<![CDATA[Cod liver oil good for adults?]]>Hi,


I have recently been taking cod liver oil to boost my immune system, the instructions say take 3 tablespoons a day and I did and have been experiencing bad headaches. I have now been taking one teaspoon a day and the headaches stopped. I am wondering if there are real health benefits to taking cod liver oil…and why I had headaches when I followed the dosage as instructed…

Last time tis salesperson told me that consuming liquid form of fish oil is better than capsule type coz it's easier absorbed by the body 🤷


The smell is very strong! DC taking it every morning & even after washing the glasses, I can still smell it in the sink. We used to put the oil in plastic cups but changed to glass. Easier to wash off the smell for the glass.

I think it's easier for kids to take the liquid version if they started on it really young. No preconceived bias. Not like adults. The thought of it is enough to make us :sick:

My kids take liquid form too and yes, it comes in glass bottle, I guess it preserves better in a glass bottle. If my kids takes it, they will smell of fish oil if they didn't rinse their mouth throughly but they r okie n used to the smell though :scared:

The capsules have no smell... but when you burp after eating them... yuck!

The worst is when someone who just had a capsule, burped in your face while trying to kiss you! :sick:

Finally there are some activities to this thread. I know Scott's Emulsion Cod liver oil is good for immunity.


But, my concern is.. why did GSK change the recommeded dosage for the 1 to 3 year old from 15ml once a day to only 5ml once a day ??? What is the reason for the change ?? Had there been a concern on Vitamin A overload to the below 3 year old with 15ml once a day ?? 😓

msscarlet:
My son has been eating Scott's cod liver oil orange flavor and I can say that his immune system has been strengthened. I'm having a bad bout of cough & phlegm my hubby also but my son is totally fine.


I guess I should get started on cod liver oil too!
cod liver oil does build up immunity...but the fishy smell/taste is hard to swallow. bought the tangy mango for son...he's fine with it but my daughter said the fishy taste is still there. I tried taking vit c, but appetite is so good after that.

I have noticed that they have recently changed their packaging after so many years. 1 obvious thing to note is that the recommended dosages for children have been changed. Previously, it was Children 1 to 6 years old, 15ml once a day. Children 7 to 12 years old, 15ml twice a day. Now, under the new packaging, it is Children 1 to 3 year old, 5ml once a day. Children 4 to 8 years old, 15ml once a day.

Did you notice the stark diffrence, particularly for those who had been feeding their less than 3 year old 15ml once a day by following the old recommendation ? 15ml vs the current 5ml recommended dosage.

Has GSK been wrongly recommending too high a dosage in the past, and now changed it to a lower dosage ? Would any harms would have been done on the 1 to 3 year old that had been fed 15ml once a day ?? was the vitamin A intake too high for that group & GSK has only now realised it.

Any comments ? :scratchhead:

Laurenwkids:
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.

Correct.
Not just excessive vitamin A but because our oceans are so polluted, the risk of contamination is greater in cod liver oil.
That's the reason why I take fish oil instead for my daily Omega-3/6 supplement.

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:

Hope this info is useful!
