It tastes mild, not very strong cherry, but the good news is it does not taste like fish at all, almost like no flavored oil, I know that's hard to explain but it tastes almost like nothing because it's that fresh. Pretty cool huh?Very cool. 🙂
I'm picking some on up my way home from work. Is there any way I can carry it around? For when I go out and such. It's pretty simple with the capsules, but liquid doesn't really give us that luxury. 😀
Sadly it cannot be carried out, unless you want to put an ice box in your car or work haha. But once a morning and night should be plenty I am assuming. do 1 and a half teaspoon morning and 1 and a half at night 🙂 If that suits you better.
I don't eat in the morning, would it be ok to take it alone?

Yup! Pretty cool isn't it? Taking it with food is a plus, but not a necessity.
Dude, awesome. I took a spoon and a half this morning. I was expecting to get an upset stomach, but I'm all good. 
One more thing, probably has little to do with the actual cod liver oil. How do you pour without spilling? o.O Serious, that stuff spills all of me.
I was taking 4.8 grams before with the capsules. You said 3 spoon fulls of this should be enough correct?
What's this soy bean crap?How can i avoid this when taking the pills? Every pill has this soy?
I can't take soy, i won't let them destroy my testosterone
Most pills use soy as a filler. Probably the only way to truly avoid it is to get liquid.
Oh damn. Get liquid would be a big trouble, doesnt have a way to know if there isn't soy?

You know when you get cough syrup and they have those measuring cups? I take one of those and keep it on top of my cod liver oil, so I pour it in there, 5 ml 🙂 Not even one drop spilled, so that's good. teaspoons are tricky.

Most fish oil's I've seen have soy fillers 🙁 And ingesting 5 grams of soy fillers a day can add up
Romeo, this is interesting, really interesting, no new breakouts in two days now and all my body acne is gone, COMPLETELY. Holy shiz. I have sense just added in Chromium, Biotin, and Alpha Lipoic Acid and Cinnamon. Added those in more than 14 hours ago and they haven't broken me out, I doubt they will. But dono if they help, I will see later, but the CLO has a VERY distinct effect. Wow. This and DKR and I might actually clear up 100% for the first time since I was a kid. I just hope it still goes well.
I forgot to add I pigged out on red beef and a bit of high fructose corn syrup apple sauce with organic oatmeal/brown rice grain with fruits and haven't broken out yet. I didn't go overboard though, I'll take a couple days and be nice to myself again, but the supplements might regulate it so people can eat again? Is this possible?
How do you put up with the taste of cod liver oil??And how many teaspoons a day?
Sorry but i read a lot of pages and people say too much different things
It tastes like nothing, no worse than water really.
Really? The girl of the store told me that tastes horrible (liquid)
How much do you take?

Yes! I had to bold your post so it serves as a bookmark for me, also so it catches people's eye. 🙂
That is awesome, I knew it, things are finally paying off 🙂 All this research for something, I knew we were missing something with just fish oil alone. Perhaps subtract the fillers and add in the retinol and D and we got ourselves a winner huh?
How long have you been on CLO for again? And which brand, same as mine, twin labs?
Also it's not the chromium/biotin/ala's results because I have read they take a while to get fully in your system, just like every thing else (including CLO).
I really believe retinol is very powerful, this may just be the key for many along with omega 3, and ensuring they are both pure, clean, and safe sources, not to metion the cheapest, is wonderful.
And about the food, yes if all this actually is what you were missing, you can go back to eating what you would love to eat if it does not break you out :). Awesome.

Fresh cod liver oil has no taste, it's fresh and tasteless 🙂 It has a mild cherry taste (the cherry flavored), if you try hard enough, you may taste a small hint of cod, but just barely anything if at all you even notice. It goes down easy.
3 teaspoons a day, very easy.
So since CLO offers more than the fish capsules, how much CLO is needed in a day?B/C on the very 1st page_Part 12 it said you should not take it, may overdose on vitamins..

I can't update the first page anymore, it won't allow me unless I take out some quotes. When I first made this thread, it allowed me to do that many quotes max, but now when I go edit just the text it says too many quotes and I have no how idea how many quotes max there are, but when I find out I can edit that information because it's wrong. The overdose warning comes from synthetic vitamin A. Also since it's in it's natural form, plus vitamin D in cod liver oil, it's safe. Check out the mercola article I posted a few pages back as well. Also here is another statement about toxicity.
ToxicityThe condition caused by vitamin A toxicity is called hypervitaminosis A. It is caused by overconsumption of preformed vitamin A, not carotenoids. Preformed vitamin A is rapidly absorbed and slowly cleared from the body, so toxicity may result acutely from high-dose exposure over a short period of time, or chronically from much lower intake (2). Vitamin A toxicity is relatively rare. Symptoms include nausea, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, dizziness, and dry skin. Signs of chronic toxicity include, dry itchy skin, loss of appetite, headache, and bone and joint pain. Severe cases of hypervitaminosis A may result in liver damage, hemorrhage, and coma. Generally, signs of toxicity are associated with long-term consumption of vitamin A in excess of 10 times the RDA (8,000 to 10,000 mcg/day or 25,000 to 33,000 IU/day). However, there is evidence that some populations may be more susceptible to toxicity at lower doses, including the elderly, chronic alcohol users, and some people with a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol (9).
So basically I knew very little about the whole vitamin A thing and believed it was black and white in terms of numbers, but it terms out we are safe. And plus, synthetic vitamin A is ten times more toxic than the type in cod liver oil :). Also note that the vitamin D protects vitamin A toxicity, so that's another plus.
That should clarify everything :).
In terms of doses, if you use the GNC brand or the Twin Labs brand (that I recommend, and use), then it's three teaspoons daily. That is it 🙂

Carlson usually is but that item has very poor amounts of vitamin A, and it says no EPA/DHA
Use this

That is what I use. Also found at whole foods. You can even find it at vitamin shoppe I believe.
Good luck
So, what's new as of late everyone? I've been out of the Fish Oil loop for pretty much the whole summer. My two recent derm visits have been inconclusive as far as asking what his two cents on Fish Oil are (of course he's gonna speak against it) and he was a money-grubbing bastard as well. $60 co-pay for two vists......nothing resolved, not even a peace of mind.
As far as my Fish Oil usage, I haven't gone above 2 grams a day because after months of usage I honestly have given up on superdosing because I've seen not much results against my oil. Thankfully luck has been on my side and my acne has been mild with more old marks than actual pimples, but my oil is still a nuisance and requires me to whisk away to a bathroom every day to blot off...........and I'm a guy!
Let me know as I'm out of the loop, later!

Start on page 128, on august 28th, most of us switched to cod liver oil as we learned more about it. It's done quite a few good things already so check it out. We learned more about it as opposed to previous beliefs with the whole vitamin A scare, Also due to the retinol content :), but check it out and let me know if you have any questions.
I'm still on my initial dosage, fourth week on, and has had no breakouts at all. There were few times when I thought I would get few pimples but nothing come out of it.
My skin is not so oily anymore. At the same time, the weather here changed and it's pretty cold nowdays. Don't know if the summer was bad because of all the humidity.
Should add I also supplement with low dosage of zinc & saw palmetto.
Did all of you switch to Cod liver oil?

Yes, add in zinc you should, saw is optional I don't know how effective it is but I take it.
Most of us have

I am going to try to find out how many quotes are possible because I really need to edit it badly.
the twin labs cod liver oil also makes a regular non flavored kind, as long as it does not say emulsified then it should be fine.
Try to cancel you order for the fish oil if you just ordered it, if possible, but if not then use them up, I am not sure how much the fillers effect people, but I think you will be okay as long as you are also taking cod liver oil.
I read in one of these threads...that I could buy cod liver oil at my local supermarket. Is that true? I hope so I am about to go food shopping. Can I find it there? And is it the same quality as other brands?
Edit: And around how much does it go for?
Edit 2: I am sorry if this has been asked already. I did read a few pages back and I didn't notice. Can I still take my fish oil together with Cod liver oil? I was thinking 1 Tablespoon of CLO in the morning 2 fish oil pills midday then 1 more tbls of CLO in the evening.
Thnx to anyone who can answer. TY OP!
