FOR THOSE THAT TAKE FISH OIL...DOES IT MAKE YOU SMELL FISHY DOWN THERE?

Hello, ladies. I recently read that one of the many benefits of fish oil supplements was softer, stronger hair. I'm interested in taking these for health and beauty benefits, but I am concerned if the smell will begin to leak through my pores and I definitely don't want it changing my smell down there:nono:. Any ladies have this problem? And for those that do take fish oil have you seen any real changes in your hair?

I'm not taking it for hair, taking it for overall health/to provide EFA's, so no, I can't say that I have noticed anything.

What's it supposed to do for your hair? :lol:
 
I got the burps to and I cant stand the taste so I have to find something to mix it with to take. But whew!!!! Thanks goodness for no other side effects!
 
I find if you take it in the MIDDLE of a meal, it's about the best. If you take it at the end, you'll be burping up dinner AND fish :nono:, and if you take it at the start, you'll be burping fish during your meal :nono: but in the middle - not enough time to interupt the meal, enough food left to cover the burps. :yep:

I usually only pull that off at lunchtime. :lol:

Thank you, Iluvs!!! :lol: Just being me, ya know?
 
I don't have the fishy burps. No smell in the vjj area either. I take it for over all health, so if it's doing anything for my hair, it's an added bonus:yep:.
 
I had no reactions at all! No fishy burps, nothing down there either. I take the GNC brand and it has lemon extracts to counteract the fishiness. So I never had one of those fishy burps, thank goodness cuz that would be embarassing.
 
Flaxseed Oil and Omega 3 are for cardiovascular health. The added benefit is more moisture in the skin and hair.

I burp fish all day, so just decided to start eating tuna for lunch. Might as well eat fish if I'm gonna burp it :lachen:
 
i'm very concerned about these fish burps. do they taste tuna-fishy, or pet fish in the tank fishy? because i have tuna for lunch and dinner EVERY DAY (for the past 4 months), and i want to know if i'll be smelling yummy (like tuna) or stank.

Tuna-fishy. Actually, sorta salmon-fishy, to me. :lol: It's not a nasty/bad thing at all, just quite unexpected when you haven't eaten fish in a week, ya know? :lachen:

thanks for the replies ladies!!! you all are hilarious:lachen:. so, it looks like there are no real benefits to the hair, that's ok. Just being healthy is good enough for me.

I use "Omega Complex" by GNC.. It has a lemon flavor that I think masks the fishy burps.
I'm actually allergic to seafood and this is the only fish oil supplement that I was stomach.
I love it!
Also, I've never had a fishy burp or complaints of a fishy smell down south :-)
 
I use to get the fishy burps when I used Nature Own or GNC. My doctor schooled me on fish oil. I now only use the "pharmacutical grade" fish oil my Nordic Naturals. I get them from Whole Foods and they cost way more but one of my pills = 4 off brand pills. No more fishy anything.
 
This thread is so funny. Ok ladies, I want to tell you about the brand of fish oil that I use. It's called Udo's 3-6-9. It's a blend of Omega 3-6-9. For any fish oil, you can safely take 1TBS per 50 lbs of body weight. I take two tablespoons a day and I have NEVER had a fish burp. Why? This brand is NOT made from fish. The EFAs are plant derived! So it has a nutty flavor. I buy the liquid form, because your body absorbs more of it in this form. I take it without a chaser...the taste is pretty good! No nasty lemon overkill necessary. I know I sound like a commercial, but this stuff is great!

I buy mine in the refrigerated section of The Vitamin Shoppe. This brand is very popular with body builders and I first heard about it on a weight lifting board. Here is a link to the website:

I used Nordic Naturals before finding Udo's Choice blend. Their fish oil was great, but the heavy lemon flavoring was sickening!
 
I take Cod Liver Oil and an Omega 3 pills for my acne (its works wonders by the way). I never get fish burps with the oil but sometimes with the pills. I just take it when I first start eating and I don't have that problem. No fishy smell anywhere else

Co-signing on the Udo's Choice oil. It has the optimum balance of essential fatty acids (3,6 & 9). I have used it in place of butter on toast and also over popcorn.
 
I didn't have fishy burps or breath, and my va-jj was fine as far as that....no fishy smell there!!! BUT I did lower my dosage from 3 pills per day to 1 b/c those oily stools are NOT the bee's knees! AT ALL!
 
I take the coated pills that don't release till they're past your stomach- so no fish burps. Any one else take these? My mom gave me the cod liver oil since I was about 2 and no fishy smells anywhere either.
