Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Hi All, I recently started taking Cod Liver OIl and was told before hand that usually if the oil had a " Fishy " taste and lingered, it was bad oil ....So far I have used three different brands and all three have the " Fishy " oil taste but does not linger....I need some help here....Does anyone know in depth about good or bad Cod Liver oil....Thanks Love always Paz - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 I only recently started taking " fish oil " pills and since they are gel, they don't taste like anything going down. However, " fish burps " aren't uncommon.... While I'm not a pill expert - I eat Cod (bacalao) on a very regular basis. It always struck me as a " fishy fish " - so I'd be suspect if the oil wasn't as well.. If you know a good grocery or botanica that caters to Latinos, there is a brand that comes in a small box and is flavored to be sweet. These pills are small, red and solid. The ones I take are gelled with an oil inside. I think the solid ones may be for people (maybe children) with an aversion to the usual taste. However, I'm not sure how many you would have to take to equal the larger, more fishy pills. The Spanish for " cod liver oil " would be " aceite de bacalao " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dear Members, since the days are getting shorter, I bought myself a (large) bottle of cod liver oil, thinking of the wonderful health benefits a daily teaspoon of that stuff would bestow on me. Unfortunately it tastes awful and I am ready to pour it down the sink. The label states that 1tsp contains 4000IUs of vitamin A and 400IUs of Vitamin D3. Does anybody have some suggestion how to make codliver oil more palatable? Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Carlson sells a lemon cod liver oil that tastes good. You could try adding some lemon juice to yours and see if that helps.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi Lisa, I hope you are well. I just recently started taking fish oil again and I stopped because I didnt like the taste. You can do the capsules, but the oil is supposed to be better. I use Carlson's lemon flavor, which is a little better. What I found to be effective is to take the oil and then drink water right after and that makes it much more tolerable. I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Dear Members, thank you for all the helpful advice. As suggested, I am now taking the oil with honey and lemon, heavy on the honey ;-). It works fine. Next time around I will try to find Carlson's lemon flavored oil or buy capsules. Actually somebody else suggested to eat a piece of bread after taking the cod liver oil. Thanks again, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
