Cod liver oil does seem the most popular here. I thought that it was used mostly in winter and other fish oil is used in summer (other meaning which kind...I don't know). I have been taking Flaxseed oil and was using Woman's Oil . I have to provide more stomach acid because if not I will belch fish oil all day...Does anyone else have this problem?

While pregnant this is not tolerable.
Lisa posted about Coromega fish oil..that looked interesting. I just know this is a supplement that I definitely need for various reasons. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I take CLO year round. When I burp, it tastes like lemon, not fish. I use Carlson brand liquid. I used to take another brand of capsules and burped fish all day

. I hear flaxseed is supposed to be so good for you but I do not know much about it.

Tammy, the Coromega is an orange flavored product with a pudding texture. You can refrigerate it and use it cold, you can add it to yogurt or smoothies. I squeeze it onto a spoon for my children. It says right on the package, "No fish burps!"

I think it is an excellent product. I started taking it when pregnant with my third child, after going through post partum depression after my second baby. It seems to have helped my emotional well-being tremendously.

I have used flax seed and flax seed oil, but I really don't care for the flavor, and have found the oil to go rancid well before I was able to use it all. The Omega 3's in fish oil is supposed to be more bioavailable than in flax seed/oil.

You can order a free sample of Coromega from their website, if you are interested in trying it.

Thanks for the info Rebecca and Lisa.

I have enough indigestion with this pregnancy.
