Garden of Life Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil Lemon Mint -- 8 fl oz

Lemon Mint Flavor. Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil is the most natural and carefully tested cod liver oil available. The oil comes from the pure cold waters of Iceland and is cold-processed using traditional methods to ensure that all of the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and other Omega-3 essential fatty acids remain intact. Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil is the best source for natural levels of vitamins A and D. It is also a rich source of DHA, EPA and other essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Other cod liver oils remove the naturally occurring vitamin A and D during the deodorization process and then supplement the finished product with a synthetic form of these vitamins. Only Garden of Life's® Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil is undeodorized, unbleached and retains all of the naturally occurring vitamins A and D. The consumption of cod liver oil supports cardiovascular health and has been shown to improve cholesterol ratios. Additionally, cod liver oil is a rich source of the Omega-3 fatty acids proven to reduce the body's inflammation process and reverse joint damage. Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil is made with a pleasant tasting all-natural lemon mint flavor to eliminate the fishy aftertaste reminiscent of Grandma's cod liver oil. Related Links.

Good Flavor for Cod Liver Oil, October 12, 2009

"My children and I took Dr. Ron's high vitamin cod liver oil for several years, but more recently I've switched to this brand due to budget constraints. It's one of the only pure cod liver oils on the market that isn't molecularly distilled. The distillation process removes much of the precious vitamin A and D, which isn't reasonable in my opinion. While not quite as potent as the high vitamin CLO we were taking, this is a decent compromise, and the flavor is actually palatable."

"This product might be beneficial health-wise, but having to gag down a product to get that effect is not the way to do it.
I found this cod liver oil so fishy that I dreaded taking it every morning. There was NO lemon or mint flavor to it. To finally overcome the flavor I put a large sprig of mint in it which helped somewhat. I was very grateful to be finished with the product and I won't buy it again."

"Usually I supplement with Carlson's cod liver but thought I would give this brand a try. After a few days the taste is quite good. The mint flavor is a little different but does keep you from getting the after taste of fish oil. Overall it is a good product."

"I know this is a good brand, I trust Garden of Life products, however I tried to take this on several occasions and had REALLY weird side effects. I took this after dinner at night and each time I ended up waking up in the middle of the night with wild dreams and a really shakey feeling..like tremors. I have never experienced anything like it.. Also had a BAD headache in the morning. Has anyone else experienced this? I googled these symptoms to see if anyone else reported this, but could not find any results."

"But lemon mint or no, it's still fish oil. I take a tablespoon in the AM then quickly take a bite of hot cereal to get the taste out of my mouth. Same at dinner time. Once I forgot to have food handy, I swallowed and it wasn't unpleasant, but hardly enjoyable. I do sometimes have fishy burps, but what are you gonna do? Cod liver oil is supposed to be good for inflammation, so I'll keep taking it. I think I may be getting used to the taste a little bit after consuming nearly one bottle."
