> Okay, so I'm guessing I can't just walk into Trader Joe's and get their fish oil capsules?
Walmart's house brand seems OK to me. I don't know what to recommend, as I don't know Trader Joe's.
>Also, I have digestive problems and remember taking one fish oil capsule a long time ago and burping it up all day. Is there a brand you recommend that might assimilate easier? Thanks.
The assimilation issue is related to bile release. If you have gallbladder problems, for example, you may not assimilate fats well. Over time, your tolerance should increase. Try one capsule with your biggest meal of the day, and work up from there.
The biggest issue with fish oil isn't brand, so much as it is rancidity. Fish oil oxidizes readily, so you should see tocopherol (vitamin E)or another anti-oxidant listed as an ingredient.
