Tasty Omega3

Is there any Omega3 capsule (or in any other form) that does not taste bad? My son used to take it but recently hates that. Thanks My daughter takes the nordic natural childrens and she does not mind the taste. We get a liquid and we mix it with orange juice. Nordic Naturals sells a strawberry flavored cod liver oil for kids (DHA Jr.) that has absolutely no fish flavor. They also sell one for adults in liquid and capsules. Not sure if the liquid is fishy, but I take either the strawberry or lemon CLO capsules and it tastes good. You can google Nordic Naturals and see the list of products on their website. We get the Nordic Natural DHA Junior. The capsules are tiny and chewable, and my son loves the strawberry taste. http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/products/fatty_acids/pro_dha/DHA_ JR.htm  I just purchased the Coromega packets and have been able to hide them in some peach yogurt that I give to my son. No fishy aftertaste, and the flavor from the creamy emulsion is strong "alone" but fine with the yogurt.I have not tried it yet but the director of a school for autistic children just told me about a new omega 3 called omega cure. It's pricey but supposed to be very good. www.omega-cure.com We use Barlean's brand CLO. It's super-purified and tastes great. No fishy taste at all. They add a natural lemonade flavor. My daughter actually reminds us to give it to her at bedtime if we forget! We found it at our local health food store for about $20. Here's the link: http://www.barleans.com/fishoil.asp
 I have just purchased a different Omega 3 product for my son.( didn't end up caring for the Coromega). It called Omega-Cure. (omega-cure.com) and its UNBELIEVABLE! Its a clear liquid and actually lives up to what it says... no flavor at all. I mixed it into my son's yogurt and he didn't know it was there. It tastes like Crisco Oil or that sort of oil. Its oily, but when added to something like yogurt and really mixed in, the oilyness completely went away. Also, a 2 teaspoon serving has 1000 mg EPA and 1000 mg DHA. Kids servings are only 1 teaspoon though. Just wanted everyone who was interested to know. (ps I bought the UNflavored oil). BeckyI got the capsule...kinda big, but no taste.
nordic naturals strawberry flavored are good and noah really likes them |
