Are the capsules enteric coated? I hate burping up fish oil.

I don't know what the coating is, but there is no fish oil taste that many other capsules have. These things are great!

Not enteric coated but absolutely no fish oil taste even if chewed. Best and highest DHA available. NOW does have fish taste fyi.

I cannot speak to being enteric coated, but I have never burped up fish oil sith these DHA capsuels as I occasionally do with fish oil capsuels.

I think this should be a question for the manufacturer. It seems too much like medical advice to say whether to take a supplement without it's "sealed container." I have started taking mine every other day because I do notice a 'fishy" burp occasionally. Otherwise I like them. I would look for a smaller pill for your son, even if he has to take more than one to get the necessary amount.

They are capsules(softgels). I measure 7/8" long by 1/4" wide. Any capsule that has to contain 1000 mg of fish oil will be basically the same size.

I don't think I would them for that, even though the capsules are pretty sturdy, it seems to me because they do come apart, the oil might still seep through. I think the capsules for fish oil are a little tougher, in my opinion.

The unbroken capsules? No. To me they smelled vaguely of dried straw grass, not at all unpleasant. The after-burps? Not to be too gross, but that's very close to describing what they kind of "tasted" like. I couldn't continue taking them because they were that nasty.

The Now Foods website does not answer these questions. You may have to contact them directly to find out for sure. These are softgels, and the bottle label does list the ingredients for the gel and its contents, but no statement as to whether they are enteric coated and reflux free.

Similar to fish oil capsules you find at Costco. My ND recommended as a good product. They are too big for me to take twice a day, but you may be able to handle the size. Or maybe try the liquid ones. There are some with a lemon flavor.

It doesn't have a fish smell. I usually take it while eating dinner. I've never burped up fish taste like I did with fish oil capsules.

no, not at all, with coated capsules. I did with the non-coated capsules from NOW.

I don't notice any fishy smell. In fact, that's why I like this particular brand. I experience no fish smell and no fish taste. I have friends who say they can't take fish oil pills due to the "fish burps" they get, but I have never experienced this aftertaste with this product.

Krill oil does not have a fishy after taste or fishy burps. I hope this helps.

Yes, these are very large and can be quite difficult to swallow. Larger than fish oil, and are hard rather than gel. You have to psych yourself up to deal with these.

Hi J, We would like to thank you for trying Viva Labs Krill Oil and really appreciate your feedback about our product. Upon inspection it would appear as though our capsules are not entirely full, however our capsules are flushed with nitrogen in order to remove oxygen, thereby preserving essential omega-3's. While it appears as though there is an air bubble, rest assured each capsule does in fact contain 625mg of krill oil. Our krill oil is third party tested and results are shown on ConsumerLab.com, justifying our label claims and exceeding customer expectations. I hope that this information has been helpful and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly at amazon@vivalabs.com or through this comment thread and I would be happy to assist you.

Smaller than a most omega 3 fish oil pills. Never fear, they are NOT .75 inches in diameter as Melisa mistakenly posted...that is how LONG they are :-) They are capsules and my daughter who has a hard time swallowing pills is able to swallow them. I hope this helps. :-)

These capsules are not large and easy to swallow. They are much smaller than fish oil capsules.

Yes, some brands of fish oil capsules have vegetable glycerin in them. They also have gelatin to form the capsule.
