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

I’ve purchased this a a few times and the taste is great. It tastes like cinnamon butter, but it does have a hint of a fish aftertaste. Nothing like taking plain cod liver oil. The quality is great and comes highly recommended by Weston price.

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!

My baby loves this! I can always get him to take a spoonful even when he's refusing food. Good vitamins too. The smell and taste is a bit gnarly, I actually thought it was rancid at first, but I'm guessing that's the fermented part. I plan on reordering.

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.

Awesome product from a fantastic American company that supports the military and veterans. I got the cinnamon flavor, and while it definitely isn’t a great taste overall, it’s better than I expected fermented fish oil would taste or smell. Just take it straight with a gulp of liquid to wash it down—no fuss. DO NOT mix it with your oatmeal hoping it will become cinnamon oatmeal; trust me. I’m already feeling better in terms of brain fog, and I’m hoping it will help lower my blood pressure with longer use, as I’ve only been taking it for a week so far.

I got the cinnamon flavor hoping it would help mask the fishy taste for my toddler. He still makes a face and doesn’t like it (I don’t blame him, I tried some and it tastes awful) but he’ll still take it. It is better than unflavored.

I’ve been using this for a couple months now and hope the results are worth it. I’ve cracked the code on not getting that awful after taste! After taking your dose, wash it down with a few sips of milk. Works like a charm!

Yes met expectations
