@Carissa, Thank You Carissa! I just had someone else ask me this as well, so you’re answer is extremely helpful.

I know this is a bit late, but I have the answer for Becky’s question above. According to Sally Fallon’s chapter in _The Fourfold Healing_, you must take CLO with a saturated fat. Normally this is butter, but it doesn’t have to be: coconut oil, lard, tallow, etc. work equally well as nondairy options.

I've taken the fermented CLO from Green Pastures in capsules. I actually have a thing about trying to avoid encapsulated supplements most of the time, but.. whew! the idea of fermented fish oil was too much for me, and I wimped out and bought the capsules. My hubby and kids take Green Pastures CLO and they just gulp it right down. I think I could manage the unfermented kind if I had to… however, their butter oil is just too much. I think it's good stuff, mind you, as far as health goes. But MAN! It's got this distinctly rancid smell/taste to it that requires some REAL determination to get it down. I thought maybe we just got an "off" bottle, but I think we're on our third or fourth bottle of the stuff now, and it hasn't improved. So just be warned: if you can't take the taste, DEFINITELY go with capsules.

Very interesting. How are you supposed to take it? Do you drink it? Cook with it? Mix it with other foods? Just curious…
