You require Omega 3 and Vitamin A all of the time. Your product certainly causes dosage problems. Yes you should only take 2 mls of it, and you will need a fish oil that contains only Omega 3 (EPA & DHA) and also vitamin A from a fish " liver " oil that doesn't contain vitamin D like halibut, cod or shark.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello again, Bee. Do you have any brand recommendation for the Omega 3 and the vitamin A? As per your article, I could go back to the non-fermented CLO from Green pasture (but I heard they do not make High-vitamin CLO anymore, do you know if this is true?) and the vitamin A, no need for additional EPA and DHA, right? Can I ask you again what you take (brand and amount) since we live in similar climatic conditions? Thank you so much, Bee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is getting more and more difficult to find oil soluble supplements that do not contain soy. +++NOW brand Shark Liver Oil with only Vit. A., available at www.vitaglo.com Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 You're awesome, Bee! Thank you very much for your amazing help and support! I am already feeling better and I am so blessed to have found your program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Bee, does the Garden of Life brand lemon flavored cod liver oil just have a lemony oil taste? Does it taste " fishy " at all? I was just wondering, as I use Carlson's lemon flavored cod liver oil, and it has no fishy taste whatsoever, but I was thinking of trying a different one, in case it's less expensive. Thank you, -----Original Message----- +++I take 2 tbls. of Garden of Life brand Lemon Flavoured Cod Liver Oil, which contains all 3 nutrients (Omega 3, and Vitamins A & D) since it is Winter here.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 , There seems to be many brands that have a lemon flavor (Garden of life seems to be making only the lemon-mint flavor now). Here is what I found on iherb.com: http://www.iherb.com/Search.aspx?kw=cold%20liver%20oil%20lemon%20flavor We would probably have to do the maths for each of the brand, but there is a significant price difference and I was wondering if someone already compared them all. Ideally, I would like to now have to take extra A and extra Omega-3, just so it's less supplements to take and to buy, but 2 tablespoon of cod liver oil is a lot to get into myself without gagging! Thanks for your input! > Hi Bee, does the Garden of Life brand lemon flavored cod liver oil just have > a lemony oil taste? Does it taste " fishy " at all?

I don't find Garden of Life CLO taste fishy at all. It's the only one they produce. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 ++++ There is a comparison sheet already on Bee's website. Just search cod liver oil and you'll find it. It shows the dosing of different brands: some you have to take a Tablespoon others you can take a teaspoon, and some need more Vit A supplementation than others. You can see from the list that some brands will lst longer than others because you can take less of them.
