It is proven and recognized, cod liver oil is a gold mine in vitamin D, anti-oxidants … and so many other things …

For my part, I would like to get started .

Where to get it?

In pharmacies, this is what emerges. Not given what I could read on the google forums.

And at Décathlon !!!!!

Surprised, I visit the site …. It is for animals, horses … On the forums, some also give it to their poultry.
The price per liter at less than 10 e …. or between 8 and 10 times cheaper than in pharmacies.
Now the question I ask myself.
100% cod liver oil is
cod liver oil, right?

It can be eaten by humans as well as animals, right?

I know, it’s super stupid as a question.

But I do not see myself asking that of the pharmacist who, I suppose, concerned about giving me HIS cod liver oil, will necessarily advertise it to me without any objectivity.

At Decathlon … I don’t really know what they could answer me.

Me, I would like to know those and those who consume cod liver oil, where do they buy it … and possibly what they would have to answer me.

Without making fun.

I do not plan to consume it once in passing, but on a regular basis … and for a long time.

Because I’m drawn to all of its health benefits … although the taste can be repellent. A tablespoon doesn’t kill either.

Thank you in advance for all the answers that will be given to me.

Cod liver oil contains vitamins A and D: their overdose exposes them to serious side effects. A tablespoon a day seems huge to me.

Vitamin A is provided by fatty substances: mainly fish liver oil, egg yolk, butter and other dairy products. It is also made by the liver from certain foods: vegetables, fruits. A balanced and diversified diet usually provides sufficient amounts of vitamin A.

For vitamin D: exposure to the sun and possibly, in case of deficiencies, have your doctor prescribe vitamin D: 1.80 euros per monthly dose.

For the rest, by eating twice a week a tin of sardines in oil and taking a spoonful of virgin olive oil per day you will have practically the same results.

Thank you for your answer …

I wrote a tablespoon … It can be a teaspoon, depending on the “recommended” dosages.

I don’t want to overdose on it either.

But in view of possible deficiencies in this vitamin D, even by eating a balanced diet (or by trying, at least) I realize that everyone as much as we are … we lack this vitamin D.

But if at 20 years old, it does not seem to be lacking, when one zaps around the 50’s, with menopause through, it can prove to be insufficient for the bones.

The sun … don’t tell me about it. At the moment, we are in a gray fog from one end of the week to the other, and when we spend 5 days a week in the office, the sun, we do not have too much time to enjoy its benefits.

Olive oil, I do not remember that it is indicated in the tables. As for other foods that contain it, we do not eat it every day or sparingly. I very much doubt that this is really enough.

Possible that I am wrong.

However, I remember that, as a little child, my nanny gave me a (teaspoon) spoon every morning.

Of course, I didn’t like it … But she insisted, always telling me that it was essential for my health.

Today, I think about it at the same time that I think about this famous health.

There are so many new products on the market. And old remedies from grandmothers … or nannies.

Why not bring them up to date and in the news? Simply.

Hello,

According to this table from an official Canadian health site:

http://www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/suj […] vitamin_d

A tablespoon of vitamin D provides 35mcg of vitamin D.

The official recommended intake doses are always 200IU or 5 μg per day in France. A tablespoon therefore provides 7x5mcg or 1400IU.

It may sound like a lot, but sunbathing in a swimsuit for 20 ‘in summer synthesizes 10,000 IU (ten thousand) endogenously. And since in winter you don’t tan from the sun, 1400IU is a very reasonable dose. This is why many vitamin D experts believe that recommended vitamin D dosages should be re-evaluated by a factor of 10 (2000IU) outside of the summer months.

A big downside, however, with cod liver oil which despite its vitamin D and omega 3 intake contains too much vitamin A in the form of retinol which has vitamin D antagonistic effects (on bone health for example). .

Hello, I know the subject is old but I cannot find organic cod liver oil … I read this article
https://huilesante.com/dossier […] cod- bio / which explains that this is normal since the organic label for cod does not exist. Is it still relevant ?
