Grandmother was right
I did not buy the CLO off of Amazon and got it at Whole Foods instead (which is twice as expensive as here in Amazon). I was so impressed with the product that I had to come here to review it. Let me tell you my story.
I am 26 year old graduate student on a tight budget that had just moved to the United States. As many may know, this is the land of expensive dentistry and healthcare. A year after living here my gums began bleeding every time after brushing the teeth. Having little money and no dental insurance prompted me to research natural methods to maintaining and improving oral health.
In comes Weston Price and the related literature. Having had grown up in a Western European family that followed a tradition diet native to my country, the research presented on his website seemed to make sense and also was congruent with my personal experiences. For this reason, I decided to begin taking cod liver oil as a first step to improving dental health.
Carlson's CLO was the first product I tried. I bought it one month ago and have been taking 1-2 teaspoons everyday. The changes I have noticed since taking it:
1- Bleeding gums have stopped! I am so thankful and so happy.
2- The blackheads that covered my nose and cheeks have completely disappeared. My entire adolescence and twenties were plagued with them. The skin on my face looks healthier!
3- My hair, which has been for a decade now, curly and very dry & frizzy, is shiny and curls beautifully. For the first time in a decade, I can now simply air dry my hair and leave the house with minimal preparation. This can also be due to the fact that I started using a new deep conditioner. However, for years I have tried many things to no avail and it is a strange coincidence that this welcomed change occurred after taking CLO.
Why have I removed a star? Because this particular CLO is heated at high temperature and the natural Vitamin D is destroyed in the process. They have to artificially add it back.
Tastewise, this is smooth and does not leave a bad taste.
