What are fish burps caused by fish oil and omega -3?

Answer 1

Omega 3-6-9 pills and fish oil cause "fishy" or sea-food tasting burps. That is because the essential fatty acids making up these common dietary supplements are made of just that, fish. It is the same as eating anything else and burping up something odourous later. Garlic anyone?

The base of a fish oil capsule is a fat called triglyceride that is a bad fat that our body cannot use so your body rejects it and has a hard time using the omega 3 that your body needs. So you get fishy burps and limited absorption from fish oil. I take a Krill oil that has a phospholipid base every cell in the human body has phospholipids so it is easily absorbed (48 times more) and no fish burps ever.
