Are You Taking Oil Pills?

[Martha]

I am taking fish oil and flaxseed oil pills.

 

Is anyone else supplementing their eating with oil pills?

Hey Martha,

I actually take liquid fish oil twice a day. The omega 3's are supposed to be very good for you. I take other supplements under the direction of a homeopathic doctor, and she say that the fish oil really assists in mobilizing all of the nutrients around your body (does that make sense?)

[Martha]

Yes, makes sense! I just picked the fish oil pills because I take so many pills in the morning, I figured it was just easiest to pop another.

 

 

Does the liquid fish oil have an odor? How do you take it? Just chug it or drnk with water?

[A10CalGal]

THe fish oil I use is infused with orange oil, so its actually not that bad. I just take a swig out of the bottle (about 1 Tablespoon) and chase it with a glass of water.

 

It does have a bit of an odor, because if I try to use the same glass of water later, I can totally smell it on the rim.

I am such a weenie, I probably couldn't do it. I hope I still get the same benefits with the pills.

I also take fish oil and flaxseed oil pills daily. It is suppose to be great for your hair, skin, nails, etc....

 

I also use ground flaxseed, it is full of fiber and fills you up. It has a nutty taste, so its not bad.

My trainer just recommended that I start taking both of these pills regularly. But she says to take the fish oil at night b/c it can have funky 'burping' side effects. hhmmm...

I have heard this too, I always take mine at night

I take fish oil pills at night with dinner. You can find some "non-smelly" ones at Trader Joe's

I sprinkle ground flax on stuff when I can - usually my oatmeal/yogurt in the morning.
