    Dizzy Omega 3/fish oil pills??

    Anybody take these?
    I noticed a very strong fishy odor down there, so I assumed it was this and stopped the pills. Then I thought maybe the smell was caused by something else like maybe a yeast infection or something. So I started taking the pills again (I was told they're very good for you) after waiting a bit and the smell came back again. Now I'm sure it's this!

    ^ Nope.. I do think they make my face more oily though, whenever I stop taking them for 2 days, my face becomes drier.

    try Nordic naturals fish oil. it does not taste like fish at all, and you wont have fishy burps either. no negative side effects from it what so ever

    Thanks girls,
    I don't get fishy burps, I get a smell 'down there'
    I have very oily skin, so I guess no flax seed oil either
    I'm just gonna stop taking these

    If your twat smells fishy, you need to see a gynocologist. You probably have BV.

    Um, yes...what she said. Fish or fish oil pills don't make the vag smell fishy.

    Def. go see a gyno about that.

    I don't have BV I know for a fact
    The fishy smell stops as soon as I stop the pills
    but you're right I will see a gyn still, I will ask...

    I've been taking cheap generic fish oil for a year, never had any smell problems or fish burps.

    Try flaxseed oil pills instead of fish. That has omegas in it too.

    Well im not a doctor by no means BUT i honestly don't think the fish oil pills have ANYTHING to do w/ that area of ur body. Ive been taking fish oil too and NEVER have had that happen to me. so i think its something more. Definately go see a gyn.

    I just bought fish oil (omega 3) today.
    It says on the bottle "no fish burps" which made me giggle.
    I never took fish oil before but i hear it has some great benefits.
    My boyfriend also takes this but he keeps his in the fridge/freezer(??) as he says it combats the fish burps/breath.

    Anyways I hope it doesnt cause any smell down there. It doesnt seem like it would but I have heard eating pineapple can make things taste sweeter down there(no idea how true or if this is true?) so then couldnt fish oil have the same effect?

    I heard to keep them in the frig because they lose potency.

    flax isn't as bioavailable as fish oil, plus it's not actually the same omega-3, because it has to be converted by your body (not the case with marine-based oils), so the result is similar, but not identical.

    plant sources for nutrients tend to lack bioavailability when animal sources exist.
