There is such a thing as vitamin A overdose..cod liver oil has vitamin A which is supposed to be good. If you take too much, you can experience headaches and dizziness.

Thanks, I just learnt something new.
With the cold weather now, I give my kids cod liver oil 3x a week...hope it can boost immunity. Thinking of getting the Nordic brand cod liver oil which has omega 3.

My kids are taking Nordic brand artic cod liver oil and have done so for years. It is organic and is very pure and natural and contains omega 3,6 and 9. It has a clear light colour and is great tasting without the fishy taste unlike Scott's Emulsion which is milky in colour and taste horrible.

You can choose flavours from lemon, orange to strawberry. The oil does not come cheap.....A Small bottle costs about $50 plus and the large bottle is about $90.

So far my kids enjoy taking it everyday and it has helped boost their immune systems.

Hi Mummylow,

Thanks for the info…my son took Nordic peach flavour, thanks to a friend’s recommendation. Saw it sold at a shop in Paragon but was contemplating to get or not. Scotts emulsion smells terribly fishy.

Cod liver oil is a good source of omega-3.


Do you have high blood pressure? If you do, it is best you seek doctor's advice before taking cod liver oil.

Usually i take salmon oil.
Never try cod liver oil before.

I gave my son Scotts cod liver oil daily (orange) but he ended up having phlgem. Which is why I thought of Nordic. :idea:

I called vita kids at paragon this morn. Too busy to update here.

There is a promotion for vitamins now...25%. Nordic cod liver oil included. Will get the bigger bottle since there is discount :rahrah:
Th last time I wanted to get it, only those with standard chart credit cargig titled 10% and son was not with me, so dare not get it.

my kids take Moller’s Tran which is cod liver oil from Norway. Out of all the cod liver oil brands I researched, it has the most DHA and EPA, and surprisingly, a lot more vitamin D than the rest of the brands.


my kids rarely get sick; vitamin D helps the immunity. and it doesn’t taste at all like fish. though we only take the lemon flavour; i don’t know much about the original flavour.


price wise, it’s quite steep: 45 per bottle (250ml)

but i always felt that it was money well spent

We went to vitakids at Forum...apparently the 25% discount is not at the same shopping mall all the time. The discount for paragon applies tomorrow.

The peach flavor for Nordic brand is avail only for small bottle :sad: or else the bigger one would be more worth buying.

Now then I know there’s salmon oil in capsules. It’s usually in cod liver oil in capsules. I took cod liver oil for a few months but my cholesterol level never drop. Not effective for me.

Hi,


Properly fermented cod liver oil is very nutritious for children as well as adults. It is rich in naturally occurring omega 3, 6, 9s, which is vital for the nervous system and development. It is also rich in vitamin A and D, two vitamins that are essential for out immune system and helps prevent oestoperosis in adults. Many brands of cod liver oil or fish oil are processed with heat such that the natural nutrients are damaged, thus the need to add back synthetic vitamins to make up for the loss.

There is currently only one company in the world that processes cod liver oil through the traditional fermentation way. It not only retains all the natural nutrients, but also enhances them. It's based in the US but you can now buy them in Singapore here:

Although a bottle of fermented cod liver oil seems expensive at first sight, it is actually not so if you consider the nutrients you are getting from it. Learn more here:

You can learn about the differences of fermented cod liver oil versus regular cod liver oil or fish oil here:
