CLO capsules recommendation

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I asked a while back how y'all got your kids to take clo and got some good suggestions. But i decided that I would just get some capsules for myself from the local health food store and find something for the kids later, I'm pregnant. Well, when they saw me taking them, they got curious so I let them have one and they loved it! My oldest said he didn't like the taste but he'd take it anyway. Go figure! I think they just like to chew the capsule. They chew it a long time and then spit it out. But it works and they take it so I'm happy.

I had gotten Carsons because that was what was available. But we are almost out and before I get more i wanted to ask if there is something better. I am sure these are mediocre in quality but better than nothing. The selection was nonexsistent at the store but is overwhelming online.

Any help?
Thanks!

Green Pastures fermented CLO seems to be the top pick around these parts: http://www.greenpasture.org/retail/?t=products&a=line&i=fermented-cod-liver-oil

It comes in capsules or as a liquid.  There are a few old threads that talk about how they taste:

I'm pregnant too, and actually I've heard good things about Carlson's vitamins (though I realize they are probably using farmed fish to make their capsules). I am taking their salmon oil capsules (and frankly they belch! ugh).  We've tried fermented CLO in liquid form from Blue Ice, which is also an excellent company, but I can't stand the taste.  Not sure if they make capsules though.  

 

Hey, do you know whether there are any natural food threads for pregnant women in the forum?  I'd love to have some like-minded women to chat with, especially since cooking is less appealing to me these days.

I'm pregnant (9 weeks) and I use Green Pasture's Blue Ice CLO as well as Garden of Life CLO and sometimes when I order it I use Premier Labs CLO. Never used CLO in capsules though.

 

I give my kids Nordic Natural's peach flavored CLO and no complaints.

 

Cooking is not appealing to me either these days.
