Flaxseed and Fish Oil

Post by queball »

I have been taking some flaxseed and fish oil pills. When I first started taking the pills they seemed normal. Now, they feel rubbery in hands and I can squeeze them. I know I heard on the news a couple of years ago about how some fish oil pills can be giving an empty benefit if they are too old and I was wondering if there is anything to worry about these pills and I have changing its form and firmness.

Hard to say. Might be a problem. Ones that cause "fishy burps" apparently have an issue, and might be better cold filtered.

Old ones will obviosuly start to lose nutritional quality, or perhaps you've been buying a different brand.

Maybe you could look into something like Krill Oil, as an alternative.
