Try lemon flavored |
Lemon flavored cod liver oil is one of the tastiest ways to take cod liver oil.
Traditionally, cod liver oil was taken 'straight' and this meant trying to stomach a very fishy-tasting liver oil.
Depending on when you were born, there was a time when Grandmothers and Mothers insisted their little ones take a daily dose of this strong tasting fish oil - which I'm sure many kids wish they didn't have to.
Thanks to advances in modern food science, you can now take flavored cod liver oils and avoid that nasty fish oil taste. And this makes it easier for children to take their daily dose of fish oil - much to the pleasure of many parents.
I've tried a number of lemon flavored fish oils and they're pretty tasty. One of the more popular brands is Carlson Laboratories Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. I've tried this brand and I couldn't taste any
fish flavor.
You can buy a variety of lemon flavored cod oils by different manufacturers. The majority are sold as liquid fish oils since this is where you obviously want the lemon flavor.
The lemon flavorings are usually made from lemon extract, however, there may be some cod liver oils that use synthetic flavorings so you should read the ingredient label to determine the source of the lemon flavoring.
You can also get these oils in capsule form. However, I don't see the purpose of this since you can't taste the fish oil - unless you're piercing open the capsule and pouring its contents out and then taking it.
If you're looking for this type of flavored cod liver oil, you could probably pick some up at your local health food store. You'll probably find a wide variety of different brands, dosages and prices.
Average prices for a 500 ml. bottle can run between $15 to $25; depending on the brand and where you buy it from.
A typical dosage is one teaspoon yields about 5 ml. of cod liver oil, so you could get about 100 servings from a 500 ml. bottle.
While there are a number of different brands of cod liver oil to choose from, here are the Top 3 Brands I would choose based on purity, omega 3 concentrations and brand trustworthiness:
Based on Customer Reviews alone, Carlson Labs Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is the sure-fire winner with over 150 customer reviews; many people were happy with the results they've achieved with this particular supplement.
You'll find the capsule form is always cheaper than the liquid filled bottles; however, you'll have to take more capsules to equal the dosage amount you could get from a single teaspoon of oil.
Cod liver oil is still a favorite for many people and this healthy oil is sure to be around for many generations to come.
