Who it's for

Cod liver oil suits adults who want a traditional, food-based source of omega-3s together with vitamins A and D — including people looking for a single supplement that covers all three, and those drawn to a classic, time-tested oil.* It is a good fit during the winter months when vitamin D from sunlight is limited.* Because it supplies vitamin A, it is best used by those who aren't taking other high-dose vitamin A products and who aren't pregnant without a doctor's guidance.*

Suggested use

Take 1 softgel daily with a meal. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between cod liver oil and regular fish oil?
Regular fish oil is pressed from the body of fish and provides mainly EPA and DHA. Cod liver oil comes from the liver of cod and naturally contains vitamins A and D in addition to omega-3s — which is why it's traditionally valued as a source of all three.*

Does it really contain vitamins A and D?
Yes — this softgel provides vitamin A (33% DV) and vitamin D-3 (400 IU), partly naturally occurring in the cod liver oil and partly added for consistency. That's what makes cod liver oil distinct from ordinary fish oil.*

How should I take it?
Take one softgel daily with a meal, or as directed. Because it supplies vitamin A, avoid stacking it with other high-dose vitamin A supplements, and talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant.*

Cautions & interactions

Cod liver oil naturally contains vitamin A, so do not combine it with other high-dose vitamin A supplements, and talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or may become pregnant, since high vitamin A intake is a concern in pregnancy. Its omega-3s can mildly thin the blood, so check with your doctor if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication or are scheduled for surgery. It contains fish (cod); do not use with a fish allergy. Take with food, keep out of reach of children, and consult your physician if nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition.

Allergen information: fish (cod).

Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
