Average cod liver oil in smaller capsules
These come nicely packed with 2 cardboard boxes inside a cardboard sleeve. The size of the box means they will be easy to store in a cupboard. The capsules at 570mg each are smaller than many of the high strength capsules which are more commonly 1000mg so these are easier to swallow but means you need to take twice as many. The recommended dose is 2-4 a day. I would rather have fish oil capsules loose in a jar than in individually blisters as I think this is more wasteful, plus if you are taking 4 capsules it’s more time consuming to take 4 out of a blister pack.These work out cheaper per day than the current premium fish oil capsules I’m taking but they do not have nearly the same strength of EPA and DHA. 4 tablets (2,280mg) of these contains 240mg of DHA and 280mg of EPA. 2 tablets (2,000mg) of my current fish oil contains 500mg DHA and 1000mg EPA. For me it is worth paying a bit extra for the extra strength I am already currently using. However if you want a smaller pill, or lower amounts of EPA and DHA in a good quality product these could be a good option for you.One point to note is that the batch I have only have 9 months until expiry date when delivered so with 360 capsules to use that could tight if you are only taking 2 a day and don’t start taking the straight away.

Great Supplement To Boost Fatty Acids
I've used a few Healthspan products over the years and always find them to be great quality and this Cod Liver Oil is no exception.They arrive boxed with the tablets individually wrapped in blister packs. In this pack you get 2 boxes of 160 capsules (320 in total) that are small and extremely easy to swallow and with no fishy smell or taste. Dose wise, you are recommended to take 2-4 so this pack will last between 80-160 days depending on how many you take.I like that this has a good amount of fatty acids - including DHA and EPA which are the good bits of fish oil for maximum health benefits and seems to come from a sustainable source. At £12.79 (at time of reviewing) these are extremely well priced and work out at just under 4p per tablet. The expiry date on these is around 7 months so if only taking 2 per day will cut it close to the expiry date but there is plenty of time and if you take 3/4 daily, you will be well within the time frame. I'd certainly recommend these if looking to boost your fatty acids.

Nice small capsules, so easy to swallow
My dear old Mum used to swear by cod liver oil so when I got the opportunity to review these, I thought that I’d give them a try - the pack contains 360 capsules so I’ll be taking them for an extended period, 2 a day will be about 6 months worth. The pack that I received has an expiry date of April 2023, which is plenty.At the time of this review the 360 capsules would cost you £15.99, at 2 capsules a day that’s a daily cost of about 9 pence which is good value. I like it that the capsules are so small, I do tend to struggle with taking tablets and capsules so this is much better than trying to get one larger capsule down - and they’ve added a subtle citrus flavouring to help with any potential taste issues. I’ve not had any problems where they ‘repeat’ on me which I know is something that my Mum experienced.This is another good Healthspan product and I’m happy to recommend them.

Small dose per capsule, don't repeat
I took Health Span liquid St. Clements cod liver oil for years, principally as the quantity of EPA and DHA are stated as beneficial. Some cod liver oil supplements then changed to fish oil as it was said that cod liver oil could contain heavy metals such as mercury. Health Span market this as a heavily purified product, and it would be helpful if a statement about the absence (or otherwise) of heavy metals.These are small capsules that are easy to take and, the addition of citrus flavour, should reduce the taste of cod liver oil if they repeat. The dose is two to four capsules a day depending on whether heart, brain, eyes are targetted with a beneficial dose.Update 21 February 2022My wife doesn't like taking fish oil tablets as they repeat. She takes four of these each day and they haven't repeated.

6 months worth
You are getting here 360 capsules. The recommended daily intake is between two and four capsules so this will last you between three and six months. What’s interesting as they’ve added the citrus flavour to the product which makes it that little bit more pleasant to take. I like this company and their attention they pay to the quality ingredients with no unnecessary additions. At the current price of around £10 this is incredibly good value for money. Obviously this is a fish derived product but be aware that the capsules are made from gelatin if this is something you tend to avoid. You get an expiry date of Nine months from the time of ordering so there’s not too much time to use this product especially if you go for a lower daily amount.

Quality product
These come neatly packaged in two boxes, each containing four strips of capsules. At a recommended dosage of 2-4 daily they will last approximately 3-6 months. The ones I received had an expiry date with 8 months to run.The capsules are small and easily swallowed. The oil is sustainably sourced and is flavoured with citrus. The individual capsules have 60mg DHA and 70mg EPA so you need at least two daily to reap any benefit. We have taken similar products daily for a number of years.This is a quality product at a reasonable price and so is very recommendable.

Decent content
The content of these capsules is quite comprehensive. They appear to be well sourced. I didn't have any problems with swallowing any of these capsules which is good as I don't really like cod liver oil.
