Frequently asked questions
- How is cod liver oil different from regular fish oil?
- Cod liver oil comes from the liver of cod and naturally contains vitamins A and D in addition to the omega-3s EPA and DHA. Standard fish oil is pressed from the body of oily fish and is not a notable source of those vitamins.
- Is this suitable for children?
- Carlson formulates it for children and gives it a natural lemon flavour; it is a liquid taken by the spoonful rather than a softgel. As with any children's supplement, follow the label and check with a healthcare professional.
- Where is the cod sourced?
- Carlson uses wild Norwegian Arctic cod, processed at a regulated Norwegian facility, and the oil is IFOS certified for purity and freshness.
- Does it need refrigerating once opened?
- Carlson advises refrigerating the liquid after opening and using the bottle within about 100 days; check the label to confirm the exact window.
