that's a result of more intensive cardio or the pills or both).

There you go feeding me lines again that I could bat out of the park...

I don't need to feel the benefits, just knowing that I am doing something to better myself is enough for me. I will take improved joints though, if it happens, there are some days getting out of bed is harder than others...

I was too scared to take them this morning, so I will take them tonight with dinner (which probably breaks some vitamin cardinal rule but we'll see...
 
Ok...took the first fish oil pill last night and it would appear that the claim made by Nature Made is true...no fish burps :)

yay!
 
Did you only take one pill?

What size pills are they?

What amount of EPA and DHA are in each pill?

Be sure to check the serving size.... sometimes they'll sneak the 2 pills into one serving size.
 
You know, I didn't check...I went online and here is what it says:

Omega 3 (DHA) Docosahexaenoic Acid 288mg
Omega 3 (EPA) Eicosapentaenoic Acid 432mg

That is for two pills. Damn....guess I have to take another one tonight :D
 
Mind you... I am taking 10 per day at the moment. Each pill is only 1 gram of fat. You can get 20 times that in a burger.
 
That's true - I wasn't worried about the fat necessarily...those buggers are not cheap ~ but hey, you can't take it with you, right?

If it is better to take two or more, then I will...
 
I'd suggest at least three. Most of the research I've seen uses 6-10 grams in the study parameters using pills that contain 180mg of EPA and 120mg of DHA.
 
Boy getting healthy is an expensive habit :D
