I honestly dont know cause i do take fishoil vitamins pills and im scared of gaining weight

I have never heard of that before, if anything it aids in weight loss. You should do a google search on it and you will find alot of info.HTH

I can't take fish oil vitamins. they make me sick

I've never heard of FISH oil making you gain weight! It's an essential Omega oil (3's and 6's).

I don't think Fish Oil makes you gain weight--it's actually good for you, especially your brain.

I have trouble with the salmon oil as well, it does make me feel sick to, I even burp from it. I take flaxseed oil now and sometimes borage oil just to get my EFA's.

Fish oil contains omega-3's, it's very good for your heart! If any of you take fish oil and you end up burping it up and tasting it (so sick), then it's synthetic and your body does not recognize it because ANYTHING synthetic the body recognizes as a "poison", period. ALL vitamins you buy at GNC or ANY other vitamin store, they are ALL synthetic that's why if you are take them on an empty stomach and they give you a sick uneasy feeling in your stomach, they are NOT natural. That's crazy, huh? BELIEVE IT or NOT.

Yes, very true, if the company finds it cheaper to produce synthetic look alikes, they will! They don't seem to think of us. Another thing to watch out for is that because they are supplements, they do not follow similar guidelines as with food. By that I mean that what's in the pot doesn't have to be put on the label and what's on the label doesn't have to be put on the pot. If they are made to pharmeceutical grade, (which is very costly and why some supplements are pricier than others) then you can trust the label. HTH

I wanted to ask about the zinc and fish oil vitamins pills are they good and i heard that the fish oil make you gain weight is it true?

You can always try and see if zinc works for you and at what dosage.

You can also try fish oil or flaxseed oil whichever works for you better at what dosage.

I vote for FRESH Carrot Juice and FRESH Red Beets Juice.
I also vote for Fresh Wheat Grass Juice.

Fresh vegetables and fresh fruits trumps man made vitamins every time. Make fresh your first priority.

what is the importance to taking cod liver oil by the spoonful or with capsules? I always wanted to try it, but has anyone notice it help in skin maintenance?

why do people, for the most part, not have an adverse reaction to accutane, which is a synthetic form of vitamin A?

why do many people, again generally not react poorly to certain birth control pills or injections containing synthetic progesterone or other hormones?

what's so special about fish oil ?

thx

i like salmon : )

I do believe it cause it makes sense......about the synthetics or natural cuz your body knows....

Salmon is actually great at reducing and preventing wrinkles, they have awesome nutrients in them.

you mean the oil of salmon? that EFA essential fatty acids like DHA and EPA

I am not sure i have heard that as well, but i just eat oily fish like mackeral and lots of it an i havnt gained weight. I do take reglar exercise though.
