"For days I couldn't figure out why I had diarrhea. Then it occured to me that the only thing I changed was the brand of the Fish Oil. Once I stopped taking this brand of the fish oil supplement the heart burn and diarrhea cleared."

Excellent Source for Omegas,

"I have always been extremely pleased with the quality and efficacy of Twinlab products, and the Mega Twin EPA is no disappointment. This is a fantastic choice for a superinjection of Omegas.
And yes... its high-quality, concentrated fish oil, so you're going to have a few fishy burps. Wouldn't you wonder about the quality of a fish-oil based product that didn't? Fish is a pungent food. One thing I can say for sure is that fishy burps are NOT a sign of a bad batch (as another reviewer suggested)
The benefits of adding EFAs to a lean diet far outweight this minor inconvenience."

Rather unpleasant,

"Taking this supplement consistently results in unpleasant fishy burps. I've tried several brands of fish oil softgels and have only encountered this problem with this product. Before meal, during meal, after meal: all result in the same unpleasant effects. I'll concede I may have a "bad batch" however, I see I'm not alone in this experience. Too bad, I normally regard Twinlab as a good brand."

Fish oil,

"If you get an after taste from your fish oil capsules, that means the capsules have gone bad, so send the bottle back and ask for a new bottle"

Bad batch?,

Effectiveness:

"I read the reviews of this product and I must have got a bad batch or something. The fish smell and aftertaste is so awful that I have discontinued using them until new ones arrive. The softgels also stick together so badly that I have to use a knife to pry them apart each time I take one. I suggest buying the NSI fish oil softgels. They're not quite as potent (per softgel) but they don't have the fishy smell/aftertaste."

"If one must take as recommended or more than recommended because of Doctor's orders, this is a great product. Does not have fishy smell nor taste. Also, the ingredients are higher. There are cheaper products out there but when you open the bottle you must hold your breath. It is worth every penny buying this product."
