Very Useful Supplement, But Taste Is A Factor
By City Of Rocks
Well, I like this supplement on many scores. For those of us who just really don't enjoy swallowing tablets, this gel format goes down easier. Not only that, but the supplement has an incredibly useful grouping of ingredients, and those consumers who need an extra boost in these supplements may enjoy quick benefit from them. The omegas, CoQ10 and other ingredients have a lot more benefits than just heart health, so it's a fabulous grouping and I'm really enjoying that.

However, the company that makes this product really boosts your expectations in the taste department, only to disappoint. But for good, healthy reasons. This product has no sugar-soooo much better for your health, and makes this product accessible perhaps to diabetics. But when you taste it, there is a very bitter aftertaste that actually made my tongue tingle. The aftertaste is lingering, too. This is probably because the gel is sweetened with Stevia, which if you've ever used this all-natural sweetener, it is terribly bitter, but better for you.

Then maybe half a minute later, the fish taste started kicking in, though not as powerfully as with other supplements I've tried. The omegas probably come from fish oil, I'd surmise from this taste. And then of course with fish oil there's the occasional taste that comes into your mouth every once in a while, but again, I've tasted much worse.

But in the end, all the reasons this stuff tastes less than completely delicious is because of a health benefit. So I would probably still buy this for all those benefits. I can soldier through the taste, mostly because I know what else is out there, and I know the reasons are healthy.

If you are a Mitral Valve Prolapse sufferer with panic attacks as a result of that, you might want to try this. It may improve things for you.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Talk to your doctor if you're on medication to see if it's okay to take. You should do this with any supplement, and watch for patterns regarding how you feel. And don't forget to wash your lips before you kiss your spouse. There's fish oil in there.

A convenient way to take supplements
By a reader
This is much nicer to take than huge fish oil pills. It doesn't upset my stomach and the CoQ10 is a bonus. I have previously tried Coromega's orange flavored Omega 3 supplement which tastes a lot better than this.
This taste isn't terrible so it's a trade off - a slightly artificial flavor or a big, hard to swallow pill. Another plus is that these individual packets are easy to take along on a trip, or to just carry in your purse or pocket.

Coromega Healthy Heart
By Belinda B. Sands
No fishy after taste, easy to take....no large pills. Liked the flavor...could take it alone, but I mix it in yogurt, cottage cheese or smoothie.
