I’ve been taking fish oil capsules for the past few years, and initially used another brand of fish oil capsules without an enteric coating. The other brand also offered an enteric coated product, which I also tried, but the Member’s Mark brand has excellent quality at a better price.
I have been using the recommended dosage, and have noticed that my fasting triglyceride level dropped from 130 in 4/2007 to 62 in 4/2008. My total cholesterol has decreased from 150 to 131 in the same period. While my HDL cholesterol was unaffected, my LDL cholesterol decreased from 103 to 98, and my VLDL cholesterol decreased from 26 to 12.
I don’t know how usual that is, but I am physically disabled, and was unable to increase my activity level. I also lost 30 pounds over the same time period, and suspect that my reduced fat diet may have also been a factor. While there are several factors affecting my test results, I believe that the enteric coated fish oil capsules were a significant factor. I have never had any “fishy” aftertaste with the Members Mark enteric coated fish oil capsules.
My nurse-practitioner had suggested taking fish oil capsules as a means of addressing my cholesterol levels. She recommended an enteric coated product so as to reduce the chances of having “fish breath”. Having two cats in the house makes this good advice.
I’ve been taking the Member’s Mark product for a couple of weeks now. I have had only one instance where I could smell my own breath but that was after some other gastric distress. I would say that the product lives up to its promises. The slight vanilla taste and aroma of the capsules makes swallowing more palatable.
