Default Omega 3 supplements smaller than my fist...

I bought some of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002VG...e&n=3760901

because, you know, they're supposed to be good for you and stuff. Problem is they're freaking HUGE. Unswallowable for me huge. I'm not great with pills (a multivitamin's about as big as I can take), so it was a complete waste.

Anyone know of an Omega-3 supplement that's smaller and more swallowable?

Thanks-

-bb, looking for answers but anticipating oral sex jokes.

That's right...I'd like to know if there are smaller ones or non-liquid ones that I could break in half.

You could just buy Flax Seed oil. It doesn't taste all that bad mixed with a protein drink or whatever. It is more expensive, though.

Actually, Flax might be an Omega 6. If you are simply looking to add some healthy fats, however, it should suffice.

omega 3's and 6's are not interchangable. most americans get plenty of omega 6's. they serve totally differnt purposes in the body.

Didn't know that. From what source, primarily?

Sorry for the bad advice, OP. Eat more pink salmon or swallow hard.
