As an Icelander raised on Lýsi (cod liver oil) I remember fishy burps all day long as a kid. I still take Lýsi every day but the burps are gone, it's probably a couple of decades now since they perfected purification of the oil to make it mostly taste/smell free. My kids still get lýsi every day to no complaints (and it's a part of the daily routine in Icelandic kindergartens).


When is the best time to give the code liver oil to a kid?

(Or maybe it does not matter) but I read multiple suggestions: in the morning after breakfast or at least 1-2 hours _before_ a meal or at least 1-2 hours _after_ a meal.

Can you please share when do you give this? ( I am assuming that you have a better tradition/understanding of this)


Yes, I have also started recently to eat daily some cod liver oil and I have been surprised that it has only a very faint and pleasant fishy flavor.

The fish oil that was available when I was a child had a much stronger and less pleasant smell.
