What are the benefits of fish oil?

Can I drink liquid fish oil with water without ruining the benefits of the fish oil?

  • I drink a teaspoon of a liquid fish oil supplement ever day. I find just swallowing the teaspoon of oil a little foul. I know if I pour it into water it'll just float on the top but i still find it a lot easier to swallow like that because there's so much liquid I barely notice the oil. But would this dilute the effect of the fish oil in any way? Would it still work properly? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Water should be fine. Although when taking omega 3 supplements it is best to take with some fat. So take it after eating som ekind of fatty food. You should switch to a flavored fish oil. I take Carlson's lemon flavored and it tastes just fine. Also 1 time I accidentally bought normal flavored - which is "fish" flavored. I found that eating a couple of grapes after taking the "shot" of fish oil. It helped a lot. I would consider taking another type of omega 3 supplement. Fish oil caplet or krill oil caps. No horrible tastes and all the benefits.

Yes I don't see why not? But I prefer capsules.

I can't see why that would be a problem. You're still taking in the same substance. Diluting it with water might slightly delay absorption of the oil, but I'd imagine that wouldn't be a problem. If anything, pacing out absorption of the oil might be to your advantage. 'Course, I take my fish oil in tablet form...

It would still work perfectly well, although I would think swallowing the capsules is much easier. :)

why would water dilute it? It stays in the glass and then goes to your belly, doesnt it?! So no, its fine.
