> I'd be interested to know specifically what fish oils folks are taking with success. I go to websites at iherb, Puritan's Pride, etc and am overwhelmed by the choices, prices, etc. I'd like to get the most bang for my buck and not have to take a lot pills, also. I am taking Cod Liver oil which has a lot of EPA, but some here have warned of taking this form for a long period of time. I'm confused.

Any more than that provokes diarrhea or causes some minor sleep disruption. If money saving is what you are after I would just find a cheap standard fish oil at Walgreen's/Walmart/local store that *doesn't* give you much of a nasty fish burp. Maybe folks here ought to post about some of the "fishier" brands to perhaps avoid. FWIW, I had a cheap jug of "NOW Max EPA" and before I finished it one of the capsules split open inside the container and leaked (nasty). I kept it in the refrigerator. I noticed that when I took the container out to get a capsule, humidity from the room air was rapidly condensing on the capsules inside the jug. I keep it in a cupboard now instead (at room temp).
