  • Premium Quality Fermented High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil, Capsules



Product Description

Many of the great historical cultures had one sacred food which they relied on to ensure strong mind, body, and spirit: Fermented fish/fish liver oil. The Mighty Roman Soldier was given a daily ration of fermented fish oil. The Stoic Scandinavian Viking had a drum of fermenting cod livers outside the door of his home. Grandma always had a bottle of cod liver oil in the back cupboard. Nutrient assays, including vitamins A and D, for our fermented oils vary widely depending on methodology, lab and batch. Current science struggles to answer the questions we have on our sacred fermented foods. There are many naturally occurring metabolites and co-factors that make the issue of measuring natural nutrients difficult in the fermented oils. We do know that historical cultures liberally consumed these sacred foods to great benefit without today's standardization of knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disgusting and expensive, but easier to swallow. October 18, 2011
Before I bought this I tried Green Pasture's Fermented Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil blend, in gel form. I have a really strong gag reflex and I just couldn't get it down.

I've read about the benefits of FCLO and Butter Oil, though, and I really wanted to be taking them, so I went ahead and ordered a bottle of orange flavor capsules, a bottle of unflavored capsules, and a bottle of butter oil capsules.

First of all, in case you don't realize, if you're taking capsules and you want to be taking 1 tsp per day (per WAPF guidelines), you need to take 8 of these capsules per day. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you need to be taking 16 capsules (2 tsp) per day. That means, if you want all of the benefits of FCLO, this bottle of 120 capsules will last you 7-15 days. If you can tolerate the flavor, the oil in liquid form is MUCH more economical.

So, here's my experience of these capsules: The capsules definitely are NOT odorless. When I take them, I wait until I'm eating something with a fairly strong flavor--lately, lasagna--then, I hold my breath, put three of these in my mouth, and drink water as quick as I can, and then immediately put a bite of food in my mouth. Sometimes I still gag on the capsules a little, and usually I taste the gross fish taste as they go down. Once in a while I have a fishy burp, which is absolutely disgusting. Overall, though, this process works for me, and I'm glad I've found a way to get the stuff down.

Compared to the orange flavored capsules: honestly, these unflavored ones have had a much milder flavor than the orange ones. The company claims that flavor really varies by batch, often just because of the fish's diet...that makes sense to me. So, I suspect I will continue to notice variation among different bottles. The color of the orange ones is a pretty golden orange, which looks much more appealing than the color of the unflavored ones; they are a really gross looking dark brown. If there is any orange flavor to the orange ones, I haven't noticed it, because they smells too much like fish.

I am also taking these with butter oil (in capsules). Happily, the butter oil pretty much has no flavor at all.

Someone else mentioned on the orange flavored capsules product page that Amazon was the cheapest they found this stuff. Actually, it isn't. Today, Amazon is charging $31/bottle. The manufacturer's website sells this for $30/bottle (if you order 1-5 products), or less if you order more products ($25 each if you order 6-11 products, and $22 if you order 12+ products). They do let you mix and match if you want to order the butter oil or something else to get a lower price.

So, in conclusion, this stuff is disgusting, but I believe that it is worth taking anyway. I've been taking it for about a week now, and I've already ordered my next batch. I ordered 3 more of the orange flavored ones, a bottle of the unflavored capsules, plus a bottle of the orange flavored liquid, and a bottle of butter oil liquid. The capsules have really helped me adjust to the flavor, and I am hoping to transition to liquids in the future, because this is expensive!

I highly recommend these capsules to anyone who had trouble taking non-capsules. These are MUCH easier to swallow.

These have kept away my season affective disorder this winter---that deserves 20 stars! I usually take one or two per day. They smell bad, but are tasteless and I've never had any "burps" from them--thank goodness!

1.0 out of 5 stars Selling Expired Product September 26, 2012
By Archana
Amazon Verified Purchase
Dear All,

The Seller gave us the expired product.The expiry date is 07/12 and the product was shipped on sep 20,2012. I urge buyers to be aware of this and be careful. I think it is probably better to buy from greenpasture company itself( one can google it and find the link of the website).

Amazon should remove these sellers ( Name: Cindi L Brooks ; Company: Wholesale Health Pros Storefront) as these bad apples spoil the reputation of amazon site.
