If anyone is experiencing a fishy taste or other unpleasant digestive side effects from fish oil supplements, I recommend trying a pharmaceutical-grade fish oil supplement. Pharmaceutical-grade fish oils are much purer than those that are commonly available at health food stores. Barry Sears, in his latest book, says that 100 gallons of the health food store variety are needed to make 1 gallon of the pharmaceutical-grade variety.
There are two brands of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil available commercially: OmegaRx by Sears Labs in MA and Omegabrite by Dr. Andrew Stoll's company in TX. Both are available by mail.
They are equally pure. The main difference between the two brands is their ratio of DHA to EPA. And there is much debate over which (EPA or DHA) is more responsible for the beneficial effects yielded by the various fish oil studies.
