Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You mean I would take it along with the fish oil? It's okay - I'll take capsules. I take the D3 from the Biotics line.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You could have a point here. Oil - ANY oil - bothers me! But I take digestive enzymes. Maybe I should just take the Fish oil with an enzyme and that would help. > > > > > > > > Hi all - I've been on the search for a fish oil supplement > that I > > can > > > > actually digest without getting sick.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've had great success with both myself and my clients in digesting the oil by taking about a Tbsp. of unsweetened applesauce either right before or right after swallowing the fish oil caps.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I take a fish oil capsule that is enteric coated from the Kripps Pharmacy. They are in Canada but ship everywhere. Their PhD pharmacist swears that many people do not absorb the liquid oil because stomach acids destroy it and so the enteric coating. I buy them in huge bags, 270 of them are $49 Canadian. He sells them in 900, for around $150 Canadian. Their pharmacist is obsessed with quality and price. This pharmacy is unique because they are the only one that is certified by the Canadian gov to manufacture their own products. There are huge hurtles to doing that here a lot of inspections and audits. Fishol E.C. 1000: pharmacologically distilled, tested and guaranteed to be free of mercury and heavy-metals, supplies 380 mg of EPA, DPA, and DHA. The capsule hermetically seals the contents from degradation by air oxidation. It contains oils from North Atlantic wild salmon, the best natural source for the essential omega-3 acid family of eicosapentaenoiic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Additionally, each capsule has a special enteric coating (E.C.) that protects the contents from digestive stomach juices. This ensures that a high proportion of the valuable essential fatty acids survive intact to reach the intestines where assimilation into the body occurs, and it ensures there is no disagreeable aftertaste. http://www.krippspharmacy.com/ I take three or more of these per day. Them and their natural source mixed vitamin E is all that I have needed to combat hot flashes. The fish oil is tested to be free of impurities. The staff at the store and the owners family all take it in quantities larger than I do. They provide 480 mg EPA, 240 DHA. Normal fish oil supplements make me quite sick to my stomach. Most supplements do the same. Karima Hi all - I've been on the search for a fish oil supplement that I can actually digest without getting sick. My doctor gave me Orthomega but those made me sick to my stomach. I even tried a children's liquid formula - forget it. He wants me to use either the Nordic brand or the Pharmax Finest Fish Oil. Has anyone had any experience with these? Also, is the Carlson's cod liver oil just as good to take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yes, the enteric coated do allow you to take the oil without causing digestive distress. There are several brands that have enteric coated fish oil caps, Metagenics is one, but there are many others. > > I take a fish oil capsule that is enteric coated from the Kripps Pharmacy. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
