I take Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil every morning. I will admit that I do have a some "fishy" burps for a few hours after taking it, but they usually go away by lunch time. Honestly, the fishy taste and fishy burps are really not that bad. For the amount of nutrients and vitamins I am getting, I will gladly take a couple fishy burps. If you are averse to fishy tastes, Green Pasture also offers Arctic Mint and Cinnamon Tingle flavors and Non-Gel Orange capsules. These flavors are great for kids!
Let me talk a little bit about real food. Real food is what our grandparents and generations before them ate. This is real food that is caught or grown in the wild, not the packaged convenience snacks and meals that are found on grocery store shelves (even at Whole Foods). It is crucial to eat real foods, real butters, real meats/fish, and real produce because that our bodies are meant to eat. We get the most nutrients from eating real food and we avoid many diseases and problems that are present in our society. Cod Liver Oil is a real food, as opposed to synthetic, man-made supplements. Synthetic supplements are not absorbed as well by our bodies and do not provide the same benefits as taking the real, natural forms of the same nutrients. Ask your grandparents, even your parents, about Cod Liver Oil. In Eastern Europe, as is done in other countries, my mom used to receive a daily tablespoon of Cod Liver Oil in kindergarten. In orphanages, babies and kids are fed Cod Liver Oil. Why? Because it is one of the best sources of nutrients to keep babies and kids growing and support adult bodies.
Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil can benefit adults, children, and especially pregnant and nursing women who need all of these nutrients and vitamins to ensure healthy development of their babies. Babies in the womb and up to 1 year desperately need DHA and Omega-3s for healthy brain development. Real foods are very important because they also provide crucial nutrients. Eating foods like eggs, coconut oil, raw milk (if available), raw milk cheeses (readily available), cream, fish eggs, etc. are going to provide the foundation for healthy future generations. The more and more I read about pregnancy and breastfeeding diets, the more I realize that real food (including fish, fish products, and whole dairy) is more important than my beliefs about a vegetarian diet. Whether you switch to whole/raw dairy, supplement with Cod Liver Oil, or eat a little bit of fish, your body and your children will greatly benefit.
I would highly recommend Green Pasture products because of the high quality, natural, wild sources of oils that offer the highest amounts of nutrients and vitamins. Whether your diet consists of meat/fish or not, supplementing with Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil will keep you and your family strong and healthy.
