Cod Liver Oil

I have noticed that some brands of this vitamin suggest that you take 3 a day (1 with each meal) and some only suggest 1 a day? Does anyone have any idea why this is ?

Re: Cod Liver Oil
I don't see where the dosage is, but when I compare 2 brands (where one says take 1 and the other take 3) the same amount of Vitamin A (1250 IU) and Vitamin D (135 IU) are the same.

Re: Cod Liver Oil
I'd look up the maximum RDA of each one and do that dosage instead. Vitamin A for example, can be nasty if you take too much, and even toxic. Vitamin A (look at the top left)
Vitamin D, you're probably ok taking all 3 a day, but for the Vit A I'd probably only take 2 a day. Plus you also have to account for having some of each also added daily with whatever food ya eat/sun ya get.

Re: Cod Liver Oil
Thanks for the article, very helpful! The RDA is 5000 IU, taking 3 of the one I have is 1250 IU per capsule so thats 3750 IU per day, so that leaves enough for food/sun

Are they different dosages per brand?
