I have a hard time swallowing oil straight... Any suggestions on other ways to take it daily without destroying the benefits of the nutrients?

You cant destroy the nutrients just by eating something or drinking something else with the oil. Applesauce , honey, lemon even yogart help mask the taste. If its the oilness that bothers you . Just a suggestion.

This has a nice flavor compared to some other oils. Hopefully you won't have any trouble.

No, not when compared with other fish oils out there. Just take with food as directed and it won't have any.

Hey Gail, Flexacil are smaller than many multi-vitamins & fish oil supplements. Plus they're capsules, which slide down easily. I don't think you'll have any problems swallowing them :) Hope this helps!

Hi Sara, I don't recommend straight oils for you face. You can mix it in recipes for face cream, but not full strength . Oils can burn. On line there are some really nice recipes for your skin that you can mix yourself. Look under Herbal recipes.

Yes, Nicole this would work nicely. I dissolve it in water and drink it every day, It has lots of nutrients!! Judy

As I sometimes have difficulty swallowing large pills, I ordered these. I have been chewing them, consuming the fish oil and then discarding the masticated gel remains. The flavor is not bad, similar to the lemon-flavored fish oil liquid Carlson sells.

I prefer 1 -2 Tablespoons per day!! I can notice that I feel more energy and less nose stuffiness! Good luck.

MSM is used by many people with crèmes or butters for application to skin. There should not be any reason why you could not use oil. If you are using it externally it will be taken up through the skin. Make sure the oil is one that works well with uptake. If you use it internally, drinking it in juice or water is just fine. My family uses it every day. It is natural and water soluble and the body uses what it needs the rest excretes.

The oil you take a tablespoon everyday the pools you can take 6-9 a day! I prefer the oil, in my opinion it works better and is quicker. Lots of people don't like the taste of the oil. I only like the pills when I travel.

Actually, a lot of people like to chew on fish oil/cod liver oil pills instead of swallow them. The lemon flavor is actually pretty nice for that. I don't chew it, but the lemon flavor is nice for the, erm, burps afterward.... Gross, sorry.

Use the scoop in the product. To b honest with you, this product did not work at all for me. The taste was horrific and the texture was unbearable plus the smell? Oh la la....,if you wanna gain weight, I recommend increasing your daily consumption with healthy foods of course, getting more sleep and rest and exercise. Worked for me! Went from 105 to 145. Now trying to lose ten pounds lol. Good luck with your weight gain.

Bite or cut a pill open and taste the oil. If if tastes fishy, it is rancid. I buy this brand specifically because it is not rancid, so no, that is not normal.

Oil soluble nutrients are usually recommended to be taken with food; water soluble nutrients are usually recommended to be taken with water; Vitamin K2-MK7 is an oil soluble nutrient; wherefore, it us usually recommended to be taken with food. However, I usually take it along with vitamin D3 and vitamin A and a swallow or two of soda water. I have been doing so for 4 years and I have had no difficulty with digestion of the nutrients at all. This product is in a dry form, which I prefer because I don't like taking supplements in oils (they add too much excess oils to the diet). If I was concerned I would probably eat an apple, orange or banana or drink a glass of juice with the vitamins.

Mfg. info does not address this. I use Canola oil which is healthy and only use 2/3 what they suggest. Product is fantastic!!!!

I think the bottle recommends having it with a fatty food or meal. This is NOT ubiquinone. It is ubiquinol, the form recommended for adults (over 40?). It's more easily absorbed. I take it at the same time I take my fish oil. For other daily doses, I make sure I have a cracker with almond butter or a piece of cheese. The bottle sayd: "We highly recommend taking this product with a source of essential fatty acids such as NOW flax oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Oil, or Omega-2 Fish Oil."
