Cod Liver Oil

Omega-3 and fat-soluble vitamin support. You're getting less than 200mg of total Omega-3s per serving. Most studies use at least 500mg to 1000mg for heart and brain benefits. The Vitamin D level is also too low to correct a deficiency or even maintain healthy levels for most adults.

6.2/10
GOOD

This is a very low-dose oil that won't move the needle for most people.

Omega-3s are flexible but consistency matters most.

FoodTake with food

Fat-soluble nutrients like these need dietary fat to be absorbed properly.

SafetyAll clear

Consult a doctor if you are on blood thinners due to the mild anticoagulant effects of fish oil.

ResearchStrong evidence

Omega-3 benefits are well-documented but highly dose-dependent.

What We Like
