Does anyone take Omega 3's?. I heard all types of vitamins except for these.Currently I am puncturing the pouch it comes in squeezing it into a small amnt of juice and chucking it down. YUKCK...I assume we cant digest the capsule it comes in. Is there a better way?? Except for eating fish, since I hate fish. Please good products out there?

Are you talking about Coromega?

I have Flax Seed Omega-3. I don't puncture the pill and I think it desolves fine. How do I know this? - well I had one in my mouth looking for water and it desolved enough to let the oils run out. Yuck! You can try this test your self but it was not fun. I think you can get by just swallowing it.

I take ground Flaxseed and sprinke it in my morning yogurt or oatmeal.  I never taste it, but there is a bit of consistency change - nothing that bothers me too much.

I take the whole Omega-3 Fish Oil capsule...I don't bother to puncture it either.

If necessary you can buy fish oil caps, refridgerate (keeps down the fish burps and lousy tast) and punch a hole in those.

if you want to be sure you are getting the benefits, like if you are measuring your HDL or something, you'd need to take Coromega or grind your own flax seeds (or buy it ground)

you can use the oil, and it's not the "shell" that is the problem, it's the oil. you are malabsorbing more than you get;.

if you want to take it "because it's good for you", then it doesn't matter, since you'll get a little bit in the oils.

you only get about 30% of your fats and oils, hence the issues with fat soluble vites.
