Fish Oil Pills

After trying fish oil pills for a while, you most certainly have noticed the fish gas that is so common with taking the supplements.  Try to take your pills just before bed or when having a gas problem might not be as bad.  Taking fish oil just before a huge meeting might not be a great idea until you know for sure how it will affect your system.

Here are some tips for reducing the side affects of fish oil pills giving you gas.

1. Make sure you are buying and taking the highest quality fish oil pills, and make sure they are extremely fresh.  These pills tend to go bad rather quickly and you don’t want to ingest that.  Cheaper pills can have undesirable ingredients mixed in that can lead to gas and stomach troubles.
2. Make sure to eat something when you take your pills, such as a small snack or lunch.  Mixing food with your fish oil pills helps the body to absorb the fatty acids slower, thus reducing the off-gassing.
3. Try freezing your pills when you get them.  Some people have found that taking frozen pills reduces the amount of gas by allowing the body to ingest the fatty acids more slowly.  Make sure to check the label for the manufacturers warning if they don’t want you to freeze your fish oil pills.

Good luck and enjoy your heath.
