This is the best Vegan DHA EPA product so far. Solution to fishy taste in my review.
Have noticed positive changes in my eyesight and mood since taking this supplement. I like this particular product because it has no extra chemicals such as carrageenan or caramel color unlike the other brands of vegan DHA/EPA supplements. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a strong fishy smell and taste BUT this is easily solved. I found two solutions to the problem. One way is to take it with a teaspoon of lemon juice. The second and best way is to purchase vegetarian gel capsules, 0 or 00 size (I use 0 size caps), and make your own pills by using the eyedropper that already comes with this product. The result is ZERO fishy taste! Only make one pill at a time because the gel capsule will probably dissolve from the liquid if given time. A whole serving fills one 0 size capsule.Please vote this review as helpful, if you found it to be so other users will find the solution to the fishy taste.

Vegan with both dha and epa
I previously used the regular deva vegan dha drops. But was glad to see they had a dha and epa version. Was dificult finding something that was vegan and in a form that kids would like. This does the trick. Kids like the flavor too.This has a doseage for children an adults. The price is good also compared to the vegan version of nordic naturals. Also, this should be refrigerated after opening.I would recommend this product. Only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is because it clumps up. Really needs a good shaking every time or it seperates and one part settles at the bottom. And the dropper is terrible. It leaks out often.update 2/25/2015- i continue to use this product. Several months ago I realized something was different with the liquid. I contacted Deva and they informed me that they changed the formula. The new formula does not clump up and the dropper leaks much less. I updated my review to reflect 5 stars.

Okay. Maybe not for early pregnancy
These drops did the job for the first half of my pregnancy, but I had morning sickness for 2.5 months and was positively sickened by even the smell of a drip on the closed bottle. I had to hold my nose while taking my dose, swallow with my nose still pinched (did you know that's possible? I didn't), then immediately start on a piece of strong cinnamon chewing gum so I wouldn't wretch.That said, once the morning sickness and taste distortion let up and I was able to go back to eating broccoli and lentils with joy, the DHA drops became suddenly tolerable. Mostly just tasted like funky lemon. No gum necessary. I finished them off and bought some DHA capsules instead, just because the drops are a little messy and the bottle tended to leak somehow. But if you aren't experiencing severe food aversions and you need drops, these will probably do you fine.

For a specific consumer
PROS: No carrageenan!; adjustable dose; EPA+DHA; not overly expensiveCONS: Taste hahaWho knew algae oil from the sea would taste like.... the sea? Yes, the taste isn't great but I drop it into some bread and get it over with in 20 seconds. The 5-star review comes from the PROS I listed. There are no other carrageenan-free products that also have epa AND dha combined close to this ratio. The dropper allows you to adjust the dose to your liking and the product is priced competitively with other sources of EPA+DHA. I got what I expected when I bought it, so 5 star. I imagine low star rankings are because the taste surprised people.

Bought the two pack, only got one
This is a good product but i paid for the two pack and only got one bottle. Doesn't seem to be a way to reach out other than leaving this review, so here i am.

Vegan DHA/EPA that “masks” out fishy flavor
I bought this for my 2 year old to use as part of a regimen to remineralize her teeth that have enamel hypoplasia. She takes it without a struggle but i cannot stomach the scent or the taste. It does have a lemon flavor but I will be looking for a less fishy version to give her when I run out.

Good for baby
This doesn't smell or taste as fishy as I expected and the lemon flavor is very mild and it's just the essence of lemon (not sweet or sour) so it mixes well with anything without being detectable. We give this to our baby as we wean from milk. Just 3-4 drops in milk or food and it doesn't matter what the food is, baby eats it without protest. I can't verify the quality of the supplement and like most supplements the results may never be directly correlated, but I've used other Deva products and they are usually well reviewed. I have also used Deva vegan DHA gel caps. We are a vegan family and buy vegan supplements and I am glad this product is available at a reasonable price.

The taste is great but the dropper gets clogged before the bottle gets ...
The taste is great but the dropper gets clogged before the bottle gets used. Even worse is that the product stratifies pretty bad. There always ends up being a clogged glob at the bottom and the end of use, and this is a significant portion of product. I have gone through many of these for my daughter, who is now 5. After this last bottle I will be switching to the pills.To use the pills you just poke the end with a needle and squeeze it out. I wish they made flavored or chewable pills. My daughter, understandably, hates the taste.
