Lemon flavor too strong for me
I've tried three different varieties, and this was the worst because the lemon flavor is overpowering. It's just too much. I almost would rather throw it away than finish it, to be honest. With that said, if you're looking for something that hides the fishy taste, this is the perfect product for you.<br /><br />The question is, Does it work? I have no idea since there is no obvious effect for me. By contrast [[ASIN:B003IVTCAM Green Pastures Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil ~ Oslo Orange ~ 8 Fl. oz (237 ml) Bottle = 118 Servings]] gives me a very noticeable boost in energy and mood (so, best take it in the morning), and I'm not the only one who seems to notice a boost in libido as well. The energy boost is so apparent that I cannot take it at night, or it will interfere with my sleep.<br /><br />This Carlson oil may completely hide the fishy taste, but I feel nothing when I take it. It might as well be olive oil. It has been stripped of its A and D vitamins, unlike the product I just mentioned. I don't know what other processing Carlson does, but I believe the full potency of fish oil is best kept if the product is not overly processed. The fermented fish oil has been the best fish oil I've ever tried, even though it tastes the most like fish. I just remind myself that I'm buying this for the health effects, not for the pleasant taste.<br /><br />I've also tried [[ASIN:B001G7QEP6 Twinlab Norwegian Cod Liver Oil, Unflavored, 12 Fluid Ounce]], and it was the same as Carlson's but without the overpowering lemon flavor. No noticeable effect.<br /><br />I'm not sure if I can recommend this product. Sure, it tastes very lemony, but how do you know it's working if you feel nothing? I will take the fermented fish oil any day, and deal with the fishy taste. I'm sure I'm one of the few here to say so, but for real results, I would take the fishy taste over this strong lemon flavored product.
