Green Pasture Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blended Gel - 6.4 oz.- Unflavored

Amazing product! No, it doesn't taste good, but more economical than the capsules. It has helped maintain my dental health and even helped stop tooth decay from progressing! Highly recommend!

This seller and this product both get a solid 5 stars.First of all, the customer service is absolutely fantastic. I did a dumb thing and forgot to update my current address, so the shipping info was wrong. Before i had a chance to go in and change it the next morning, this seller had already sent the package out (talk about fast). I entered in my change of address with USPS (literally had just moved and hadn't done any of this yet), but I still got a note from Amazon stating that shipping was halted and that the package could not be delivered. I asked for a refund, and was promptly and politely guaranteed said refund. Well, somehow the package still got to me, and 8 days earlier than the estimated delivery date! The package was intact, the glass bottle was very securely wrapped, and the product was as described. Needless to say I'm now a loyal customer!Now onto the actual cod liver oil (or gel). I need supplements because I'm a vegetarian (well truthfully, a pescatarian because I obviously eat fish) and a college student. What does this mean? It means I live off of cheap food that's easy to make and isn't good for me. I'm in nursing school and was creating a teaching plan for one of my patients. While trying to show the patient how to use My Fitness Pal for nutrition tracking, I caught a glimpse of my own MFP diary. Guess who's only getting 2% of the vitamin A she needs, but is telling her patients that they need to eat a more nutritious diet? That would be me. This is my first time trying any type of cod liver oil. It seemed like a no-brainer to me; it has Vitamin A, D, K2, plus Omega 3. Even though this seems like a hefty price to pay for one supplement, it's certainly reasonable considering that one quality bottle of any of those vitamins costs around $15--getting 4 vitamins packed into one bottle is worth the higher cost. The reason I chose fermented cod liver oil is because fermented seems to be the purest way to get these vitamins--most other cod liver oil companies use high amounts of heat in their processes, essentially destroying the vitamins naturally present in the CLO, meaning that they have to add synthetic vitamins back in at the end. I did a lot of research about which brand to go with, and found that Green Pasture seemed to be the way to go. I encourage you to do your own research too! FCLO is not for everyone (and if you have a question about it or have a health problem--especially cardiovascular issues--totally disregard this review and ask your doctor about it).As for the taste--I wasn't brave enough to try this right away. I bought the gel because it was more cost effective, but I was nervous. I plugged my nose, placed the oil at the back of my tongue to avoid torturing as many tastebuds as possible, and swallowed quickly with a swig of Diet Coke for a chaser. (Yes, I know Diet Coke is unhealthy. I know it's an oxymoron to take a health supplement with something like Diet Coke. I don't even care a little.) I bought the chocolate flavored one, and luckily the chocolate overpowers the fish IF YOU PLUG YOUR NOSE. You have to plug your nose. Don't test that--I'm the type of person that always has to touch a hot plate after a server warns me not to touch it--and of course I did that with the fish oil (I'm Irish and stubborn). Don't do that. Also, this oil sticks around in your mouth if you don't wash it down with something. Don't wash it down with water. That will do absolutely nothing for you. Get something acidic, like a carbonated beverage--even club soda. The acid/carbonation will help to break down the oil. Washing it down with Diet Coke completely took away any aftertaste. So in short--the chocolate flavor was a win, the taste and texture isn't bad at all if you plug your nose, and an acidic chaser helps with residue.So two thumbs up!

IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE, SCARED ABOUT HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD TURN AROUND THEIR TOOTH DECAY, BUY THIS STUFF. IT CHANGED MY DAUGHTER'S ORAL AND OVERALL HEALTH. THIS REALLY WORKS FOR TOOTH REMINERALIZATION! Before purchasing, I was scared, reading these reviews, wondering how I could help my child's oral health without drastic surgery. This stuff is amazing. Although it is pricey, after seeing how well it works I would pay double if I had to.I was told that my toddler would need $3000 worth of dental work, & that the procedure would require general anesthesia. I was floored. She ate very health, reduced sugar, mostly vegan/plant based. We didn't know the lack of minerals in her diet were causing such rapid tooth decay. I turned to the book "Curing Tooth Decay" and followed it closely but not perfectly. The book recommended this product specifically. Along with a diet change, her teeth have actually started regenerating, and more than one person has complemented me on her the health of her teeth. She does not complain of tooth pain at all. They are actually filling in the visible signs of tooth decay. We purchased two months ago, and have used about 3/4 of the bottle. The taste is not good. But she takes it like a champion. Don't hesitate. Make it happen. It really works.

Poor shipping from wellness brand I got a box full of broken glass and fish oil all over my floors once I opened the package, and can’t contact wellness brand to ask for a replacement.

I prefer getting nutrients from real food rather than a lab, and this is one of the best ones you can take. You get the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K, including K2) as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. None of these are truly obtainable from plants, which only provide precursors that the human body doesn’t convert in large enough amounts to be useful. There's also probably nutrients that we simply don't know about yet. I started this along with several other changes such as cutting out sugar & grains, so it's hard to tell what helped the most, but I find I'm now much more resilient to colds (including the Big C), and many annoying little health problems such as plantar fasciitis and cankersores disappeared. This is especially good for us older folks; I give it to my mother too, and she also has seen some similarly positive results.A tip for usability: keep this in the fridge. The solid form is easier to serve out and way less messy than the liquid oil, and also does a better job of hiding the taste of cod liver oil.Update: Unfortunately, this product is now shipped in a bag, not a box. As a result, it arrived broken. The seller does not accept returns. I was able to get Amazon to refund the purchase price, but they said they would only do that once. I ordered again thinking this was just a mistake, but it again came in a bag (not broken fortunately). So, unfortunately I can no longer buy this product on Amazon - I get it directly from the manufacturer instead.

I tried the cinnamon flavor first and found it a bit spicy on the back of my throat, so I decided to give the chocolate a shot next. It was to my detriment, as the cinnamon at least masked the inherent fishiness of this oil. The chocolate flavor and texture starts out smooth and pleasant for all of about one second, until the fishy aftertaste hits. I can't stand it, and I can barely make myself gag it down with a drink of water and breathing through my mouth while I eat something else to replace the flavor as quickly as possible.As far as the product itself goes, I have had no complaints, but this particular flavor is not for me at all. I've learned my lesson and I'll stick with the cinnamon.
