UPDATED: (I smell it!!) I don’t smell the fishy smell everyone was talking about…
*** updated: WOW! Okay, so, it took a few weeks. I’m guessing as the product ages and has contact with air, that’s when the fish smell really hits. Now we can’t escape it. Everything smells, the closet it was stored in, my son’s bedding, our dryer, anything it touches. We had to discontinue use. I’m still keeping my review at 5 stars because the product does its job.. (and people need to see the shift that happens with use) but you have to be able to deal with the forever fish smell.. so it’s a trade off. We couldn’t hack it. It’s been over two weeks without it and I’m not sure the fish smell will ever go away on his blanket.Original review: I noticed some of the reviews were for other products so I wanted to note that this review is for the “ Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA Xtra, Berry Punch - 2 oz for Kids”.I almost did not purchase this product because people spoke of fishy tastes and smells and my son has high needs with autism and is very sensitive to foods with a very small food repertoire (which is why we need the fish oil).I just don’t smell it. And I don’t taste it either. To me, it tastes like pineapples. Right now we are at a .75 ml dose (we always start low and move up) and we give it to him mixed in a spoonful of applesauce. I always try his meds first (if supplements) and I was super nervous about gagging between the texture and anticipated taste.. and honestly, I thought it was good. So, I gave it to him and I could tell he was surprised by the texture change (compared to his other applesauce meds) but he licked the spoon after. He’s taken it without issue for 3 days now. I make sure I wipe his mouth after incase I’m just not smelling the fish… but even my husband said he can’t smell it. Personally, I have a very strong sense of smell. I get nauseated easily. So, I was very nervous about how this would all go.. but I don’t know.. maybe those with really smelly ones just got a bad batch?I can’t speak to any effects yet as far as mood/focus/speech etc. Our son is vocal non-verbal and uses and AAC device (age 11). That’s not why we started this supplement though.. we just felt like he wasn’t getting enough omega 3 with his limited diet. I only learned of these other possible outcomes when reading reviews. We use a total communication approach with him to help meet his wants and needs and aren’t looking for any miracles, we just want our boy to be healthy and omega 3 is so good for you!I’ll update if we see any mood changes etc., but I just wanted to put it out there that I’m just not smelling any fish.. at all. (If that changes I’ll update too!!)

Be consistent to see results
My son was experiencing many delays in speech and cognitive/executive functioning- I did A LOT of research and decided to start him on a DHA/Omega, in a addition to Inulin and Olive Oil. This has really helped my son's progress with speech and executive functioning. I mix with a little bit of orange juice and he has no issue taking this nightly. I have not experienced the fishy smell, however I do refrigerate even though its not required. You will not see results overnight, it takes time. He has been taking this daily for 6 months and the progress was very noticeable 3 months in.

Good product
There's no fishy taste but does have an after taste if you don't chase it with something else. I've used it on my Autistic son for about 2 weeks now and I do notice him being more verbal. Singing songs!! He is nonverbal and would try to imitate the songs and can't say the words correctly but now he can pronounce it to where you can understand him!

The WORST NEW dropper! Why?
I would love to give this product 5 stars, as the product itself is great. It doesn’t smell like fish right away, and my 4-year-old loves taking it with his vitamin chocolate milk and I notice difference in his behavior. But don’t be fooled—it is fish oil, and if even a drop or smear accidentally falls on a counter or your hands, oh boy, you can smell it from far away!This brings me to the absolutely TERRIBLE new dropper, which has to be stored separately from the bottle, carrying the fishy oil with it. It’s disgusting and incredibly messy, as there’s always some oil left inside that ends up spreading in the storage area. Not only does this make me lose some milliliters of the product, but it’s also extremely messy.Not the best way to cut corners, dear company!
