Re: Fish Oil vs Coconut Oil/MCT oil

[Guest guest]

, most oils must be broken down by the digestive enzyme lipase prior to

their absorption. Coconut oil's MCT and SCT percentages don't because they are

simply absorbed. If you react to some oils you may benefit from a digestive

enzyme supplement that contains lipase with the meal.

all good,

Have you tried fermented cod liver oil? it's expensive, but supposed to be

superior to all other fish oils in terms of vitamins, esp bio available Vit A &

D. Since it's fermented, I'd think it would be more digestible.

My experience is that fermented things always have a leg up on fresh.

So yes...

I got my first bottle of fermented cod liver oil (capsules) on Amazon with gift

cards I earned on swagbucks. Now whatever I want I just put it on my amazon wish

list and wait for my gift cards to build up until i can buy it. kind of like

google, but you get paid to search:

I've gotten & spent over $200 in amazon gift cards over the past year.
