Nature's Answer Liquid Omega-3 | Deep Sea Fish Oil with EPA/DHA Dietary Supplement | Cardiovascular Support | No Preservatives & Gluten-Free 16oz (Pack of 1)

With all of the benefits of omega 3 fats, finding a good fish oil might be a wise choice. I used to buy fish oil capsules (and cheap ones at that) at my local grocery, but one day, when I accidentally broke one of the capsules I discovered the most disgustingly smelly, rotten oil. This probably means that the oil was pretty oxidized. To be a healthful product, fish oil should not be oxidized (in fact, oxidized fish oil is probably worse than no fish oil). So I have no confidence that fish oil capsules contain good quality oil. So I turned to this liquid fish oil. Apparently all of these liquid fish oils contain citrus oil to cover any fishy odor/taste. And while citrus oils are extremely good at masking fish odors and taste, if a fish oil is badly oxidized, there is no covering that smell. I have more confidence that I have a good quality with liquid instead of capsules. I am not a lover of seafood, and any trace of fishy odor will cause me to gag. I can take Nature's Answer fish oil, and don't detect any fishiness at all. I will warn you though that you should clean up any surface that the oil touches, because after a period of several minutes you WILL start smelling some fish odor. This includes washing your hands, and carefully wiping off your lips after consuming the product. So while the fishy odor is much less in this product than in the capsules I was taking, it's not completely absent in liquid fish oils.After taking this oil for several days now, I can tell you that I detect a difference between this oil and the capsules I used to take. The Nature's Answer fish oil makes me feel calm after I take it. In fact, I have started taking it at bed time because it allows me to get to sleep more easily. I never had this same effect from fish oil capsules. In doing some internet research, this calming effect is a characteristic of omega 3 fatty acids, so I guess it wasn't just my imagination. Hmm, why didn't the capsules have this same effect?The real test for me will be to see whether my triglyceride level decreases while taking this oil; this is one of the main reasons I am taking an omega 3 supplement.

My first experience with this was awful. Then I figured out the trick! Don't give up until you try this or something similar lol.Pro's:Great price for the sizeGood size to keep in the fridge without running out of it too fast or taking up too much spaceIf you hate the flavor of plain oil, this is flavored so you may like this moreIf you are like most American's on the SAD (Standard American Diet) you are missing a lot of Omega-3's in your diet and probably need moreMinimal ingredientsCon's:My only suggestion would be for this to come with a pump or dropper so that you don't have to pour it out or transfer into another contain as that gets very messy since it is oil and runs and creates a huge messMy first experience with this was awful. I am used to taking a spoonful of coconut oil occasionally, and thought I could do the same with this. I was wrong! You may be fine, but this made me nauseated for hours afterwords and if I thought about the taste/texture going down for too long I could literally gag hours later. And this is coming from someone who cannot throw up without making myself no matter how sick, drunk, food poisoning or anything that I am, lol! I thought, OK, there has to be a better way. So the next morning, before drinking my butter/coconut oil coffee I decided to mix my dose into a small glass of water with my milk frother. IT WORKED GREAT! It dispersed it into the water long enough for me to drink it in two gulps, no problem. No awful texture, no gagging, it was perfect. This will be how I use it from now on, for certain and I suggest trying it if you plain to take it straight without mixing into a shake or anything.

Very good product

This fish oil is great. Most people look at me as if I have two heads when I say I take a liquid fish oil supplement; they go, "Ew. Don't you burp any of it back up?" I tell them that I do not. This fish oil has a pleasant taste of oranges; I typically put two teaspoons of fish oil per day in a mug and fill it with water and mix it. I take this primarily for asthma as well as its anti-inflammatory effects. WebMD has a good guide to measure your dosage. Since I have started taking this fish oil in the last three weeks, I've noticed a drop in my allergies/asthma issues as well as an increase in my exercise (running) performance--the amount of breathing issues I have has dropped.The brand of fish oil itself proves to be decent; I wish they had an organic version, though. Beats out Nordic Naturals liquid fish oil with regard to nutrient density and price by a long shot.Also, I was initially disappointed that the shipping would take long, as it is sold through a third party. However, it arrived quicker than the estimated arrival date and was packaged pretty well! Will be ordering from this third party through Amazon in the future!
