What are the best brands of Fish Oil pills to use?
My doc recently recommended that I start taking Fish Oil pills, but when I went to the store, there were so many different brands to choose from. A friend of mine said to make sure the pills are enteric coated and do not just get the cheap brand. So can someone please tell me what brands to use that are in the mid-level price range?
Enetric coated means that the pills are coated with a substance that does not allow the pill to break down in your stomach, but instead breaking down in your small intestine (due to the differances in pH in the stomach vs. you SI). This not only negates the fishy after taste issue, but promotes absorption of a higher amount of the pills contents into your body (the small intestine sends the broken down chemicals to your liver for metabolism).
