Hi Jenni,

As an add on to my last message, for a good overview about what to

be looking for in cod liver oil the following article is very good:

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/clarifications.html .

The article was written by Dr. Enig who I have referenced about

before; she is recognized internationally as an expert in eatable

oils. A friend just let me know that Enig is no longer recommending

Carlson's brand because they are reformulating its ingredients

and omitting Vitamin A, which is one of the critical factors, in

reaping the real benefits of code liver oil.

I have no personal knowledge about the Blue Ice brand she references

but I do know the Radiant Life is excellent but doesn't taste

very good, I don't believe they add lemon as other brands

sometimes do. In my opinion the lemon juice seems to do the best

job disguising the bad taste. As I said before, keep it

refrigerated so it stays fresh and also makes it easier to swallow.

For even more in depth information cod liver oil, go to the

following web site:

Hi Jenni,

It depends on the brand cod liver oil you buy. We tried a

variety and found that the lemon flavored one by Carlson's tasted

the best. For us their really isn't much taste, but everyone has

different taste buds.

We tried the gel caps that where mentioned but they are more

expensive, so we opted for the liquid form. Also, some may have

difficulty swallowing the gel caps because of the size. There

is however a good brand by Eskimo III that has super small gel caps

that might work for those unable to swallow the larger caps.

Other than those options just trying to hide it various foods if

possible is the best approach.
