Omega 3 advice

[ally1966]

Hello all,

My doctor has advised that I start taking an Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplement. I looked for them at the grocery and was immediately confused by the many choices! I'll probably go to a nutrition store next, but I wonder if anyone takes these and has advice on brands/types? I'd prefer to steer clear of anything that will taste like fish...

Thanks!
Allison

It's a jungle out there, but I trust Dr. Weil's supplements. For one thing, they are highly rated by International Fish Oil Standards http://www.nutrasource.ca/ifos_new/index.cfm?section=ifosconsumer

For me, Dr. Weil is the one consistent voice of reason in a confusing world. Another good link: http://www.nutritionaloutlook.com/article.php?ArticleID=2068

Hope this helps.

Nancy -- thanks! I've done some reading on Dr. Weil's website, and found a store in my town that carries his supplements. I appreciate the advice!

Allison-
A store that carries Dr. Weil? Wow. I thought you had to buy that stuff online. That's great.

I used the search on drweil.com for finding a store in your area. I'm in central Indiana, but apparently our great ethnic food market carries his supplements. I'll be checking it out soon!
