Well one downside is the only good flavors are chocolate and plain, can't stand the mint/strawberry/banana. Another is that it's vegan so the dha/epa ratio is not ideal, it's debatable how much this matters and basically there is no vegan product which solves it that I'm aware of so you're in the same boat as all the other vegans (if you buy vegan omega 3 with high dha you're actually getting mislabeled fish oil or they're lying).
