Fish Oil

I had been thinking about buying some fish oil supplement to up my omega-3 intake. There seems to be near unanimous agreement that omega-3 fatty acids help prevent a myriad of diseases (especially heart disease). In the UK, fish oil tablets are even regularly prescribed after heart attacks.

The problem I have is that the pills are huge. I have always had a lot of difficulty getting pills down, and these are twice the size of anything I've been able to swallow. And you have to take multiple pills a day.

The idea of taking fish oil straight (ie, in liquid form) seemed a bit disgusting, but apparently Carlson Labs makes a product that is remarkably pleasant tasting. I'm not sure where I can find it--I know Walgreens doesn't have it but I may try GNC. I can always get it on Amazon in a pinch, but it'll probably be more expensive.
