Fish Oil - liquid or capsule

Fish oil is good for hair, skin and can also combat diseases.  Fish oil has many health benefits and can cure illnesses.
For a healthy heart
To protect the heart, one should eat food containing fish oil. It has omega 3 that reduces the risk of heart diseases. It reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol, which is bad cholesterol, and increases the HDL levels or the good cholesterol. Thus fish oil can help to avoid heart strokes.
BUT should you take fish oil by liquid or by capsule.  Well I'll give you my take.  I am a big fish oil supporter, I know with myself, I just feel better when I take it, and I even have more energy.  I have been taking it in a capsule, but I have to take many in a day to get the appropriate amounts that I want.  So I thought I would get the liquid and add to my morning smoothie.   So I shopped around to get a good quality, and one that had flavouring to it, to mask that nasty fishy taste.  
Well, I think I will go back to taking the several capsules per day.  Although I can drink it, I can still taste that oily fishy after taste, and it takes the enjoyment of taste from my morning smoothie.  
If the oily fishy taste does not bother you, then by all means, taking it by liquid is a terrific way to get your proper amounts of fish oil (and omega 3) in a day - but if that taste bothers you at all.... join me and head back to the capsules.  I would rather take several capsules per day, that have my morning drink having a flavour that is really not that enjoyable.
