Fish oils!!

Not entirely sure this belongs in Aibu but I’ll try and get away with it by asking ….aibu to expect to be able to buy omega 3 supplements that don’t stink?

I’ve read that rancid smelling fish oils have oxidised and are actually not good for you at all. When I do use omega 3 supplements, my joints (knees) are much less sore so I do believe they do some good. But most brands do stink, and give me fishy burps!!

Anyone found a brand that they think are worth paying more for? If it’s true that fish oils are actually quite toxic once they smell, I don’t want to carry on buying the stinky ones even if they do (seem) to help my old knees!!

Krill oil capsules used to be advertised as avoiding the fishy burps. Maybe they still are, ive not noticed!

You could keep the oils in the fridge? Or use algal oils that don't stink.

Equazen Eye Q are good, I've used them for years.

I buy mine in Aldi.

I'm not sure whether they are better or worse than the expensive ones, but they don't seem to smell. Or at least I've never noticed (and my son takes them too and I've not noticed him stinking).

Surely fish oil smells of fish oil? I've never had a fish oil capsule that doesn't smell of fish oil. I have to be careful my cat isn't around when I take mine as she tries to swipe them! For me it's worth the health benefits. Not sure it's true that if you can smell them they're rancid. It's not as if fish oil isn't going to smell is it?!

I use Holland and Barrett ones and they have no fish smell/taste at all

We have the Holland and Barrett capsules and they seem ok/never repeat on me!

A bit ££££ but amazing. Never any fishy burps or bad smells 😊

Another vote for Eye Q, I've used them for the DC for years with no issues/fishy side effects.

They are a bit £££ but I buy them in Boots on their 3for2 which helps bring the price down.
