    According to science, not a whole lot:

    I don't know, the prescription strength (4 g) pills seemed to keep my triglycerides in check lowering the numbers significantly. It does some things for some people.

    What are fish burps? I've been taking fish oil pills for years, both generic and prescription and I've never had them.

    Literally burping up fish taste/smell after taking the pills. This is my first experience taking them and there is a pleasant lemony taste/smell if I burp after taking them. They put natural lemon taste in them for that reason.

    Thank you! Both my prescription and generic brands must have been "burpless".

    When I injured my knee I switched running for spin class. It was a nice transition. I think that sounds like a good idea! Just don't up the resistance too high for the knee pain.
