A member asked:

Can i make smoothies with omega 3 and fish oil pills? or will my body only absorb these in pill form?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Horrible taste: Omega 3 oils can be absorbed in many other forms such as fish; they do not need to be in capsules. The problem with a fish oil smoothie is the disgusting taste.
