I really don't understand the fish taste...my nephew claims they taste like "cheeseburger juice" and the taste I've gotten from a broken capsule is sort of oily/neutral. CLA comes from no fish sources at all.

I took 3.2g a day, spaced more heavily earlier in the day, and noticed results in a month or two (changing nothing else at that time.) I had friends say the same...then again, an equal number of people said they noticed nothing. So it's really YMMV.
