Five Star Reviews: | 70% Five Stars June 20, 2016 Great product. On time. I think I'll finally be immortal by the end of my second bottle. love IT!!!! October 29, 2013 It is the best for overall health!!! I Know I sleep better when am taking my COD LIVER!!! My skin is also alot less dry!! | 73% good product February 8, 2016 The taste isn't to bad but it's not good either. But the health benefits are worth it. The taste goes away quickly. I took it one night with acidopholus and that was a mistake and that didn't seem to mix well then I read to take it on an empty stomach. My dad used to make us take cod liver oil when I was young. It makes your eyes clear, hair shiny and generally lubes your whole system if you take it regularly. Great for SAD! January 7, 2016 This is a great product! I started taking it last winter to see if it would help with my depression that would get even worse in the winter months. I started out with 1 t. a day, but that wasn't enough. I bumped it up to 2t. and saw dramatic results in how I felt. I started feeling happy again! I did lower the dose down to 1t again after a couple months as I started to not sleep as well. Fixed the sleeping problem! I quit in the summer months with no recurrence of depression and am taking it again this winter to prevent future problems. It does taste fishy, but it is worth it. It's all about the vitamin D November 30, 2015 Many people recommend cod liver oil as a source of vitamin D. Unfortunately, times have changed, and most brands of fish oil are processed (to remove the fishy taste) in a way that destroys most of the vitamin D. Sonne does this one the old fashioned way, and the vitamin D is intact. I don't find the taste bad at all, and I'm very glad to have a good source for natural vitamin D. I want to do the best for my family but I can't always afford $50-$60 ... February 15, 2015 My toddler and myself take this cod liver oil. This is actually my second bottle. We take it for the Vitamin D (we live in Vermont) and omega 3 (we don't eat much fish) benefits.We prefer Sonne's because it is one of the purest forms of cod liver oil available without being so crazy $$$. I want to do the best for my family but I can't always afford $50-$60 a month.We each take about a 1 tbsp each 3-4x a week in about 3 tbsp of pure 100% fruit juice. We mix it in a small glass because that is the easiest to clean. It goes straight in the dishwasher. I don't like to get the oil on my sponge because it might transfer onto other things I wash. There is no way I can take this straight.. it is far too pungent. My toddler is such a trooper and will take it very quickly as long as I mix it with juice. I attached a picture of her taking her "medicine juice" quickly.. the goggles are just a bonus.. not required to take the cod liver oil haha.If this gets on your clothes or skin.. best take a bath immediately. You will smell like fish for a long time. If it gets on your clothes make sure to soak the stain in some dish or laundry detergent and then wash a couple of times at least. That being said this is our SECOND bottle and we will continue to repurchase many times.The most apparent health benefit I've noticed is our skin and NAILS. My nails used to split and peel like crazy and ever since I started taking cod liver oil no more! My hair and nails grow like crazy and are so strong and healthy. Great company, great product! March 29, 2014 My son takes it by the spoonful! If you need help take a spoonful of raw honey to coat your mouth then take a sip of water, tilt back your head, then pour right into your mouth for 1-2 seconds. and just be sure to drink plenty of milk afterwards because this NEEDS to be taken with a fat to gain full effects as well as to keep that funky flavor coming back later. I recommend this for people as young as 6 months old. If you need more vitamin A-D just add grass fed beef liver, shellfish, and raw milk butter to your diet! Good luck! Great Source of Vit A / Vit D + DHA / EPA June 8, 2013 After scouring the web, and reserching this, realized that 90% of CLO products during processing destory valuable Vit A / Vit D, and all then re-add synthetic Vit A and Vit D to their final product.Carlson, Twin Labs, Nordic Naturals, Barleans -- they all add synthetic Vit A / D.If I wanted synthetic vitamins, I could just pop pills.According to the expert, Weston Price, their highest recommended product is a overly pricey fermented product.As a Norwegian myself, my grandfathet said they the Scandinavians (where CLO originally came from), NEVER ferments the COD LIVER to make CLO.They use a natural process which has been passed down for generations. going back to Eric the Red and the Vikings.Currently, nobody has such a product.This Sonne's CLO is currently the closest I could find. They have been making this since 1946.Also, according to Weston Price, he said you need "butter" combined with CLO to get "any" benefit. Hogwash.My ancestors I assure you did noy combine their Cod Liver Oil with Butter in Norway.They all come from the North where sun is limited, and CLO gave them all the Vit A and Vit D they needed for living in such a Northern Climate.This product is top notch and the best I could find, with a price we all can live with. |
Four Star Reviews: | 12% Good Quality, not to fishy. June 16, 2015 These are better than taking the oil from a spoon! They are a bit fishy, but easy to take. Thank goodness for capsules January 5, 2015 Excellent manner to take cod liver oil. I do not really understand the fermented part, but from what I read that is the best formulation. | 17% For me I wish it was not the case because I liked the product otherwise and DO NOT want synthetic vitamins August 18, 2016 I hear on forums that they add synthetic vitamins into this to get the levels up to what the label states. I did not personally confirm with the company. For me I wish it was not the case because I liked the product otherwise and DO NOT want synthetic vitamins. like licking a freshly fried mackerel November 18, 2015 My boyfriend has a big ol' cavity on one of his molars, and it will be a while before we can get it fixed. Within minutes of taking this, his tooth pain was reportedly gone, but came back if he didn't take this oil for a couple of days.It tastes very fishy, like licking a freshly fried mackerel. But I suppose that's to be expected. It still tastes better than a lot of medicines.A lot of the flavored brands are just plain cod liver oil, plus some lemon or orange essential oils. For that reason, we bought this one for half the price, and added our own flavorings. Easy To Take CLO October 31, 2015 It is hard to give CLO a "love it" 5 star review but I like it better than lemon flavored brands of CLO. It is easy to take, basically tasteless and contains my Vitamin D and Vitamin A in as natural a way as I can find.When I found out that most Vitamin D is from lanolin I decided to find a real cod liver oil and this is the real thing. I highly recommend it. like this stuff June 23, 2014 I have taken cod liver oil for years, and I really like this stuff. It is fishier than Carlson brand but I don't mind that. Took a long time to receive the product though:( Natural cod liver oil March 22, 2014 This cod liver oil is completely natural and tastes great. High in vitamins A and D. Great for cardiovascular health, joints, teeth, skin, hair and eyes. Omega 3 fatty acids are very important. Good product, but my kids didn't like the taste December 15, 2013 Great product. Arrived within the time frame. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because my kids do not like the taste. Just a little too much of a fish flavor. Not bad for an adult but for little one's (7, 5, 2) they didn't even like to drink it when I would pair it with juice; which is kind of a treat at our house :) So we will go back to Carlson's lemon flavored cod liver oil. They didn't mind drinking that brand (also paired with a little juice of their choice, pink lemonade). Just my two cents :) |
Three Star Reviews: | 5% I didn't expect the oil inside the capsules to be ... February 15, 2017 I didn't expect the oil inside the capsules to be brown and solidified but I figured that they were still ok. I think the capsules have something to do with my nails being healthy. They are a lot stronger than usual and as a result I am able to retain length. I hope they will have a positive impact on my teeth, skin and hair. I just want confirmation as it relates to the expected appearance. I bought these capsules after hearing great things about them from friends June 13, 2016 I bought these capsules after hearing great things about them from friends. Little did a realize that the capsules are extremely cost prohibitive given the recommended dosage. A much better option is to buy the FCLO outside of the capsules and take with a spoon. Blue Ice Royal Butter Oil / Fermented Cod Liver March 17, 2016 The taste is really strong and smell, my teenagers are sued to nasty health foods but i have had a hard time getting them to take these and they aren't cheap :( I'd go with a flavored one next time. Used the bottle, can't tell if there is a difference May 17, 2015 I've taken the whole bottle and can't tell any difference from the regular unfermented $20 bottle of fish oil I was taking before. Ordering a bottle of the regular fermented fish oil they offer since it's cheaper, and seeing if I can tell the difference using that from this. good product April 8, 2013 this product was great for my hair and skin, but it did make me break out a lil more than usual with acne. i have oily skin though so that may be why. i got it originally for hair loss reasons, but it ended up just making my skin softer and smoother. hmmm, not complaining just not what i had hoped or intended it would be good for. oh well. all in all it is worth trying. it did make my hair softer after all.=) | 5% watered down? January 11, 2017 tasted a bit watered down compared to some other brands I have purchased Plastic lid pieces in my oil... March 3, 2016 Quality is okay, as far as I know, since I'm no expert on cod liver oil... Tastes like it's supposed to, it seems.My issue was with the Styrofoam, plastic-lined lid... The plastic underneath, maybe because it was in contact with oil, came off into the container; I can see pieces of it floating around. I have already used a few teaspoons of it and it's not a huge deal, but I'm still contemplating on returning it. Not bad tasting. November 1, 2015 Cod liver oil is supposed to have vit d. and other benefits. The taste was not bad. However, I decided to stop taking it when I read that Cod liver oil may suppress thyroid function because it is an unstable oil that goes rancid quick. That is no fault of the manufacturer though. What attracted me to this product was the purity of ... October 25, 2014 What attracted me to this product was the purity of the ingredients and the price. However, it has a strong, lingering fishy taste that makes me reluctant to take it. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to switch back to one of the more expensive, flavored cod liver oils. Cod liver oil is a small intestine laxative-ouch March 15, 2014 Bought cod liver oil because I read that this a good source of vitamin D, plus can aid in overall balance.Once I took it this, I experienced painful stomach cramps. I asked a friend of mine who is a nurse and she told me, cod liver oil is a small intestine laxative. Needless to say, I won't be using this anymore. Plus the fishy taste is out of this world-yuk. Usually I can handle anything, but this packs a punch not even I can take.I am not saying its the brand because I am sure Sonne's makes good products, plus cod liver oil has its benefits. The only reason I am giving it three stars is because I cant take this anymore. |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% If you can get past the taste & smell.... July 24, 2016 These are highly recommended by so many people, but YUCK - just opening the bottle made me gag. Trying to swallowed them was horrific. The fish burps afterwards were unpleasant. I've heard if you freeze them, it'll help, but it didn't work for me. Don't feel like it did anything and the pills taste like low ... August 21, 2015 Bought this to help boost testosterone naturally as part of the Tim Feriss plan. Don't feel like it did anything and the pills taste like low tide at the pier. It's also extremely expensive. Cannot recommend. but the recommended dosage is 4 capsules November 23, 2014 These work, but the recommended dosage is 4 capsules. The taste is terrible, and I had a really hard time getting them down. I have switched to the cinnamon tingle gel and that is better. I think I might rather have the cod liver oil in flavored capsules separate from the butter oil, that way the flavor would be less of an issue and only 2 capsules. Maybe I am a weenie, but this just did not work for me. This bottle was ransid September 12, 2013 I take this everyday, but for some reason this purchase was awful, bad after taste, even smelled bad. I store in the freezer for this reason, the capsules don't even look the same as my last bottle. I was really disappointed. it's very expensive and I would hope there would be more consistency. | 1% |
One Star Reviews: | 9% Very disappointed July 20, 2015 The package was dented and it was expired a couple weeks later. I spent a lot of money on this product and now it is worthless. Did not work for me, have to send it ... March 21, 2015 Did not work for me, have to send it back. The side affects were too much for me: stomach cramps, jaw pain, ear aches and my teeth hurt. I also got a metal taste in my mouth. Saw no changes... May 20, 2014 Not only is this product expensive, but I saw no changes in my acne or health at all after one bottle. Worried about integrity of product January 7, 2014 I understand from other comments that if your pills are yellow colored and not dark brown, then they don't contain any cod liver oil. Well, mine are yellow and I'm very annoyed that I'm being ripped off like this. It was also very disconcerting when I opened the bottle and the 'for your protection' seal popped off by itself from the pressure of pulling off the cap. I don't even want to try taking these pills because 1) they're not the right product and 2) I'm suspicious that they've been tampered with. I will be returning these and order directly from Green Pastures instead. | 4% This and the Calphonite stopped the pain in my neighbor's ... September 4, 2014 This and the Calphonite stopped the pain in my neighbor's legs but did not have the same effect on me. |
