It's a good supplement, but if you don't like the taste you can just use fish oil or krill oil pills.
Everyone needs a healthy balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
I believe it is the Omega 3's that the modern diet generally lacks. This is due to farming practices where we feed our cattle and pigs corn and other grains instead of grass. Grass fed beef is expensive as hell and it takes a lot of land to feed that many cattle, so we settle for corn instead.
Omega 3's act as a natural blood thinner and anti-inflammatory agent. Most folks are deficient in it.

I think a big advocate for fermented cod liver oil was Weston A. Price. He was a dentist who researched diets of people around the world and how diet impacted the health of their teeth. Price gave great health advice but his recommendation for CLO sort of confuses me.
One thing for sure is that a lot of CLO is synthetic or processed unnaturally rendering it unhealthy or at least denatured. Also the original way of taking CLO was fermented. Stores do not sell fermented cod liver oil because of controversy about bacteria and possibility of contaminations from the fermented product.
The only big brand I know of is Green Pastures. It is expensive. I used it for a couple years but I may not continue purchasing it. In fact I have eliminated most vitamins and supplements from my diet and I feel better not taking them. Just concentrate on other health promoting things that do not cost so much.
