Not Burpless; Horrible Taste
Product: Built By Nature Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplement 3600mg High DHA & EPA Natural Fatty Acids, Pure and Tested Wild-Caught Fish, Triple Strength Brain, Heart, and Joint Support, Burpless Subtle Lemon Flavor, 60 Softgels<br /><br />I really wanted to like these, and I had great hopes for them. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way.<br /><br />First, these are NOT burpless. I was burping them up 1 out of 3 times taking them. That’s bad enough, but it is not an uncommon experience with fish oil supplements. The taste was just horrible, even for fish oil. Maybe it was the lemon flavoring, I don’t know. It was just worse than other fish oil I”ve burped up. I ended up not being able to finish the bottle, which is very unusual for me. I’ll usually go ahead with a moderately bad flavor. The expiration date for my bottle was good for about a year, so freshness shouldn’t have been the problem. This was with taking only 1 as a dose. I can’t imagine what it would have been like taking the recommended 3 per dose.<br /><br />That 3 softgel dose is also higher than most fish oil supplements,which tend to be only 2. This means the bottle only lasts for 20 days, not a full month. It also means taking 3 large pills, which these are. I could swallow them, but they might be hard for anyone who has any difficulty swallowing pills.<br /><br />The bottom line is these just didn’t work for me.
