I've used both fish oil supplements and algae based supplements. The latter left a very unpleasant fishy (well, algaeal, I guess) taste in my mouth every time I burped, even when taking them with food. The fish oil supplements (paradoxically) did not have that effect.
- hugi 5y agoAs an Icelander raised on Lýsi (cod liver oil) I remember fishy burps all day long as a kid. I still take Lýsi every day but the burps are gone, it's probably a couple of decades now since they perfected purification of the oil to make it mostly taste/smell free. My kids still get lýsi every day to no complaints (and it's a part of the daily routine in Icelandic kindergartens).
- adrian_b 5y agoYes, I have also started recently to eat daily some cod liver oil and I have been surprised that it has only a very faint and pleasant fishy flavor. The fish oil that was available when I was a child had a much stronger and less pleasant smell.
- gls2ro 5y agoWhen is the best time to give the code liver oil to a kid? (Or maybe it does not matter) but I read multiple suggestions: in the morning after breakfast or at least 1-2 hours _before_ a meal or at least 1-2 hours _after_ a meal. Can you please share when do you give this? ( I am assuming that you have a better tradition/understanding of this)
