Re: other flavors fish oil

[Guest guest]

Pharmax fish oil is orange tasting. Pharmax also has a fish oil

called Berry Frutol which is supposed to be tasty. Good DHA/EPA

ratios and this brand is recommended by Dr. Jepson at Thoughtful

House.

I haven't opened our bottle yet (orange) but will do so next week.

We use the orange CLO. The kids take it well, unlike any other fish

oil and I can attest to it tasting better than the rest we have

tried.

I initially had trouble with the lemon. My daughter still has trouble

with citrus generally. On this board I hear a lot of people

say " because of his sensory issues he can't take... " I would

encourage you to question this further. It is very likely that these

kids, like me and my daughter, have a ph issue. I am pretty sure that

neither of us have the ability to produce enough stomach acids to

digest properly and that our digestion is generally messed up. Lemon

and other citrus burns the back of our throats. It is technically a

sensory issue but I think when we throw that term around we do not

recognize the physical pain involved. I may be wrong and we may

produce too much acid or have a citrus allergy generally. If so

strawberry would be no better.

I will tell you that for some reason both of us take Pharmax brand

without issue despite the orange in it. I am not using the typical

dose outlined here so if you want to you will have to make adjstments.
