Furthermore, experts point to a common problem among Omega-3 consumers that is often a sign of low product quality: the unpleasant taste and fishy odor after taking the supplement. This is usually an indication of low-quality oil or an inappropriate chemical form of the capsule. Omega-3 in its natural form, known as Triglyceride (TG Form), is better absorbed by the body and minimizes the chance of an unpleasant taste in the mouth and regurgitation. In contrast, cheaper products are often in the Ethyl Ester form, which is lower in price but has poor absorption in the body and increases the likelihood of a fishy taste in the mouth. Hence, individuals should look for the term TG Form or Natural Triglyceride on the packaging to ensure they are getting the natural, high-quality form of the oil.
