But, I recently ordered the supplement with a "hint" of chocolate since I am a die-hard chocolate lover. What a mistake! The hint of chocolate is the worse combination with the orange flavor and I almost gag with each dose. I am trying to decide if I should throw out the box or just suffer through the next 80 packets.

Then one day, I read the label on the box. Two preservatives in the ingredients stand out. The first is Potassium Sorbate, and the other Sodium Benzoate. <br /> <br />I searched the web and found in [...] on both of these preservatives. Potassium Sorbate is a safe preservative against molds and yeasts. But in 2007 a UK's Food Standards Agency published a research suggests that Sodium Benzoate is linked to "hyperactive behaviour and decreased intelligence in children." <br /> <br />In addition, Professor Peter Piper of the University of Sheffield claims that sodium benzoate by itself can damage and inactivate vital parts of DNA in a cell's mitochondria. ""The mitochondria consumes the oxygen to give you energy and if you damage it - as happens in a number of diseased states - then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously. And there is a whole array of diseases that are now being tied to damage to this DNA - Parkinson's and quite a lot of neuro-degenerative diseases, but above all the whole process of aging" <br /> <br />Based on these studies and warnings, I decided to stop giving this product to my kids. These studies may turn out to be untrue in years to come. But I do not want to give it the benefit of doubt. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 I don’t want to sound like an alarmist but I have been feeding my two kids with this product for the last 6 months.

I love chocolate but this flavor does not work well. I do not burp and have horrible fish taste in my mouth with them like most fish oil but the regular orange flavor is what I will be buying next time.

I would and do recommend this product to any one for any child. My daughter loves the taste and takes it right off a spoon or sucked from the package!

It's easy, convenient and works so much better than any omega-3 fish oil gel caps. No after taste; delicious flavor-just like a spoonful of pudding. I really like the orange with the hint of chocolate. Really makes my morning! Rating: 5 / 5 Love it, love it, love it!
