Thanks, Henry. As you may see in a later thread, I cited another of your posts and a link you had provided.
The Costco is really inexpensive--wow. Unfortunately, Costco is not convenient for me. Oh well.
I am taking a similar pill, though. It is a store brand of an independent pharmacy I like. Same thing--1000mg pills, and I would need about 5 of them to get 1 gm of EPA. There is a little "essence" of fish and a couple of burps, but not much. The pills are large, it's true, but they are soft and easy to swallow (unlike my multivitamin pill which is kind of a challenge to swallow--it even has angular edges, which on a big pill, is puzzling). I broke my vegetarian rules by using the gelatin capsules, though. (I do eat fish, though). But this might be a good reason to go for the liquid oil. My pharmacy does carry the lemon-flavored one, which the pharmacist recommended over the store brand pills because of the pleasanter taste and because it packs in more EPA per serving.
Is it my imagination, or can a week on fish oil start to show in slightly improved mood?
