Product Description
Many of the great historical cultures had one sacred food which they relied on to ensure strong mind, body, and spirit: Fermented fish/fish liver oil. The Mighty Roman Soldier was given a daily ration of fermented fish oil. The Stoic Scandinavian Viking had a drum of fermenting cod livers outside the door of his home. Grandma always had a bottle of cod liver oil in the back cupboard. Nutrient assays, including vitamins A and D, for our fermented oils vary widely depending on methodology, lab and batch. Current science struggles to answer the questions we have on our sacred fermented foods. There are many naturally occurring metabolites and co-factors that make the issue of measuring natural nutrients difficult in the fermented oils. We do know that historical cultures liberally consumed these sacred foods to great benefit without today's standardization of knowledge.

I ordered this for both my family and I and will continue to buy it. All of the other brands on the market (that I have found) are NOT fermented. This fermented brand of CLO has not been heated in the manufacturing process as it is made the way it has been done in traditional civilizations for hundreds/thousands of years. (Check out what the Weston Price Foundation says about fermented CLO as that is how I learned about it) Other CLO's have been heated, destroying many of the life-giving properties in the process.I wish the other reviewer (who had gotten diarrhea from it and said they were switching back to Carlson's brand) would have continued using it because I believe the diarrhea would have stopped within a few days. I had the same experience when I first used fermented CLO, but it only lasted about 3 days. After that, I never had it again. I am guessing that the diarrhea was simply the result of the fermented CLO having a cleansing effect on the body because fermented CLO is MUCH different from regular CLO and is so much better nutritionally. Once I found out about the heat process involved with regular CLO's (including Carlson's brand as their CLO is not fermented) I felt it was a waste of money to ever buy regular CLO again, no matter the brand.Also, the orange flavor really isn't that bad at all. The no-flavor kind is the worst, but even my 13 year old daughter took that well. I mean, she didn't like it, but it's not like you have to chew it, or eat it, as that would be REALLY nasty. It is a capsule, so when you throw it in your mouth you get a whiff and slight taste of it in the split second before washing it down. But if my picky daughter (who gets grossed out pretty easily) can do it, anyone can do it.Make sure you also take butter oil capsules with it. I have read, and been told, that you need both simultaneously to get the benefit. I did not know this when I first started taking it, so I (supposedly) wasted all of my doses for a while. Now I take this along with the butter oil. If anyone is still confused, just go online and google the information...find the answers for yourself if that helps. :)

Before I bought this I tried Green Pasture's Fermented Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil blend, in gel form. I have a really strong gag reflex and I just couldn't get it down.I've read about the benefits of FCLO and Butter Oil, though, and I really wanted to be taking them, so I went ahead and ordered a bottle of orange flavor capsules, a bottle of unflavored capsules, and a bottle of butter oil capsules.First of all, in case you don't realize, if you're taking capsules and you want to be taking 1 tsp per day (per WAPF guidelines), you need to take 8 of these capsules per day. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you need to be taking 16 capsules (2 tsp) per day. That means, if you want all of the benefits of FCLO, this bottle of 120 capsules will last you 7-15 days. If you can tolerate the flavor, the oil in liquid form is MUCH more economical.So, on to my experience of these capsules: they are really disgusting. If there is any orange flavor to it, I haven't noticed it, because it smells too much like fish. The capsules definitely are NOT odorless. When I take them, I wait until I'm eating something with a fairly strong flavor--lately, lasagna--then, I hold my breath, put three of these in my mouth, and drink water as quick as I can, and then immediately put a bite of food in my mouth. Sometimes I still gag on the capsules a little, and usually I taste the gross fish taste as they go down. Once in a while I have a fishy burp, which is absolutely disgusting. Overall, though, this process works for me, and I'm glad I've found a way to get the stuff down.Compared to the unflavored capsules: honestly, these orange ones have had a much stronger gross fish flavor. The company claims that flavor really varies by batch, often just because of the fish's diet...that makes sense to me. So, I suspect I will continue to notice variation among different bottles. The color of these orange ones is a pretty golden orange, which looks much more appealing than the color of the unflavored ones; those are a really gross looking dark brown.I am also taking these with butter oil (in capsules). Happily, the butter oil pretty much has no flavor at all.Someone else mentioned Amazon was the cheapest they found this stuff. Actually, it isn't. Today, Amazon is charging $31/bottle. The manufacturer's website sells this for $30/bottle (if you order 1-5 products), or less if you order more products ($25 each if you order 6-11 products, and $22 if you order 12+ products). They do let you mix and match if you want to order the butter oil or something else to get a lower price.So, in conclusion, this stuff is disgusting, but I believe that it is worth taking anyway. I've been taking it for about a week now, and I've already ordered my next batch. I ordered 3 more of these orange flavored ones, plus a bottle of the orange flavored liquid, and a bottle of butter oil liquid. The capsules have really helped me adjust to the flavor, and I am hoping to transition to liquids in the future, because this is expensive!I highly recommend these capsules to anyone who had trouble taking non-capsules. These are easier to swallow.

Green Pasture Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil - Orange Flavor actually does have an orange flavor. It doesn't completely hide the cod liver oil flavor. But it's enough so that it's palatible. My accupuncturist highly recommends this product. It's the only one she will use herself & recommend to her patients. I trust her recommendations. Also, Amazon was the best priced site for this product.
