Prior to 2008, I have recommended cod liver oil as a dietary supplement to support healthy vitamin D levels.
However, based on more recent findings, I am updating my recommendations regarding cod liver oil, as it may not serve you as well as I previously believed.
My previous recommendation was based on the fact that cod liver oil contains vitamins D and A in addition to healthy omega-3 fats. These vitamins are essential, for most everyone who cannot get regular sun exposure year-round vitamin D must be supplemented.
