Getting My Omega-3’s Without the Fishy Aftertaste

I know all about the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids: they help your heart, your brain, your joints.  They usually come in capsules containing fish oil and have been shown to provide immense benefits to your health.  So why isn’t everyone taking them?  What could possibly be the downside?


Two words: fishy burps!


I was really good about researching my fish oil, buying my fish oil, and actually TAKING my fish oil…for the first few days.  Then I noticed a rather unpleasant side effect – a nasty fishy taste and smell that appeared each time I burped (which was happening much more often than usual).  I was not very happy and quickly found reasons to skip taking them that day – either I had a meeting or a lunch date or whatever. there are very few occasions where you think “Today would be a good day to be burping up yucky fish smells.”


I tried all kinds of different fish oils that promised not to have this effect on me or my breath. None of them worked.  Then I got an offer to try Everest Nutrition krill oil. I looked it up and began learning all about the benefits of it and how it may even be better than fish oil.


But, being the skeptic that I am, I insisted that I get a chance to actually try the Krill Oil before recommending it (you guys know that I only recommend products I have actually tried and liked!) and set off on a little experiment.


Well, sure enough, the claims were right this time.  Now, I can’t comment on my personal experience with the health benefits as I’ve only been trying it for about two weeks.  I can point you toward research on the benefits, so I hope that’s enough to convince you to look into taking Krill Oil.


But I can assure you that finally there is a product that delivers on its promise to not make your breath smell like low tide.  I experienced exactly zero fishy burps even after drinking a carbonated beverage.  Yay!!  This is important for several reasons – the obvious one being the extreme unpleasantness of the fishy burps.  The second is that I will actually take the product daily.  Fish oil may be great for you, but it doesn’t do any good if it is sitting in a cabinet in its container, which is what was happening to mine.


So now that you are aware of the benefits of the Omega Fatty Acids in Krill Oil and that there are no nasty side effects, will you consider giving Krill Oil a try??


I received a sample of the product and was compensated for my time and effort. All opinions expressed are my own and not influenced by anything other than my own experience.

  1. You are not the first person I’ve heard talk about fishy aftertaste with Omega’s. My parents take capsules daily to help control cholesterol and so did my sister before her pregnancy. I can’t wait to share this brand with them. Thanks!

  2. oh yeah, it’s definitely a little hard to find good Omegas without the after taste.

    Love that these don’t have it.

  3. I’ve never taken them because I despise seafood and to think I’d have to burp something I hate? Oh NO! I might trill the krill. Maybe.
