My local stores stopped carrying it, I loved it because my kids would take it without problems, and compared to the little kid capsules the price is so much better

Comments about Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Cod Liver Oil With Lemon, 8 fl oz:
I mix with a small amount of juice and drink twice a day now. I like this better than gel cap Fish Oil, because it doesn't leave that fishy after taste. First few days, I would mix a teaspoon into a smoothie but the oil is heavier and the last fews swallows weren't that pleasant due to the oily feel. So keep in mind to stir every so often if you are just sipping your smoothie. Does not have a fishy smell or taste. Amazing. I keep wondering if it works!

Comments about Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Cod Liver Oil With Lemon, 8 fl oz:
I take cod liver oil for the vitamin D. This product has been stripped of its vitamin D. I read ingredients but not label when ordering. Suppose this is a fine product for those simply looking for omega-3, but it doesn't fulfill my needs. Now I have to make emergency order from elsewhere to get what I needed.
Comments about Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Cod Liver Oil With Lemon, 8 fl oz:
Purchased this in hopes it might help with my daughters allergy/asthma after reading several reviews regarding Cod Liver Oil. Didn't seem to help after using over 1 week, still very stuffy and loud snoring/breathing at night. :-( May try another brand at some point. The taste was fine (I thought), my daughter (5) didn't really like but, it wasn't the taste it was the oily texture that she wasn't used to. No taste of fish whatsoever for this, just slight lemon.
Comments about Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Cod Liver Oil With Lemon, 8 fl oz:
I got this to give to the kids, as the other reviewer said it doesn't taste fishy. It has a lemon balm taste but an oily mouth feel of course. One out of two of my children will take it with no problem (the one who won't has hyper taste and smell and isn't a "normal" child in that respect). I got it to help mainly with my daughter's asthma, so far so good, she had a mild cold this week and I only had to give her one nebulizer treatment during that time. Of course it is too early to say whether or not it is from the oil or coincidence.

Comments about Spectrum Essentials Norwegian Cod Liver Oil With Lemon, 8 fl oz:
When I was little, my mom gave cod live oil to us and let me tell you if they would have had this product, I wouldn't have minded taking it at all! I am aware of its benifits, but the taste was awful, but not this product. It has a lemon after taste instead of fish. Will definately get again.
