How Much Cod Liver Oil Should You Take?

Läs på svenska

Cod liver oil has been taken by the spoonful for centuries, but how much is right today? The honest answer: follow the label, because concentration varies between products — here are the principles.

Start with the label

Because vitamin A and D content differs by brand, the manufacturer’s stated serving is your reference point. For Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil the traditional serving is around one teaspoon (about 5 ml) per day.

Liquid or capsules?

  • Liquid — a teaspoon is easy to adjust and the freshest way to take it. Many take it with food.
  • Softgels — a convenient, taste-free option; simply follow the capsule count on the pack.

Things to keep in mind

Cod liver oil contains vitamin A, which is fat-soluble and accumulates, so more is not better — stick to the recommended serving. If you are pregnant, take other vitamin A supplements, or have a medical condition, speak with a healthcare professional about what’s right for you.
