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 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.
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!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great product. I don;t do the omegas cause of the fishy taste.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, it's definitely a little hard to find good Omegas without the after taste.
ReplyDeleteLove that these don't have it.
Sounds great! I hate supplements with a fishy aftertaste. So gross!
ReplyDeleteGood review, I am super picky with my Vitamins and hate an aftertaste!
ReplyDeleteI hate the fishy taste too, thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteNot having a fishy after taste is key.
ReplyDeletei hate the omega that taste fishy but happy to see there is an alternative
ReplyDeleteI would be WAY more apt to try without the fishy taste. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh how I hated the fish burps, but I finally found something that doesnt. I have read that krill oil is very good for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to do supplements. I have been making a point of including fish in my diet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that fishy taste is no good. Good review!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome product!
ReplyDeleteUgh, hate that after taste…thanks for the info!
