What is the difference between this 1000mg Lightly Lemon Swanson Cod Liver Oil, and their regular Cod Liver Oil soft gels (also 1000mg.)? Thank you.

I can't answer that easily because I'd be comparing 1 teaspoon of oil against 1 to 5 soft gel caps -- I'd guess you could get the supplement facts for both of them on Carlson's website to do your comparison. Both have the lightly lemon taste-- I've used the unencapsulated oil as a salad dressing. I just happen to like the capsules...they both taste great.

Actually, a lot of people like to chew on fish oil/cod liver oil pills instead of swallow them. The lemon flavor is actually pretty nice for that. I don't chew it, but the lemon flavor is nice for the, erm, burps afterward.... Gross, sorry.

The hint of lemon makes this one pleasant to digest and less reflux as with the regular for some.

The only difference we noted was that you are required to take more each day then with the regular (non lemon) soft gels. Hope this helps.

When you use the Cod Liver Oil flavored Lightly with Lemon, you don't taste it (usually over and over) again. My eye doctor told me about this, when he strongly suggested that I try it for an issue that I'm having with my eyes - - he knows that I'm a wimp about the taste of cod liver oil anyhow, so he suggested that I use the lemon-flavored oil; but he did tell me to use Carlson's oil, whatever flavor that I ended up using. He would not recommend any of the other brands of cod liver oils. Hope that this helps.

one is a liquid form and has a light lemon flavor added and the other is a soft gel w/o lemon

We recently updated our label to a new, more modern look. The fish oil softgels in the bottle have not changed. They are the same pharmaceutical quality they have always been.We decided to drop the term "pharmarceutical grade" from the label, even though it is the commonly used industry term for fish oil that is of the highest quality like we sell. Technically, the FDA does not grade fish oil and it has caused some confusion, so we decided to drop the term.Thanks,Kurt - Young Life Research

The carlson fish oil has a higher concentration of EPA and DHA vs the cod liver oil

EPA has 800mg and the DHA is 600mg total. That's the amount you will be getting when you take the 2 softgels each day.

They are a decent adult size at 1,000mg each (as it says on the front of the bottle), so it depends on how big your "kid" is. :) Personally, I give my kids Vital Choice wild sockeye salmon oil. It's a pure, natural form product and tastes fresh. They can chew them up, get the oil out, and discard the softgel casing. Works great!

They sell another butter oil which is in capsules, I think that is the one you are talking about. It has 60 servings, while the straight butter oil which is not in capsules has 96 servings. It breaks down to about 62 cents a serving for capsules and 59 cents a serving for the straight oil. The oil is easy to take and tastes buttery.There is also a high vitamin butter oil and fermented cod liver oil blend. Not sure if you might be referring to that one? Some of those are more expensive and some are less, depending on the seller. In that case, it's 2/3 cod liver oil and only 1/3 butter oil.Hope this helps.

Sorry. I dont know the answer. All I know it is made with Artic Cod fish oil. If that helps.

Look at the nutritional label for both. The 3 capsule serving is not comparable to the 1TB serving of the oil. You have to take way more than 3 capsules to get the same benefits contained in 1TB of the oil. Highly suggest going with the oil. If you mix it into smoothies like my mom does, you can't taste it.

I don't know the difference because I've not tried the other products, only the liver detoxifier. In preparation for a weight loss program, a Naturopath recommended I do a liver detox before hand to stave off gall-bladder problems that can happen to dieters. It must have worked well, because I didn't have any problems...

Each softgel is 1,200mg in size, so they are about average for fish softgels. Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega, for instance is 1,000mg per softgel. Omegavia is 1,300mg per softgel. That's about as big as they go. I wish they made these in 500 or even 600mg size. Their size now is ok, but I would like a smaller one, too. However, that would be more expensive and mean taking twice as many softgels. :)

These fish oil capsules are smaller than others I have tried. They are also more concentrated so you take only 1 per day. The best part for me is that they have less after taste for 'fishy' burps than other fish oil pills. I have finally found one I can take.

I'm not sure if it is the same, cause these are soft gels that 25,000mg of cranberry, on the bottle of these soft gels it says 1 serving eqauls to a glass of cranberry juice, but also 500mgs of cranberry concentrate is equivalent to 25,000mg of fresh cranberries per serving thats acording to back of the soft gels bottle its under the supplement facts on the bottle of soft gels , I hope that helps

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspx I don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain. You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

Tracy - the Sibu Seven soft-gel is 100% sea buckthorn "fruit oil" where as the Sibu Beauty product is 80% SBT fruit oil and 20% SBT seed oil. all the Omega 7 comes from the fruit oil so the Sibu Seven product is more potent. That whole Sibu Seven line is about the Omega 7 so each product has maximum concentration of the components that contain Omega 7. The Sibu Seven Pure is the most potent with about double the amount of Omega 7 than this product. But (fair warning) it has a very strong tart taste, as it consists of 100% pureed SBT berries in a bottle. Awesome product!

bottle only states distributed by Nordic Naturals Inc Watsonville, CA... "surpasses the strict international standards for purity and freshness (European Pharmacopoeia and World health Organization"). 1 soft gel = 1000 mg fish oil. Crude fat 67%, moisture 3%, total omega 3 = 21% (EPA 10%, DHA 6%. Ingredients = anchovy oil, sardine oil, gelatin, water, glycerin, d-alpha tocopherol (a preservative). No articifial colors or flavors. Hope this helps. We love it and trust it to our dogs!!

As Nordic Naturals is slowing changing the labels on their products, they are indicating the total amount of Omega-3's per serving in the product. As you can see on the bottom of the image of the product, each softgel is still 1,000 mg, which is the amount of fish oil per softgel. The 690 mg above that refers to the total amount of Omega-3s per SERVING (of 2 softgels), since this is more concentrated than many other brands. We hope this helps.

According to the label on the container I bought- 1 soft gel contains 150 mg EPA /90 mg DHA / 310 mg total omega-3 fatty acids, 1 soft gel=1500 mg / 1 soft gel contains 1000 mg fish oil Hope this helps
