So many moms ask, "how do I avoid 'burping up' the taste of fish if I'm taking fish oil?"

First and most important, the greater the quality of the fish oil you're taking, the less you'll burp it up. The refinement process helps immensely with this. A lot of moms I work with 'disguise' fish oil in a daily, healthy smoothie for their kids (combined with fresh fruit, greens and protein), or just in a glass of juice. My kids will slurp it right off the spoon then have a big drink of water as a 'chaser', or a bite of fruit. (For my best recommendations on greens and protein, check out http://www.FirstShake.com/4251 and request your FREE samples of Greens First and Dream Protein.)

I've never, ever enjoyed the taste of fish, although I keep trying! Even so, I've found that the top notch fish oils really don't taste very fishy at all! They just taste like oil with lemon.... and a slight trace of the deep sea! If it tasted like fish, I'd be doing much more than burping it up!!!

Another tip to prevent the after taste is to take your oil at night. Lots of pregnant mommies have shared this successful tip!

The bottom line is that no matter what your thoughts might be about the taste, the health benefits so overwhelmingly outweigh any "negatives"... it's really a non-issue when you look at the exceptional benefits of omega-3's. Your brain will thank you!
