Vitamin World Cod Liver Oil
Brand: Vitamin World · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
Our assessment: Vitamin World Cod Liver Oil is a source of vitamins A and D, but the data provided does not include specific amounts of these nutrients per serving. Without this information, we cannot confirm if it meets the RDA for you. The evidence shows that cod liver oil has a long history of use, but you should be aware that vitamin A content can vary significantly between products [NIH ODS].
How it works
Cod liver oil provides vitamin D, which acts as a master regulator for your immune system and supports calcium absorption for bone health [NIH ODS]. It also supplies vitamin A, which is essential for vision and immune function [NIH ODS]. The specific effects of this product depend on the exact dosage of these vitamins, which is not available in the provided data.
Safety profile
Data not available. The provided data includes no adverse event reports or side effect information from the FDA for this specific product. Because cod liver oil contains vitamin A, taking high doses over time can lead to toxicity, but specific risks for this product cannot be assessed without the vitamin A content per serving [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before taking Vitamin World Cod Liver Oil, check the label for the exact amounts of vitamin A and vitamin D per serving. Compare these to the RDA of 600 IU for vitamin D and the RDA of 700-900 mcg RAE for vitamin A for adults [NIH ODS]. Without this data, we cannot provide a confident daily dose. Choose a product with clear, transparent labeling.
