    Default Multivitamin and Omega 3 with NO taste?

    I need to find a new multivitamin and Omega3. I was taking the GNC "Be Whole" pack, but I've become increasingly sensitive to the taste of the multivitamin and fish oil capsules, to the point that I can barely choke them down and feel nauseous after taking them. The multivitamin has a very strong smell and taste, and the fish oil capsules give me fishy burps all day.

    So, any recommendations? Preferably something I can get at GNC or on Amazon. Thanks!

    The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. - Anna Quindlen

    I am in love with the smarty pants brand of gummy vitamins, if gummy ones interest you at all. Very yummy, no fish taste or smell. Originally made for kids, they have an an adult version now. It is a multi plus omega 3s and are very tasty gum drops from only natural and organic ingredients.

    they are available on their own website and also on amazon.

    I use the vitacost brand and they're flavored with strawberry. Instead of burping up fish I burp up strawberry. My mom takes them too but she doesn't burp up anything so I guess it depends.

    Fish oil shouldn't taste fishy or it's gone bad. I drink the vitacost cod liver oil liquid that's lemon flavored and only tastes like lemon. It's the equivalent to the carlson's liquid that is much pricier.

    I take the Odorless Fish oils from Trader Joes and I don't have fish burps at all!

    I take these daily and never have fishy taste problems.

    I take a multi by Nature Made that you can buy at Walgreens. It goes down easy and doesn't have much taste. I take them at once, so the strawberry flavor from the fish oil capsules helps them all go down easy.

    We (kids, DH, myself) use the Pure Alaska brand. I get them from Costco for a very reasonable price. No fishy aftertaste/burps.

    Us too. I love that they are smallish and easy to swallow.
