5.0 out of 5 stars A great way for whole family to get Omega 3s!, December 1, 2007

I can't say enough good about the Coromega supplements! They taste great, leave no fishy aftertaste or burps, are packable and are even desireable to my toddler! WOW. Our family prefers the original orange (which has a cremsicle taste) -- but I also like the lemon-lime flavor for a change. The lemon-lime is a little tart but I like that. Overall, if you are new to coromega or trying to get your family to take it, I would start with the Orange (not the choc orange) because it is the most universally liked flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Omega-3 without the fish oil burps!, July 31, 2008

This review is from: Coromega Omega-3 Fish Oil, Lemon Lime, 90 ct (Health and Beauty)

A couple of years ago my optometrist advised that I take fish oil capsules on a daily basis to help ward off macular degeneration. For those who don't know, this is a condition that occurs when the macula (the area at the back of the retina that produces the sharpest vision) weakens over time.

There are many other benefits to fish oil, including being useful in the treatment of a number of forms of depression, and many physicians recommend it for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. But the problem for many is that they find the capsules to be intolerable for one reason: fish oil burps.

The Coromega Omega-3 Fish Oil, Lemon Lime seems to eliminate that problem for most. It's packaged in convenient daily dose pudding-like squeeze packets. I personally like the taste, but if one doesn't, they can easily be mixed with blended drinks or added to yogurt. These Coromega products contain top quality fish oil from deep, cold-water fish, which is said to be the best kind.

It should also be noted that low levels of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been connected to various forms of depression, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and Alzheimer's disease. Various studies have revealed that brains of Alzheimer's patients have 30 percent less DHA than brains of comparably aged people who do not have the disease.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness among older adults in the US, and is said to affect over 7 million individuals older than 40 years. The frequency of AMD is likely to increase as the population ages. There is currently no known way to prevent the condition, but research has begun to identify potentially modifiable risk factors and nutrient-based treatments. More info on this can be found here:

In any case, if your health care practitioner has suggested fish oil as a treatment, this product is a tasty alternative to the capsules. It can also be found in other flavors, such as Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor, Squeeze Packets, 90-Count Box and Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor with a Hint of Chocolate, 90 packets.

If you wish to read up a bit on the benefits of the fish oil supplements, you can try DHA: The Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acid by Remi Cooper, who explains it clearly in a 32-page booklet.

There are "good" and "bad" fats, and Omega-3 fatty acids are considered one of the "good" fats important for cellular, heart and metabolic health, along with being good for the eyes. DHA is one of those fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system, along with maintaining triglyceride levels already within a normal range.

So yes, for many of us there are healthy and tasty alternatives to the fish oil capsules... without the fish oil burps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yuck!, March 10, 2008

Let me be a little more direct than the other reviewers. The orange flavor Coromega is the best thing to come along since God invented fish. If there were 6 stars, I'd award it all six.

But I have no idea where the Coromega folks were coming from when they released the lemon/lime flavor. I think I'd rather eat raw fish like Gollum to get my Omega-3.

Thank goodness I bought only a very small quantity of the lemon/lime just to try it out. My wife refused to take any after trying one and, not wanting to throw money away, I was stuck with the rest of them. There are about three left as of this writing, and they're headed straight for the trash can.
