"Difficult to dispense from bottle"

Unfortunately it''s difficult to get the drops out. I really have to hit or shake the bottle quite hard, and then the size and number of drops can''t be controlled - so one day to the next I''m probably getting a very different dose. Also not massively keen on the olive oil taste.

Thought this would be easier to regulate than taking tablets but the dropper gets clogged and I can sit for minutes waiting for one drop to come out. Taste isn’t great either, I’m going back to tablets!

Im very glad to have this. Sunshine is a rare comodity at the moment and apart from a pleasant taste of olive oil, is indeed odourless and very easy to take.
