 Not tasty but no hint of fish taste Jul 25, 2010
This is probably as tasty as fish oil can get. You can't taste or smell the fish at all. That is not to say it tastes like fresh squeezed orange juice or anything, but given the flavor they are covering up it is probably the best that can be done. It is kind of an oily paste the consistency of toothpaste. That consistency is not all that pleasant, but at least the packets are small (2g) so there is not much to eat. I keep it in the fridge and eat it cold rather than at room temp. It seems better that way.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR DRY SKIN & DEPRESSION Jul 22, 2010
This is a wonderful product. I've used it for several years since I have a hard time swallowing pills and can't stand the fishy taste of other products. My husband dislikes the fishy taste of omega-3 even moreso and I finally got him to agree to use it. Now that he's on board, he reminds me to take my "guppies"! Ha! But seriously, this is great. It helps my mood tremendously (along with vitamin D) and within 3 days of taking it I noticed my extremely dry skin is smooth and supple. It's been amazing actually. If I forget to take it for a few days, my same old dry skin comes back. I recently saw in the national news that Omega 3 has shown to be very promising for schizophrenia, which can be very hard to keep under control because your body gets used to the medications and then they have to try new ones all the time. I recommended it someone I know who has it and they saw great improvement, so I was extremely happy for them. It has so many other benefits too, but I make sure I'm getting it on sale for no more than twenty one...People with health conditions that take Cox-2 inhibitors need to discuss with their doctors before taking because this is a natural Cox-2 inhibitor and you may get too much. However, if you have a good dr. they may be open to letting you wean yourself off the drugs and see if this works for you instead. Also, check with your dr. if you are on blood thinners or have heart failure. It may not be right for everyone.
Use for dog with lupus Jul 09, 2010
The vet prescribed Omega-3 for our German Shepard that has a form of lupus. We initially could get type of product in a bottle with a pump, but it was discontinued. I would have liked to have continued to get this style, but I have been unable to find it. These packets are a good alternative. Dog seems to like (mixed with food). I tried it myself and it does have a good orange flavor.
 Unpleasant taste, but a good source of omega-3 oils Jul 08, 2010
When I eat a packet of this oil, the first taste that hits me is an unpleasant bitterness. Then a thick, overpoweringly artificial "orange" flavor. Then the sweetness comes on, but it too is overpowering--it does take away the bitterness but it's so strong it's unpleasant in its own way. The aftertaste is the artificial orange and a slight bitterness, but it disappears very quickly if you eat or drink anything (which can't be said of fish oil!)
I will still be buying this because I believe it's a quality form of omega-3 oils, but I could not call it delicious by any stretch.
Cons: Tastes bad: Too bitter, too sweet, heavy "artificial orange" taste
Pros: Quality blend of absorbable omega-3 oils, tastes less unpleasant than plain fish oil (with no "fishy" taste), convenient single-serving packets, and though the taste is unpleasant it is quickly and easily removed with food or water (unlike regular fish oil, which tends to linger.)
