Carlson - The Very Finest Fish Oil, 1600 mg Omega-3s, Liquid Supplement, Norwegian, Wild-Caught, Sustainably Sourced , Lemon, 16.9 Fl Oz

I'm sold! I bought cod liver oil for my little Russian Blue before...a couple of times...and I stuck to what I bought the first time when I purchased the second time. However, I started reading about cod liver oil and how it should NOT smell fishy. I didn't know. Therefore, I started looking at reviews and different brands. I also am drawn to glass bottles. I know everything consumed or used on our bodies is MUCH better in a glass bottle, that plastics are toxic. I know I smell plastics, and if they stink, I won't use them.It was not clear to me that this was a glass bottle, but looking at the photo, it looked like it could be. I was VERY pleased to find out, IT'S GLASS!!! The lid is the lightweight metal type that has the vertically perforated bottom that hugs the glass but will expand to remove and replace. I read that some people complained about the lid, but I figured I'd find a lid that fit if I didn't like the oil. I bought it for my kitty, as I've not done well using cod liver oil personally. However, this one has NO FISHY SMELL! That, alone, sells me on the next purchase. The size, for the money, it's more expensive, but how valuable is our health? Since my little kitty loves it...and she is VERY picky...I shall give it a thumbs up. I'd say it's very effective with her. I've noticed her eating more, her appetite picking up. The size of the bottle is great for what I'm using it for right now. I think I'm going to give this brand a try for myself, too! NO FISHY? Just wow!

I tried Carlson's Fish Oil after hearing it praised as a quality source of Omega 3s by a couple of health gurus on YouTube. I have included Omega 3s in my health care routine for well over 20 years. I used to take fish oil softgels, and then moved to krill oil softgels and vegan/algae softgels. These were always 'fine' to take. Neutral taste, sometimes a bit large to swallow. When I tasted the Carlson's I was surprised that it was actually pleasant to take! It is smooth, with a very mild lemony taste - it smells, tastes, and feels pure and clean. Having it chilled due to refrigerator storage enhances the pleasurable experience.Only once during the last 20 years have I experienced omega 3 products going bad, but it is an experience I prefer never to have again! I feel safer with Carlson's as a source -- I expect any changes would be easier to detect in a liquid than in softgels, and the risk of going bad should be minimized by keeping the bottle refrigerated.While I have grown accustomed to the high costs of some Omega 3 products, I did feel a bit of sticker shock when I saw the cost of this bottle of Carlson's. I decided to do a mathematical comparison. Not all the products I looked at reported total mgs of Omega 3s, but they did report total mgs per serving of EPA, DHA, and some included DPA. I calculated the cost per teaspoon of Carlson's and the cost per softgel for the others (from Subscribe & Save prices), then divided that amount by the total mg of (EPA + DHA + DPA) reported to be available in a softgel or teaspoon, to obtain the cost for 1 mg of the healthful components I was seeking. I looked at three brands of Krill Oil because I had previously compared those three and had the data. The costs were:$0.00311 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 1) - also reports phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00270 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 2) - also reports choline, phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00230 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA --------- Krill Oil (Brand 3) - also reports phospholipids & aztaxanthin$0.00142 for 1 mg of DHA/DPA --- Vegan/algae sourced omega 3s$0.00029 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA/DPA --- Carlson's Fish Oil liquid$0.00022 for 1 mg of EPA/DHA/DPA --- High quality brand of Fish Oil softgelsI am personally shooting for about 2 grams of EPA per day and about 2 grams of DHA per day. That is probably going to require some combination of the above. I have decided, though, that Carlson's Fish Oil liquid is going to be the base of my omega 3 protocol.

This is a great fish oil!!! Have used it for over 12 yrs and it has made a huge difference in how much faster my hair grows and having healthy nails which also no longer chip or peel. I like either lemon or orange flavor. I take 2 tbs a day which is more than recommended but then I also see fantastic results....was getting it from another supplier but Amazon was almost $5 cheaper and sooner delivery. This is also being written pre tariff so not sure what price might raise up to.

The easiest way to incorporate fish oils into one’s diet. My vegetarian sister was able to tolerate the taste of this oil and that’s saying something. The lemon completely covers the fish taste.If there were to be one improvement, it would be to replace the “natural flavors” as this ingredient is nonspecific and can be a harmless ingredient or something that I’d rather avoid and we can’t know the difference.

Anyone who knows me, know that I hate all things seafood! I do not eat seafood and can't stand the smell. When my Omega-3 Index and several other biomarkers came back 'out of range', I knew I had to start taking Omega 3's.After a lot of research, I landed on Carlson which has a great reputation and is even taken by some well-known longevity experts. I hate taking large pills, so I decided that the liquid was best for me. I initially put it in my smoothies, but based on some other reviews, decided to try it right out of the bottle onto a teaspoon. This stuff is really tasty, and the orange flavor is great! I actually look forward to taking it 2x/day. I have put this on subscribe and save and this will be a lifelong supplement for me!

Great quality

My naturopathic doctor recommends the Carlson brand. This order was convenient and less expensive that local stores (when you can find this product in local stores). This product has a high Omega-3 content, and no unpleasant taste.

Yes, this product helped take away my menstrual cramps almost immediately. I did drink it straight out of the bottle. I didn’t measure how much I drank. It must’ve been like 2-3 drinks, but I was shocked how good I felt afterwards.
