Reality of Vitamin A Toxicity from Cod Liver Oil (CLO)

Is it safe to take CLO for omega-3?

Cod liver oil is used as a source of omega-3, vitamin A, and vitamin D. Studies have shown that it is better anti-inflammatory than plain omega-3 supplements. However, there is a fear of hypervitaminosis A (vitamin A toxicity.) Here is an article I have written about the chances of vitamin A toxicity and cod liver oil consumption. Summary is that adults have to consume 100x more than recommended dose of cod liver oil and children have to consume more than 20x the daily recommended dose of cod liver oil to have acute toxicity. More data and evidence in the article linked below.

(Note: I have started writing articles with your support so that we can have all the information in one place, instead of mixed in the substack posts.)
