How does this compare to the capsules with just Fermented Cod Liver Oil? Why is it so much more expensive?

The seller can better answer your question. I'm just a sucker that believes the hype. I can't find any other companies that market this product with the royal butter. I've often wondered what the difference is too.

Vitamin K2 in the butter helps you make the most of the vitamin D in the cod liver oil. Not sure why they charge so much more.

the combo is supposed to be best per weston price, the high vitamin butter oil has vitamin k2 also

I bought the gel inadvertently, thinking I was ordering the capsules. It is otherwise unflavored and very fishy. I had difficulty getting it down, vs. no difficulty with the capsules. I did not notice any superior effects of the gel vs. the capsules; if anything the capsules gave more and quicker benefits. Both helped chronic skin conditions. Both had positive effects on sexual health. I'm getting ready to reorder and will be getting the capsules again this time. Hope that helps.

YES, and that is very high. I get it at our local supermarket for 2 for $5.00 on sale; however, it's rarely over that anyway - there. I cannot figure out why it's over $3.80/bottle purchasing in quantity from Amazon, yet less in a regular supermarket - their variety, contents, label wrap, et al are identical, and so is the product. My doctor definitely favors this product, and doubled my daily intake to 2 bottles because my protein levels are low (I'm on chemotherapy). This is not worth the high corst. Take a vitamin pill (1/2 twice a day), and mix 1 C non-fat dry milk with 1 C of regular milk (not low fat, now 2%, etc), add your own flavoring and ya'got it, except that amounts to about 100 GM of protein.

I have been taking 2 capsules of cod liver oil per day for the last few years with no problem. My health has improved. Our soils have become so depleted of all nutrients, including vitamin A. I love eating fruits and vegetables but they do not contain the same amount of nutrition as they did back when our great grand parents were alive. This is one of the main reasons why I take cod liver oil capsules. It also contains vitamins D and K. Green pastures is the company that sells this product and their recommended dosage is at safe levels. If our soils weren't so depleted than we would not have to take supplementation such as this. For further information, please check with green pastures website. I have been taking 2 capsules of cod liver oil per day for the last few years with no problem. My health has improved.

I find this dressing is overpriced on Amazon. I can purchase it at King Soopers (Kroger)!for 4.79 a bottle. At that price it is well worth it and delicious.

It is expensive. this is one of the few times that Amazon doesn't have the best price. Go to the Nespresso website. Most of the capsules are 65 cents. There is a minimum of 50, but you can choose different flavors. Even with the $6.95 shipping charge the cost per capsule is 79 cents....less than the $1.18 on Amazon.

Lucky for you! The tests from this show it is not cod liver, not even cod...but alaskan pollock. Not fermented but merely putrid. Horrid scam!

No difference. Other than the price. You pay extra for the convenience of a capsule.

These fish oil capsules are smaller than others I have tried. They are also more concentrated so you take only 1 per day. The best part for me is that they have less after taste for 'fishy' burps than other fish oil pills. I have finally found one I can take.

The only truly fermented CLO on the market that I'm aware of is Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil by Green Pasture. It can be pretty expensive, though.

I personally like the capsules. They last longer than the liquid. And work just as well. I hope this helps.

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

I don't think it is better. Sometimes I like to purchase from smaller companies thinking they may be more invested in quality as opposed to a very large company like NOW Foods. Based on the quality control problems and the fact that NOW uses glass bottles instead of plastic, I will be purchasing NOW Foods from now on. Each contains the same two fatty acids, Caprylic Acid (C8:0) and Capric Acid (C10:0). Dr. F supposedly ONLY contains those two, while NOW does not specify but the other fatty acids are in very low quantities anyway so I don't think it matters much.

A lot of difference. When you're sick or want to avoid getting worse, you take a tablespoon. Know how many pills make a Tablespoon? Probably around 15. Not cost effective. Besides the liquid isn't bad tasting and really good if mixed with grape juice. And what is the capsule made of? Can the capsule become rancid?

Natural vitamin A and D. For more info: http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/clo-number-one-superfoodThese people seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this and some other aspects of nutrition: http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/clo-number-one-superfoodWeston Price prefers a fermented form of cod liver oil, but also recommends the Sonne's brand as being good and reputable. I take 1 tsp of this a day and it's made a huge difference in my skin and eyesight (nightblindness).

Seems pretty expensive for just one can. I just went to Napa, where I saw the same cans (14oz) for $2.99. And the Napa brand, which the guy claims to be the same thing, is just $2.50.

Look at the nutritional label for both. The 3 capsule serving is not comparable to the 1TB serving of the oil. You have to take way more than 3 capsules to get the same benefits contained in 1TB of the oil. Highly suggest going with the oil. If you mix it into smoothies like my mom does, you can't taste it.

I have been taking Omega-3 Fish Oil for about 6 years. The last 4 years I have stuck with Carlson's Super Omega-3. Initially, I could sense the fishy odor, especially with other brands. I have gotten use to the Carlson's Fish Oil and do not smell anything when swallowing. As an OTC nutritional supplement, Carlson seems to be a good buy. I only need 2 gel-caps per day to get my daily DHA and EPA requirement. Other OTC brands may need 3 or 4 capsules per day, and you may get more fishy burping.
