Do these have any taste to them when swallowing?

If you store them cold, as in a refrigerator or even freezer if you are really apprehensive about the fish/taste smell, it works really well to eliminate the fishy burps. I keep all my fish oil in the refrigerator and it has never bothered me. Keeping them slightly cold also does NOT alter any chemistry or effectiveness so do not worry!

I have been taking Omega-3 Fish Oil for about 6 years. The last 4 years I have stuck with Carlson's Super Omega-3. Initially, I could sense the fishy odor, especially with other brands. I have gotten use to the Carlson's Fish Oil and do not smell anything when swallowing. As an OTC nutritional supplement, Carlson seems to be a good buy. I only need 2 gel-caps per day to get my daily DHA and EPA requirement. Other OTC brands may need 3 or 4 capsules per day, and you may get more fishy burping.

I have been taking these for a few years and I find no fishy burps or taste in the mouth.

No taste at all. Once in awhile I get a little (perhaps reflux) taste later on, but not a problem. I don't buy the lemon flavored soft gels because they definitely have an after taste that I couldn't bear.

I noticed that they are a bit bitter, but it's nothing terrible, I just swallow them quickly. I have some raw vitamin capsules that taste far worse to to tongue, but I just swallow those quickly as well and chase it with something that tastes better.

supposedly no, but they are not of a good taste. They have some preservative added to maintain the color and chewy texture

There is a slight after taste, but it's not terrible. As for being easy to swallow, the gelatin shell gets a little sticky as soon as it gets wet, so I have trouble. I often have to chug full glasses of water after a pill, because it feels like it is stuck in my throat. I have a better time if I use a spoon of yogurt or applesauce to swallow the pill.

I found them to have a terrible taste but I don't know why. I noted that in my review. The only way I can get them down is to pool water in my mouth, push the capsule in and swallow quickly.

They have a clear coating. I have never had any aftertaste or chalkiness while swallowing them.

I also have a hard time swallowing pills. but with these I just chew them. No bad after taste.

I don't remember. It has been a while, but I did not have a problem swallowing them. Sorry to not be more help.

No odor, no vitamin taste. The pill is large so if you have a hard time swallowing (I don't), just be careful and wash it down with the fluid of your choice.

No they are chalky like normal pills. Wasn't bad to swallow though. I haven't seen a difference

I have no problem swallowing them. They're gel capsules about 3/4" long, and just slide down the throat.

No I don't think they taste chemically at all, and they do not leave a weird aftertaste. I have only used them in coffee. I love them. I have ordered them several times

They are a pretty good size (meaning not small). I don't particularly have difficulty swallowing, but if you do, they may be a challenge. If not, go for them. They seem to work for me!

Not too bad to swallow. Kind of like Omega 3 caps. These don't lodge in your throat like calcium.

yes. They have good flavor but aprx 15 min after taking I started vomiting violently. I thought maybe I should eat something before taking but it did not help. I threw them away!!

There is no bad taste. They can be put under the tongue and dissolve even more quickly than a remedy in pellet form. The texture is slightly different. Almost as if made with a powdered sugar base.

I personally didn't notice any after taste. These are the best ones I've found to get the 1000 mgs in something I'm able to swallow. I can't swallow tablets any longer and was hesitant at first over the size of these capsules but have no problem at all swallowing them. In fact ordering another bottle today. Hope this helps.
