Negative and mixed experiences
“It's also high in retinol, ie vitamin A. Supplemental vitamin A has been associated with increased mortality. I'd avoid cod liver oil.”
“I've tried cod liver oil and many different brands of fish oil...But with fish oil I am a little more uncertain.”
“I would drop the cod liver oil. You're probably getting too much pre-formed vitamin A as retinol from it (bad)”
