Considering this brand but which is better--omegas from cod liver oil or sardines and anchovies? Also concerned about getting too much Vitamin A.

I've stuck with this brand for a while. The most economical! I eat plenty of fish also. Taking this every day(I only take 2 a day instead of the recommended 3) gives you a consistent level of fish oil(I don't eat fish every day). I think if you google the vitamin A amount in this product(255-900I.U) you'll see that's not a high dose at all.

My doctor recommended that I give my child a spoon full every morning. He is now 11 yrs old and have been doing this since he was 6 yrs old. This product contains high amounts of EPA and DHA, both crucial Omega-3 fatty acids. DHA is particularly needed for proper brain and nervous system function. It contains High levels of a natural form of vitamin A. This particular product has no mercury and has a slight taste of lemon, which makes it easier to swallow. I suggest you to learn more about Cod live oil and its propeties and how beneficial is for adults as well, i personally recommend it to everyone. I hope this information is helpful.

When you use the Cod Liver Oil flavored Lightly with Lemon, you don't taste it (usually over and over) again. My eye doctor told me about this, when he strongly suggested that I try it for an issue that I'm having with my eyes - - he knows that I'm a wimp about the taste of cod liver oil anyhow, so he suggested that I use the lemon-flavored oil; but he did tell me to use Carlson's oil, whatever flavor that I ended up using. He would not recommend any of the other brands of cod liver oils. Hope that this helps.

This may be a more trivial answer, but the bottle is much messier than Carlson's bottles. The Carlson's bottles pour very well. This one tends to accumulate drips on the sides.Given that you have to trust what's on the label anyway, it's hard to know whether the Omega-3 content is any better or worse. I felt comfortable switching from Carlson's after doing some research on their testing.

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.

NO---Krill oil is produced from the Krill fish which are almost microscopic to only a couple millimeters long and from the coldest waters of the Antarctic. The colour of the Krill is much deeper red or brown. The deeper the colour also will denote the better antioxident power. Granted, Cod Liver Oil is an excellent supplement, especially if it is a cold processed type like the NOW brand. Many are heat processed which will easily become rancid. Try Krill oil, especially if you have a cholesterol or trigliceride imbalance, joint issues, arthritis, or distressed immune system. Hope this helps.

No soy no ALA. This is one of the best Cod liver oils on the market, google it for more info.

Other ingredients are listed as Anchovy and Sardine, probably minor bycatch. Overall very good and potent in Omega complex oils, and really good natural anti-inflammatory.

The ones in the blue box taste better IMO. The White box ones says "pure " olive oil , it doesnt say extra virgin anywhere, at least not on any of my boxes. The white box is certified NON GMO. Not sure how many GMO sardines are swimming around out there but in any case, if that is important to you than the white box is better for you. THe blue box has a more pronounced sardine flavor, the white box tastes lighter to me

Half of the nutrients are in the bones and skins - also great flavor. I also prefer sardines in oil! &#9788; Bud &#9788;

As it says on the label, each capsule contains 1000 mg of fish oil, which is 300 mg of omega-3, which consists of DHA, EPA and other fatty acids. If you want more details, you will have to ask the anchovies, mackerel and sardines who made it.

No, ingredients state: Cod Liver Oil and nothing else. Cod Liver Oil naturally has Vitamin A and D

I asked a similar question because I was unaware that the company also sells the Fish Oil? Can you take them both? How do they differ besides the fact that CLO has more Vitamin A/D??

They sell another butter oil which is in capsules, I think that is the one you are talking about. It has 60 servings, while the straight butter oil which is not in capsules has 96 servings. It breaks down to about 62 cents a serving for capsules and 59 cents a serving for the straight oil. The oil is easy to take and tastes buttery.There is also a high vitamin butter oil and fermented cod liver oil blend. Not sure if you might be referring to that one? Some of those are more expensive and some are less, depending on the seller. In that case, it's 2/3 cod liver oil and only 1/3 butter oil.Hope this helps.
