Very Useful Supplement, But Taste Is A Factor Dec 25, 2008
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 Mar 08, 2009
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 Jul 18, 2009
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.

Good product, trouble with packaging Jan 07, 2009
By Leslie Ann Lewis
I think just about every doctor in America tells his or her patients to take an Omega-3 supplement for heart health...and just about every person that does gags the first time they try to swallow one of those fish pills and then have to deal with those "fish burps" - no one should ever have to suffer through those.
This little product could do the trick. The orange flavoring is not too bad - keep in mind it is supposed to be a healthful supplement so it is not going to taste like candy or juice - and the consistency is pretty smooth. I had a little more trouble opening the individual packages than I would have liked and once I could get them to open it was difficult to get open all the way. That is trouble if you are looking for something to take "on the go" because it is a pain to have to ask someone else to open it or to have to try to find scissors.
While this might be pricer than some other supplements offered, keep in mind that you are also paying for convenience. You pay more for milk when you stop at the gas station because you are paying to not have to walk all the way to the back of the grocery store. Here you have little ketchup-like packages to carry in your purse, bag, or pocket and those little packages cost money. For me, anything that can make my life easier while keeping me healthy is probably worth the cost.

Easy way to take your vitamins! Jan 02, 2009
By J. Brooks
This is an ingenious way to take your daily dose of CO Q10 and omega-3s! Just rip the top of the ketchup packet like pouch and squeeze! No horse pill sized tablets to deal with.
The flavor is almost that of an orange creamsicle however my sensitive little taste buds always get a slight aftertaste of egg yolk, not the best taste in the world.
I would highly recommend getting these for anyone who has a hard time choking down pills everyday or to add these to your vitamin regiment as an alternative when you just don't feel like choking down a couple of pills. That and they make a great "on the go" alternative since no water is needed.
Pros:
Easy and convenient
Fairly pleasant taste and texture (really creamy)
Eliminates the need for a glass of water AND choking down a handful of pills
Cons:
Can have a slight unpleasant aftertaste
Made me want to puke the first time I took one
Kind of pricey
