The fish oil supplement market has grown as numerous studies point to the positive benefits of ingesting the omega-3 fatty acids contained in the capsules.

But despite the expected positives from taking fish oil capsules, some people have taken to social media to complain about their experiences with the supplements.

For many, their complaints have nothing to do with how well the supplements are working, but instead center around the sometimes fishy burps that accompany taking fish oil capsules.

My doctor now tells me fish oil pills did me no good but I'm sure those repulsive fish burps prevented at least one STD along the way.

Others took to Twitter to joke about the fact that fish oil is supposed to help brain health.

If I can't remember wether I've taken my fish oil or not does that mean it's not working?

Still others don’t believe they’re seeing the benefits from taking fish oil capsules that they expected.
